A seriously unimpressive performance by both teams -- lots of brainless play and silly errors

You've forgotten the game just two weeks ago, then.

Only Kiwi forward genuinely worth the shirt tonight, I think
Bit harsh on Sam Whitelock.

He was absolutely anonymous. Barely made a tackle, barely made a carry.

That shouldn't be a penalty. French player runs a blocking line.and knocks him off his feet.

Interesting that NZ's attempts to win this game are based on the England tactic of kicking it high to contest it while at the same time being dangerously shit at contesting the high ball

The officials' kit is bothering me. It's got a weird 90s vibe to it.

One dimensional attack from the ABs with one of two options being used. Carry it or a kick from Beauden.

Very clear to see Schmidt's influence on this All Black side. Originally under Foster they were shit because they kept trying to razzle dazzle without having any kind of platform. Now they're really fucking negative instead. Progress!

Superb play by Mauvaka. He's understood that Peyper hasn't a f**king clue.

Thing is, this is what this French team do that others in the past haven’t, win when emotional and not playing well

Too many penalties. Can win when you're playing the wrong part of the field in these conditions. Ah well, better not stuff it up against Italy.

Well, whatever else, we can conclude neither of these sides is getting close to SA or Ire.

And PS Galthie: see what an impact Vincent has made. Send Moefana back to the Federales where he belongs.
