France outwrestle All Blacks in titanic Test for one-point win

What a night. An amazing double header SA/England then NZ/France. A real feast of rugby. The AB/France game was probably a higher quality game and certainly more exciting in the last ten minutes although the Boks were defending a two score lead with 14 men and a tighthead playing loosehead. Somehow the energy had gone out of England legs. Then the second act of the thrilling play. I can tell our Kiwi enemies on the field mates off it that I have never heard a group of Saffas shout as loudly for the AB's as we all did. We all shouted noooooooooo when Scott chose three points with four minutes to play. The AB's are NEVER that charitable to the Boks. After the relief of seeing off a very much improved England. As midnight approached The party lost some momentum when the final whistle left another one point gap - this time to the wrong side. We don't mind beating the AB's by one point but we reserve that right and resent anyone else doing it. Similarly we don't like going down to the only other team that we believe has real bragging rights on the planet but if we have to go down we would rather it be to the AB because then at least we know we've been beaten by a proper team. But sorry Scott - that was a kak call and it spoilt our party.

Even a tier 2 rugby nation can throw better line outs than the Boks at the moment. It's been many games now that our line outs have become disastrous

'Who gives a crap?' Animosity towards the Springboks is proof of their dominance

That is why Rassie hired an ex ref to handle all those decisions. He made a point of getting on the right side of the refs. They don't fear a Rassie meltdown. That is just an excuse and click bait response.

All Blacks player ratings vs France | Autumn Nations Series

Jen, maintain your equanimity, it's not worth getting upset about. Ratings are valueless until both teams are rated by the same person and even then, they are as useless as tits on a bull.

I would say the Northern scribes we could not care a fart about but the Kiwi's are different, we care about them. Not the ones that write bitter comments (we have them here too), but the genuine Kiwi rugby lover is as a part of our DNA as a local supporter. We respect the Kiwi boys.

Why is everyone upset with ratings? They are just "fillers", lazy journalism. I enjoy the outrage in responses more. Most of these articles are written by the wives of the so-called journos while they are serving at Maccas.

I guess Finau's HIA means Lakai will start, with Kirifi finally getting his debut next week?

Thank goodness we have incredible loose-forward depth. How many have we lost to injury now? Five?

The knock-ons and missed tackles are out of character for the boks. Early in the game lots of mis-handles on passes and in the loose. This is really worrying as better teams will punish you. The lineouts are becoming a real issue for both Bongi and Marx - we really need to fix this. Having Eben and RG as jumpers should mean trick plays and timing calls are largely un-necessary

AB future will be much brighter when they find a Captain. Barrett is strategically bereft, has no influence with refs and since becoming Captain has had less influence as a lock.

France outwrestle All Blacks in titanic Test for one-point win

Close or not, 1 point or not, win is win. Certainly both teams played better than the Boks. Both teams can feel happy with their performances overall. Decision making from SB leaves a lot to be desired especially at the end. Going for a 3 pointer instead of for a try is just madness.

Razor need to read the game better. In a tight game like this, planned subs go out the window. Those not performing should be replaced, not those who plays very well. That made a big difference in the end. The coach is as much blamed for this loss as the captain's calls.

NZ loss was unlucky; Aus loss was more a deserved when by the Aussies. so 1-1-1 really in my view. Losing two key assistant coaches is not a good look though...

This guy gets it:

"I know that if we picked the same team from beginning ’til end, we would have been much smoother during the year. But we’re happy with the results."

There is different GOATS in rugby. Different times, different era's. Different rules, different players. Instead of THE GOAT, it should be ONE of the GOAT's of rugby. Lomu, Habana,Augustin Pichot etc. Just my personal opinion.
