That was my point, one team seems to be able to hold down a hellava lot longer than the other.
One team tackled a helleva lot stronger than the other.
Simple concept mate. PNG EARNED the right to hold down. France didn't.

Yeah, the team that WON.
How can France play the way some are asking when the ref refuses to speed it up, slowest play the balls ever.
You put a player on their back, you can hold them longer. PNG were far better in the wrestle than France. I don't think a PNG player was put on his back the entire game. And the ref was super lenient. Combine the two and it was always going to be lopsided.
Have to say I thought the ref was pretty lenient on PNG. Were pretty messy in and around the ruck.
They had they upper hand physically but the French adapted to the conditions better, worked their arses off in defence and just played smarter when it counted.
Of all the f**king games that my recorder didn't f**king work for. God damn it. I caught the last few minutes of it.
Don't suppose someone recorded it and is generous enough to send me a copy?
