All Blacks v France 2025

[Linerunner2023]

ABs always seem start the season slowly
A game where if you didn’t see the scoreline could have thought they were up by 30 or more
3 disallowed tries and multiple times turning the ball over in the French 22

Savea was massive like always!
agree reiko seemed a little slow on the wing

seems the losses of tamati williams, and Sititi has hurt a little as well with ABs missing up to 11 potential squad members
Interesting to see if they start McKenzie next week with Jordan on the wing or bring in Clarke or Narawa

I predict a big improvement from the ABs next week and comfortable win

I think we can take it as read that ScoBar is going to miss at least T2:

"Robertson was asked about Barrett’s availability ahead of Saturday’s rematch after travelling to Wellington but said he wanted to wait until an official announcement had been made on Tuesday before commenting."

Given there's an Official Announcement in the offing you'd have to think it's a medium- to long-term injury.

@Linerunner2023 there's heavy rain & "fresh" northerlies forecast for Wellington on Saturday so could be an arm-wrestle rather than an AB blowout.
