What were the initial reactions to the All Blacks vs France match?
welcome everyone if you're watching us live this is the mix zone and what's going to happen here is in about six or seven minutes so we're told uh the players are going to come by i don't know they'll come and stand exactly here right here right where we are standing right now and we're just in we're about two rows back from the field of play itself um we've just had the all black coaching and french coaching staff and
non-playing squad members just walked past us before. The referees came past. I said thanks to them.
And so these guys will be here and we'll ask questions. We've got our other friends from the media who are here and they're going to ask questions as well. And what we're going to do is ask them if it's okay when they ask a question if we point the microphone towards them just so that we can get our sound as best we can. Okay, this is simple now. All I want is a yes or a no, okay? And there are going to be questions here that you're probably going to want to say, oh, I want to answer, but we'll delve into those in a bit more time. 34-32, did the All Blacks deserve that result? Yes. Did the All Blacks play well? Yes. Did the All Blacks play great?
No.
Did the French play great?
No. No.
Yes or no, no wavering. Is five tries conceded by the All Blacks too many tries to concede?
Yes, absolutely.
Would you then say that in this particular test match, defence is an issue?
Yes.
Did Ruben Love prove himself in the number 10 role?
No.
I won't argue with that straight away, I'd say yes. Well we can argue about that. Did the All Blacks' forward pack dominate the French?
No.
Was the sustained level of physicality and commitment from the French as you expected it would be?
Yes.
And finally, was that a better All Black side than we saw in the first test last year when we played the French? Yes. All right. So let's go through it. And again, people, if you are joining us here, are we moving, are we? The TV's going to be over there for the mix zone.
In that case, we can stay here?
Are they just going to... I think we should probably move down here.
We'll probably have to move here. This is the nature of the business.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So bear with us. We're rolling live at the moment, so this is how we go. Right. So we keep going. Oh, okay, that's just the light fell off there. I don't think it broke.
It's all good.
So while we're still going here, 19-13 to the All Blacks at halftime, 34-32 the win. So that means the French won the second half 19-15.
Did the All Blacks deserve their 34-32 win over France?
To me this felt quite a lot like watching Argentina versus Cabo Verde in the World Cup football today. Argentina were the favourites. And even though the All Blacks were behind, once they got in front, Jamie, I thought that what they did was they always looked as though they were going to stay in front, but the French just never went away. I think it was five lead changes after 55 minutes, 56 minutes.
It all pointed to it being a great game to watch. If you're a neutral, love to hear from you, like exactly what you thought of that, because it was definitely one of those games where, as an All Black fan, I think you were sort of just maybe hiding your face a little bit, just hoping for them to put the game away. And it kind of looked like they had when they manufactured that penalty, that late penalty with Paul Jordan's second try.
But the French came back again. That's right. And as I said, they just wouldn't go away, would they? So overall, I thought that when we got it right, we looked as though we really got it right. Like the All Blacks scored five tries. They were really five really good tries. But, and the big but is that we conceded five tries. So obviously they're not going to be very happy about that.
Let's start with the positive. I think that the five tries that the All Blacks scored were stunning, and there was a lot of questions about the All Blacks' attack last year, their inability to sort of do something special when they felt like it.
Good point.
And that that's the hallmark of the All Blacks when they are on top. But I think the biggest point we're going to be taking out of this is defence, because that is a record for the amount of points conceded by the All Blacks in the first test of a season.
