    That was AB-esque. Try out of nowhere.

    Gibson Park shouldn’t have got sucked in. He gave away that try

    Poor defensive line again this week, you'd think France had the extra player

    Terrible. Its just typical. Look how hard we have to work, while the opposition offload, stroll it in. Joke at this stage

    Outrageous hands from the French, but that was far too soft.

    Exact same as their last game
    They soaked up Italian pressure and enthusiasm for 30 minutes before carving them open.

    No team should be losing a YC 0-7

    We need to score before halftime.

    Yes. Having more territory and possession. Need to put scores up!!

    Not an uncommon tactic to let your opisition blow their holes out the first 20-30 mins and attack hard like that then.

    Great try though, classic all blacks style.

    Easy to pin that on JGP but France’s skills with the ball allowed them to go through us like a knife through butter.

    Wonderful offloading.

    Shambolic defending by Lowe, Ruddock and then Gibson Park.

    Don't let that failed grubber through distract you from the fact that CJ just threw an offload.

    Absoltely, 4 off loads I think in the build up left us terribly exposed, easy blame the 9 but what was a 9 doing out there? France had us opened with offloads

    We're clunky in attack to use a Matt Williams phrase.

    I am glad Henderson is talking to the ref. He was too quiet.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    We're not much better in defence.
