Barnes doesn't ref breakdown, scrum, tackle or ruck clearance law. He is an excellent linesmen though.

Brilliant. Thanks for the commentary

Cracking game. Don't like Barnes as ref. Eventually fell in with ABs instead of reffing the scrum.

New Zealand in possession deep in French territory with 2 minutes to go, this game is effectivly over.

New Zealand again soak up the French pressure, until Savea's hit turns the ball over. Ranger gets hands on ball and has a hugely physical run down the line. The ball reaches Cruden who makes a half break, when Vahaamahina holds on to the ball to concede a desperate penalty. Cruden converts to extend the lead.

Yes!

Get it All Blacks! Crack some skulls!

With 10 minutes to go France are pushing hard for a score, but the game has become disjointed, with too many stoppages disrupting the games flow. France currently in possession just inside their own half.

Guns don't kill people. Israel Dagg kills people.

More comments please. Go the AB's!!!
