Not just get out of the in-goal area and 22, but that pass!
That deserved a try.

I was scared of France before watching that game, but that performance has made you even more terrifying. Incredible display and a wonderful victory.

Re: Autumn matchs
A good test match, deservedly won by the better team. Previous All Black sides would have competed that 2nd half come back. This year’s lot appears to not have the determination, patience, leadership Or even the basic skill level to do so.
Well done France. First win v NZ in Paris since 1973!

Re: Autumn matchs
Just watched Italy squeak a win against Uruguay, making the case for demotion from the 6N. Look to have gone backwards this autumn on that showing.

France were fantastic.
There's going to be some crunch games this 6N.

Re: Autumn matchs
This game had it all...I think the french will have thé 62d minute deep marked in their mind...the moment when, as Galthie said : Romain and the other have said " stop, it' s enough" to the come back of the blacks...
This must be an internal resource for the future games when they will be in difficulty.
I think it must be one of the only time all three SH bigs have been beaten the same week-end ?

In English commentary, I think they said it last happened in 2002, which checks out with NZ sending a weaker side, South Africa being execrable at the time and Australia being just kinda there.tigran wrote: I think it must be one of the only time all three SH bigs have been beaten the same week-end ?

I mean, I'm happy with how we're progressing and we have got some very promising young players. But I'd still much rather be in your position, with your cadre of players. Your depth especially is enviable.tigran wrote:Puja wrote:I am not looking forward to playing you in Paris on the last weekend.

Yes, lots of prospect for england... And true, it"s been a long time since we haven't had so much strength in depth, and at fly half, I don't think we have ever had two great 10 like that in the same time..
And I must say Jaminet has really surprised me, some silly mistakes too, some weird kicking but he's a real great in the making

Re: Autumn matchs
The French have real depth at hooker too.
Julian Marchand seems to be first choice, then there's his Toulouse colleague Peato Mauvaka, who had a belter against NZ. There's the impressive Camille Chat, who'd walk into any other test team, and La Rochelle's Pierre Bougarit too.

In fact we have two teams of the same quality...

Re: Autumn matchs
Jaminet does look a bit special. A good all-rounder, very fast and a cool headed goal kicker. That French team has a really well-balanced look - big but athletic forwards and pacy backs with power in the midfield. Hard to believe that Ntamack is just 22 and Jalibert has just turned 23. The pair of them play like experienced veterans with tremendous self-confidence, no nerves and great flair.tigran wrote:Puja wrote:I mean, I'm happy with how we're progressing and we have got some very promising young players.
