ARGHHH!!! 6 in a row now!!!
Why is it that we can make a zillion line breaks, stay camped down in the opposition 20m and still not score ?! The Frogs did their homework and adopted a Springbok like up and in defensive pattern and it worked a treat for them as we were continually thwarted in our attempts to get any sort of momentum going.
This is it Eddie has got to go, not once did I think we could win this game, the French(missing several of their key players eg. Magne, Betsen) just owned us bad in every aspect.
The forwards are playing such a slow and out dated game and can't compete with the stuff NZ, SA and now France are dishing out. honourable mention goes to:
-Fatt Dunning has got to go a very average scrummager and he offers nothing in general play because he is too f*cking slow
-Brendan Cannon he did his absolute best to help us lose our own lineouts and did some great work dropping the ball 5m out from the Frogs try line
-Rocky Elsom this guy is failing miserably to be our Schalk Burger, Jerry Collins our "enforcer" gave away waayyy too many penalties
-Morgan Turinui you ain't a freaking props so stop attacking like one all he did was crash it up all day and then not release the ball
On the plus side a few of our younger plays looked good, like Johasson, Mitchell, and Mcmeinman and Greg Holmes impressed in his almighty one scrum with Dunning gone all of a sudden the scrum looked half decent!:shock: plus Tuqiri, Rogers, and Latham were their usual classy selves.
For the frogs I thought the youngster Yannick Nyugana was great a real star in the making, Michilak looked sharp in the 1st 40 and Elisaddle only reinforced the view in my mind he is the best scrummy in the world.(or at least the most well rounded scrummy)
