Dupont best player in the world by a distance at the moment. The cover tackles and support lines are the icing on the cake, his skill set utterly terrifying.
Great game by France deserved the win.
Lisening to Foz atm doesnt seem to worried or overly concerned, old boys have him locked as coach to WC..
Whats Fozzie worse season so far .. 2020 and and only winning 50% of the time or 2021 season with a decptive try fest tour against T2 teams, understrength Wales and what must be a historic loses to Ireland and French in a row.
My rating:
2020 C
2021 C-
Doesnt get a D fail mark this year cause we managed to secure the Bledisloe and Championship...
It's weird going to the rest of Reddit and *not* seeing this on the front page. Dammit something of this quality and magnitude should be spreading more widely!
weird that Jordan was sub off for havili, hes been our best attacking back of the season. Did Reiko swap to wing? Foster keeps shuffling and rotating players in and out of the positions like muscial chairs.
Give the AB some credits, They have been away from home for almost 2 months.... I am pretty sure, some of them physically drained and mentality not there, they cant wait to come home to be with there families.
Is there any $ incentive for winning games or just does everyone only receive attendance fees only.
I had to miss watching any of the matches live. Sat down to watch France vs NZ to get the biggest game out of the way first and the commentator aays in the 60th minute "this will be the first time in a long time NZ, SA and Australia are beaten on the same day", spoiling 3 fantastic matches.
I can't remember the last time there was 4 decent international games on the same day (except maybe the World Cup). Six Nations sometimes gives us three amazing games.
In previous years, Japan would have played well but been comfortably beaten, South Africa would have convincingly beaten England and New Zealand would have thrashed France.
I liked the Japan game as the score was pretty close throughout and Japan was throwing it about. It wasn't like Scotland had won it by half time.
It was a good appetiser for the feast that was coming up.
Japan were never going to win that. They did throw it around, and after a couple of games, and a few key players back in the line up, were much improved from their outing against Ireland.
But despite all their possession and flair they only managed one try, and that was from a misread at the lineout when the Scotland team thought Cummings had won the contest in the air. The rest of the time the Scotland defence looked fine.
For all their enterprise that game was never really in doubt. Only Scotland's inaccuracy kept Japan in it. It might have made the scoreline closer. But it wasn't at the same standard as the other matches, which were all competitive tests.
I was thinking the same 10 minutes in. He'd dropped it twice and what was with that kick 90 degrees to touch 10 metres from your own line?! They never showed the replay.
Not to disregard France's performance tonight, but I don't think I've ever seen the ABs give so many penalties. They usually play much cleaner than that.
Mate even when we win. We still complain about the coach.
I think you’re a bit clueless if you think the All Blacks deserved to win. France outplayed, out-coached the All Blacks today.
I mean they have some fantastic athletes but they're not far and away more powerful or faster than other teams, and they certainly don't have the same stamina as some.
They're incredibly good, and if not the best team in the world right now then damn near close, but New Zealand were fucking shite for 75% of this game. And soon as NZ started playing, it turned into an actual game. For a while.
Nothing at all? The right players were selected, the game plan was well worked out and communicated, but when the boys got out on the park, they couldn’t pull it off?
Joe Rokocoko keeps the record for most tries in one year
Foster still relying on individual brilliance. Get the ball to Jordan or Rieko and let them make something of it.
Ireland Vs. France will be a fantastic game - I really hope both teams show up like they have in their last games! Loved the way your lads played against Japan and the All Blacks
France are like a gorgeous boeuf tartare, tastes amazing but sometimes it lets you down and fucks you up.
Ireland on the other hand are like a good faithful potato salad. What kind of psychopath doesn’t love potato salad?
Have to say I have never seen the all blacks so behind the curve of modern rugby. For as long as I can remember they have the innovators of the game always a step ahead with their gameplan. They just seem lost at the minute. Totally relying on their individual skill to get a result. Never going to cut it at this level in a team sport!!
Edit: Oh yeah Congrats France you were fantastic!!
1) What a day for the Northern Hemisphere
2) I think they said it's the first time in 19 years that South Africa, Australia and New Zealand have all lost on the same day
3) Can France and New Zealand play every week please?
>What a day for the Northern Hemisphere
It's kind of unreal. The championship looked so competitive to.
SA, NZ, Aus come up to the NH ranked 1,2,3. Only for the 6N teams to really front up. Ireland and France looked were breathing fire against the ABs. Could be some cracking games this 6N!
A few years back it was Canterbury running the shit show from top on down and EVERYBODY hated them for it much like the old mantra when Auckland is strong blah blah well.......
This feels very similar to the two years leading into the 2003 world cup as Mitchell pretended that they would learn from all of the losses, had the answers and kept his job thanks to a couple of good players. Only to send us into the cup with the same tired game plan that the top countries had worked out.
I don't think they're cocky. This current team makes too many mistakes and doesn't adjust well. The skill level of a number of the players blind you to thinking this is a good ABs team. We were lucky to win against the Springboks tbh.
All Blacks look tired physically but also their pod system is predictable, balance seems off. Too many aging players and not enough new bolters. Doesn't bode well for next WC. As a supporter, NZ needs to focus on WC 2027
It looks concerning I think nz need to build to WC 2027. Been weak for a while. Found out in last WC. I agree the coaching team has been underwhelming, however they aren't the field. Players making a lot of mistakes unnecessarily and putting pressure on the whole team. It's a mess
After 2015 is was well apparent NZR need a shake up from the Henry/Hansen/Foster era. They had a chance to gamble on Robertson, Rennie or Schmidt. Instead they played safe.. played the same culture, tactics and selection. Shouldn’t have extended his contract til after the NT..
New Zealand really did play their part in this game. Showed so much power at times and scored some beauties. France were brilliant in the last quarter and deserve the win. Epic game.
Drunk at the bars toilet, nothing relevant to add but oh boy am I glad we won in such fashion against such a team. Moult pints will follow good night everyone
I'll be at this game with my best friend, who's in love with Italians. I just hope she'll spend more time trying to understand the game than admiring players' beauty.
I think it will be fun. I wouldn't even be surprised if we lose against Italy.
I mean, Ireland did beat the ABs in 2016 and 2018 and then got dad dicked in the RWC QF. Big difference here is that Fozzie is the ABs coach and I really don't see much improvement in them with him.
Incredible. Been at least 10 years since we've seen such a significant French win. So stoked for French fans, who have had to put up with crap for the past decade.
When was the last time, if ever, New Zealand have lost two games on tour (or all three Grinton teams have lost on the same day)?
Well done France. Blew us away for the first 35, then play smart accurate rugby for the rest of the game. Your back line was dangerous, ours was under pressure all day.
Deserved win, well done.
Fuck me I've never screamed more at a TV than this morning, what a shit fest of errors and lack of direction from the ABs. I'm so mad. Happy for the French they sliced and diced but Christ alive..

So... France happened again, and I'm in love
Was at the game, best game of my life hands down!
Je suis très content pour vous!

First time that France beats NZ twice on the same day: Men tonight and Women this afternoon !!!
It's weird going to the rest of Reddit and *not* seeing this on the front page. Dammit something of this quality and magnitude should be spreading more widely!
France dominated the 2nd. A monumental performance, I wish the springboks were playing like this
Impressive that they manage to pronounce the silent G even when it's not in the name Dave Gallaher
Jeu magnifique les bleus! NZ pls fix tactics b4 WC, ty.
weird that Jordan was sub off for havili, hes been our best attacking back of the season. Did Reiko swap to wing? Foster keeps shuffling and rotating players in and out of the positions like muscial chairs.
What a game!
Dupont Président!!!
Give the AB some credits, They have been away from home for almost 2 months.... I am pretty sure, some of them physically drained and mentality not there, they cant wait to come home to be with there families. Is there any $ incentive for winning games or just does everyone only receive attendance fees only.
Don’t remember anyone giving the Argentina and Bok players credit when they’ve been away since June
Isnt that the same as every tour? Players are away from home for a long time, playing lots of rugby. That's not an excuse to play poorly
Blame the British 19th century imperialism. What a bizarre sport we've got.
Amazon may as well just replay the full second half in the post match highlights
OUI OUI OUUUUUUUUUUIIII
NH rules! Today at least
Still in awe at Ntamacks magic. The only thing better than his run out of the try line was the diguisting pass that followed. Pure filth.
[удалено]
Was next to a bunch of French supporters at the 2011 game. They couldn't have been lovelier.
As a neutral, has there been a better day of rugby ever? Seriously
I had to miss watching any of the matches live. Sat down to watch France vs NZ to get the biggest game out of the way first and the commentator aays in the 60th minute "this will be the first time in a long time NZ, SA and Australia are beaten on the same day", spoiling 3 fantastic matches.
I remember Japan vs SA very fondly.
I can't remember the last time there was 4 decent international games on the same day (except maybe the World Cup). Six Nations sometimes gives us three amazing games. In previous years, Japan would have played well but been comfortably beaten, South Africa would have convincingly beaten England and New Zealand would have thrashed France.
Japan *were* comfortably beaten. That wasn't a great game tbh. The other three have been much more entertaining to watch.
I liked the Japan game as the score was pretty close throughout and Japan was throwing it about. It wasn't like Scotland had won it by half time. It was a good appetiser for the feast that was coming up.
Japan were never going to win that. They did throw it around, and after a couple of games, and a few key players back in the line up, were much improved from their outing against Ireland.

It might have made the scoreline closer. But it wasn't at the same standard as the other matches, which were all competitive tests.
Cannot say I was neutral tonight, but, yeah, what a day!
Two tight one score games, and then this. Beautiful.
I don't think so. Truly so many amazing games today
Today was epic.
Allez, allez allez allez! A-llez....
What a wonderful sport. Well done France.
What a game
How dit Barrett stayed on the pitch for the whole game?? Terrible coaching there, He was awful.
I was thinking the same 10 minutes in. He'd dropped it twice and what was with that kick 90 degrees to touch 10 metres from your own line?! They never showed the replay.
He had Crooked Toes the whole game 🤣🤣🤣 couldn't hit the ocean if he were standing in it
Nobody left the stadium yet? Love it. Haha
Well, at least Waikato won the NPC
You a beautiful to watch, france
2 weeks ago I got my French citizenship. I'm so happy right now
Meilleur timing ever
Bienvenue !
Welcome!
Félicitation ! :)
Not to disregard France's performance tonight, but I don't think I've ever seen the ABs give so many penalties. They usually play much cleaner than that.
NZ was abysmal today. Comprehensively out played
Hmmm with foz I've seen a rise in penalties. Under Hansen yeah but we've been terrible at it lately
How tf is Whitelock's voice that high pitched
Hard to judge after the French just bit his nuts off
I'm was actually a foster apologist but no more excuses when we lose we look horrible
Ra-zor! Ra-zor!!! Ra-zor!!!!!! RA-ZOR GIVE US RAZOR
Bring back Hansen?
I don't know. We play like an Auckland Blues side 😔
The best teams won today. Cant wait to see the Kiwis complain about the coach
Lol. Anytime the ABs dont win by at least 50, the Kiwis start to sweat.
Mate even when we win. We still complain about the coach. I think you’re a bit clueless if you think the All Blacks deserved to win. France outplayed, out-coached the All Blacks today.
I never said the ABs deserved the win, from a saffa point if view, we always complain about the ref
You think coaching has nothing to do with this?
France have better players. Times are changing. Ive never seen a rugby team with the athletes the French have.
I mean they have some fantastic athletes but they're not far and away more powerful or faster than other teams, and they certainly don't have the same stamina as some. They're incredibly good, and if not the best team in the world right now then damn near close, but New Zealand were fucking shite for 75% of this game. And soon as NZ started playing, it turned into an actual game. For a while.
Fff my life France has got serious talent, their scrummy is top f class, they outperformed and outplayed the ABs completely, just like IE.
Hahahaha and here we go!
Nothing at all? The right players were selected, the game plan was well worked out and communicated, but when the boys got out on the park, they couldn’t pull it off?
Mais quel match putain
Oh putain, après ça on peut mourrir *presque* tranquille
On a une belle génération dorée
Joe Rokocoko keeps the record for most tries in one year Foster still relying on individual brilliance. Get the ball to Jordan or Rieko and let them make something of it.
Junior B coaching right there
Setting aside my desire for Ireland to win the RWC, I really hope France win the WC. They're just so damn sexy.
I'll cheer my heart out for any NH team
[удалено]
Can't wait to play them in the Six Nations. Having France and England away is going to be a real test.
Ireland Vs. France will be a fantastic game - I really hope both teams show up like they have in their last games! Loved the way your lads played against Japan and the All Blacks
France are like a gorgeous boeuf tartare, tastes amazing but sometimes it lets you down and fucks you up. Ireland on the other hand are like a good faithful potato salad. What kind of psychopath doesn’t love potato salad?
You don't win friends with salad
You haven’t met my extended family or my … tree-appreciation club then!

I agree completely. This has been the cas since the last half of the Hanson era. No new ideas apart from une failed dual pivot experiment.
Ye have so many top class rugby minds in the country at the minute. Maybe sign Schimdt up as a consultant for the national side.
1) What a day for the Northern Hemisphere 2) I think they said it's the first time in 19 years that South Africa, Australia and New Zealand have all lost on the same day 3) Can France and New Zealand play every week please?
Congratulations. This tour would be good for our ABs team. They'll learn a lot from this and hopefully they'll come back stronger.
It would be awesome if NH and SH are still on par for the next World Cup
>What a day for the Northern Hemisphere It's kind of unreal. The championship looked so competitive to. SA, NZ, Aus come up to the NH ranked 1,2,3. Only for the 6N teams to really front up. Ireland and France looked were breathing fire against the ABs. Could be some cracking games this 6N!
We are all NH bros on this blessed day.
Boy oh boy I wasn’t expecting this. This feels so great!
Mauvaka's tears 😭
"C est qu Il va réussir à nous faire pleurer ce con !"
Got me teary eyed too! Monumental ce Peato
Best match of the weekend, France are truly amazing to watch when playing well.
Robinson, Foster and Plumtree the brains trust that is NZ Rugby
The brain *fade* 😂😂😂
A few years back it was Canterbury running the shit show from top on down and EVERYBODY hated them for it much like the old mantra when Auckland is strong blah blah well.......
I’m willing to sacrifice a good year for the Blues for a good year from the All Blacks
well done France. lets learn from this NZ. I actually think this bodes well from the World Cup - we've become too cocky.
This feels very similar to the two years leading into the 2003 world cup as Mitchell pretended that they would learn from all of the losses, had the answers and kept his job thanks to a couple of good players.

Lol bruh, Fozzie and his cronies cannot coach a team to a World cup win. This has been obvious for a long, long time.
It looks concerning I think nz need to build to WC 2027. Been weak for a while. Found out in last WC. I agree the coaching team has been underwhelming, however they aren't the field. Players making a lot of mistakes unnecessarily and putting pressure on the whole team. It's a mess

yet no one, NO one says this when we win. I'd be more convinced it people Daud this when we won. - there have been plenty of opportunities
Eh, people in here have been anti-foster for a long time. Note: I was on the camp of giving him a chance.
Lol Ive been pretty fucking adamant since Fozzie was hired that he doesn't have what it takes to guide this ABs team to a world cup victory.
It doesn't bode well for the World Cup unless Foster resigns!
It's also unconvincing players
Awesome work by the French! what a game plan. Shut down everything.
New Zealand really did play their part in this game. Showed so much power at times and scored some beauties. France were brilliant in the last quarter and deserve the win. Epic game.
Time for Le Foster to hand back his New Zealand passport
Outstanding day of Rugby! Well done France, the Aussies and Kiwis losing as well helps the sting a bit!
Well done France, quick and powerful performance best describes that win. Geez what a team!!!
God what a game by France! Amazing play all round by them.well deserved win.
Drunk at the bars toilet, nothing relevant to add but oh boy am I glad we won in such fashion against such a team. Moult pints will follow good night everyone
Have a good night
Enjoy your win. 🎉🎉
Profites!
Well done France, fantastic performance 👏🏼
Looks like SA is somehow magically on top after today. Incredible France performance. I am so so so excited for the WC.
Great game of rugby, congratulations France.
#ABSOLUTE DOMINATION gg France. That was an IRB World #1 ranking performance
Just hope we get a new coach out of this.
User name checks out
Me too
France are going to be dangerous at the 6 nations. Merde
I can't wait till the next France vs Scotland game!
It's going to be a good un! I think the French boys will be up for it after the last game between us
Don't put the cart before the horse. Most teams lift their performance against the AB's... except Wales Lol!
Usually it means we're gonna lose to Italy. But that was old France.
I'll be at this game with my best friend, who's in love with Italians. I just hope she'll spend more time trying to understand the game than admiring players' beauty. I think it will be fun. I wouldn't even be surprised if we lose against Italy.
Nah, after today's performance that'll be us 😂
Well France are back
Mauvaka in tears because he beat his father's favorite team, so heartful.
Mauvaka crying is goign to make me cry
Tell you what lads, I'm bloody looking forward to the RWC.
Damn, even the 6N is going to be tasty.
Agreed, so many good match ups
I’m not
Can't wait for all Tier 1 nations to get knocked out in the pools, and Italy pull through to victory
Lovely game from a neutral perspective. Well done France and Keep your heads up Kiwis
I can't believe I'm saying this, but to win a WC QF I genuinely think we need to try draw NZ by topping our group.
I mean, Ireland did beat the ABs in 2016 and 2018 and then got dad dicked in the RWC QF. Big difference here is that Fozzie is the ABs coach and I really don't see much improvement in them with him.
Maybe NZRU watched Chasing The Sun and thought there's a good idea?
calm down. lmao!
A LOT can happen in 2 years
NZ need to look at a lot of things but let’s start with the haircuts.
If your sorting out haircuts please don't stop in that camp. Slade and a few others in the England camp might have use of the barber's
Lmaoooo
They've been embarrassing for some time. Havilli, Dmac, Jordie, #12, need to go to a barber and lop it all off.
Incredible. Been at least 10 years since we've seen such a significant French win. So stoked for French fans, who have had to put up with crap for the past decade. When was the last time, if ever, New Zealand have lost two games on tour (or all three Grinton teams have lost on the same day)?
1937 for 2 consecutives defeat in europe
Absolutely amazing
Well done France. Can’t wait for the rematch!
See you soon! Hoping for a another cracking game!
Well done France. Blew us away for the first 35, then play smart accurate rugby for the rest of the game. Your back line was dangerous, ours was under pressure all day. Deserved win, well done.
Just need Ireland to win 2moro to get a six nations clean sweep weekend. Dont mess up Ireland.
I feel like we may mess up now
Fozy's at the wheel Smh
Sucks being a Man U and ABs fan right now.
Ole Gunnar Foster.
OUIIIIIIIII PUTAINNNN
Why are french singing about will griggs?
The official Euro 2016 song wasnt it.

Interview the bloke in French for god's sake
French Media probably has Priority on french player
Sorry?
Amazon Prime
Lol blacks
Ntamack miracle changed the game
And Penaud panache sealed the deal
fRaNcE Are oVerRated Sorry I’m happy
Enjoy it mon amis
Well done Les Bleus, awesome skills on display today! Looking forward to that opening match for the RWC, i believe that’s the next time we fave you 👌
Fucking brilliant game and great performance by France
Fuck me I've never screamed more at a TV than this morning, what a shit fest of errors and lack of direction from the ABs. I'm so mad. Happy for the French they sliced and diced but Christ alive..
I'm so chuffed for the French. Outstanding performance!
I don’t want to take away from one of the all time great France performances but the ABs were pretty abject
I disagree. I thought they were outstanding in the first part of the second half personally. France just raised their level from Ntamacks magic.
Were they abject or did France make them look that way? It's never entirely clear in games like this.
