RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks

[ACT Crusader]

Congrats France.

Far better in the 2nd half than us.

Shades of 99

[Bovidae]

I can't understand the ABs kicking game. In these conditions you either kick long or kick it out.

We played at the wrong end of the field in the 2nd half.

[Chris]

I wonder if we can lose to Italy and not get out of the pool.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae and opted to do that too, fucking dumb

[BerhamporeNinja]

GG. That's what u get for not backing the way we've been playing . Up Da efn Wahs

[booboo]

20 nil in 2nd

[Billy Tell]

Can’t see how we can turn this around. Just not enough smarts and not enough good forward.

Foster will tell us about learnings and how they are excited about the next challenge.

[Donsteppa]

Another unwanted historical first in All Blacks rugby for Ian Foster.

20 years of Mr. Foster making a mess of teams I support. At least it draws to a close soon.

[Steve]

Looking forward to all the "learnings" and "I think we are tracking really well".

"im happy with what we did in that space".

Load of fucking bollox.

[No Quarter]

Beauden and Mo'unga both played well in the first half, but got completely shut down in the 2nd. France have been extremely disciplined, it's been an impressive 2nd half from them given the heat.

[KiwiMurph]

To be perfectly honest we deserve to get rolled in the quarters

Telea. Close thread.

[Victor Meldrew]

Fucking awful 40 minutes of rugby. BB was shit, tactics were shit, zero thinking.

The headless chicken has returned.

Never in their 22 bar the try.

[Gunner]

Shit discipline.
Shit ball handling.
Shit ball security at rucks.
Shit kicking.

A couple of nice tries but not a lot else to like unfortunately.

And that penalty on Jordan for taking the player out in the air, when he was the one taken out was absolute garbage.

[MN5]

Well done France.

[taniwharugby]

Discipline will go a long way to winning the RWC, we don't have it, French discipline and patience was excellent

[Paekakboyz]

ugh, that was a rough watch in the second half. France deserved the win.

[Joans Town Jones]

I said it in the first half. This is a rope-a-dope. Other than the first 10 mins, they just kicked the ball deep and the ABs said "maybe this time we'll get it back" or I'll run it from my own line". Time and time again. I can't wait for the presser. "In many ways this was our best test. Foster, just PHUCK OFF. NZRU, would Razor had done any worse? Phucking embarrassment.
