Rugga WC France v All Blacks

France really sticking it to the All Blacks. Very impressed with the French team in general, their team chemistry is outstanding. Anyone think the NZ try in the second half should have been disallowed?
 
Great performance by France — totally dominated NZ in the second half. Not too sure how we gauge this game in terms of performances. Were NZ poor or caught off balance by the French tactics in the second half? Very impressed with several French players including Jaminet.
 
We are not very good atm, coach seems out of ideas (has since he took over) and no surprises that we got beat.

No fight, cohesion or fast ball. France we’re good, but can play better.
 
Didn't enjoy the game. I'm not enjoying much RU at the moment, not even including turgid England performances. Scrums take too long and are full of pernickity infringements, getting a penalty is now an art form that is too generously rewarded, competition for the high ball is now fraught with danger....

Didn't sleep well :eek:

I thought last night was a lot better for the relative lack of penalties and infringements - both teams and the referee (egotist that he is) seemed to want to keep the game moving.

The only downside for me was a couple of periods in the first half when the fullbacks / fly halves just kept kicking it the length of the field to each other for what seemed like 5 minutes
