Nope. Very hot.

 

Ramos lethal with the boot lately

 

NZ not committing to the breakdown....

 

You can see Joe Schmidt’s hands all over NZ. They’re just kicking everything

if they do that when the game opens up, France will kill them

 

South African ref giving All Blacks some dubious calls here

 

think the ref is doing ok
All fair calls so far

both teams nervous

 

This ref dlosent like the players taking the knee

 

What a kick !!

 

NZ loosehead under huge pressure

 

Kicking tennis.

 

The heat deffo a part of that

 

Cagey and enthralling half, All Blacks looking more dangerous with ball in hand. Don't think France have played that well, so will be happy not to be behind. Ref is getting involved too much and slowing things down imo

 

Good French last ditch defence. All Blacks squandering chances in French 22.

 

Bit scrappy 1st half....NZ seem to be kicking a lot more than in past games.... trying to force a French error and France haven't got going yet.....

Hope for improvement in 2nd half....

 

Always a poor referee him.
All Blacks look far more dangerous imo.
France disappointing so far.
The French are bound to up things first part of the 2nd half.
Could get picked off if they're not careful.

 

Poor half. NZ much more dangerous.

 

All Blacks seem to want France to run at them.

 

Trying to tire them out.
This French team is different

NZ playing with no creativity. Just kicking the leather off the ball. Don’t rate them at all

 

Big error from France straight from kick off, big chance gone

 

All Blacks try from nothing. Same as 1st half. French half asleep there
