I can't believe the last sequence, where a French guy bent over and rolled the ball back to his side when a ruck had been formed 5 metres out of the goalline, and then giving advantage for a knocked on ball that Mcallister took as a drop goal, only to decide that the advantage was over...WTF!<BR/>The sin bin play was totally ridiculous and the forward pass was as clear as it gets. It makes me sick to see the French win, especially against the All Blacks, a side capable of making 3 separate plays with more than 20 phases (that was awesome to watch!)<BR/><BR/>But I have to say that I believe that NZ needn't be in that position. I think they should have attacked from everywhere instead of playing "tactical/positional rugby". They are by far superior in every aspect of the game, and I think that just trying to kick the ball into the French territory instead of counterattacking was a big mistake.AnguilAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02730432663394921591noreply@blogger.com
