French are playing well and have dominated possession and territory. ABs ahead, taking advantage of opportunities .

French line outs have been a problem.

SBW played a key role in that try, could de Allende have done that?

Hi Pakie, yeah those who doubted this AB team sure showed what they know. Hansen shows his brilliance again.

French played very well in the first half but wheels came off in the second half. ABs may have made adjustments at half time.

Scott Barrett and Todd had outstanding games. I will be interested to see the ratings of the new guys. Goodhue seemed to have a quiet debut.

Hey guys !
Commiserations France and well done all the young guns ! They slowly boiled some Frogs in the first half then poured on the heat in the second .
Does that Keocaine halfwit still reckon the ABs are easybeats ?
Dont know about you JW but I was really happy with the ABs discipline which was what has been making life hard for themselves of late.

True Wardad, discipline was better. Great to see new guys being integrated into the team also. What about Barrett's performance at lock? He was huge, gives the Bok locks something to aspire to wouldn't you say?
Congrats to the French on a putting out max effort, especially in the first half. They had me worried for a while.

True JW Barrett was immense ,wee Mikey still doesnt get that we dont want our players especially forwards to be as one dimensional as other teams are.
Parity or better at the set-piece and passing /catching/kicking skills on a par with other nations backs thats what we want from the big chaps .

Tackling ABs 142 21 misses. French 111 tackles 23 misses
Penalties 10 for ABs 7 for French.
Abs were much more disciplined that they were at the end of last season.
