@@jonathonmerson93 pour nous les français, les all blacks ont toujours été les meilleurs, nous avons un immense respect pour vous ! Le Haka ❤❤❤❤❤ merci, tellement beau !!!!🇨🇵🇳🇿
Kudos to the French people for the love and respect. The Rugby World needs to take a example of French rugby and the fans. Way to go guys. Merci. Waiting to meet up in July 2025.
Mostly the football world needs to take an example! I am French and a rugby fan thanks to my father, a former rugby player. I am very proud of the behaviour of my fellow citizens who welcomed the ABs with respect. Wonderful lighting of Stade de France. 👍👍
7.3 M, with a peak at 8.3 M...These are excellent numbers, can only be topped by top soccer competition. When there's an ABs-France game, in France, everyone salivates 😄
@@gandigooglegandigoogle7202 expect nothing less from our ABs maan, rugby royalty even though we lost, all and all was a great evening for rugby itself.....
At the end of this hell of a game, I loved the level of respect from both teams: ABs and french casually chatting together like old buddies, the AB team doing a tour of the stadium to praise the crowd despite having lost, … It’s sportsmanship at his best !
I'm French, I like rugby, I like our team and I like the All Blacks. So long live New Zealand, long live France! Long live our two teams and long live rugby
Je suis français et j'ai beaucoup aimé le Kapa o Pango des All Blacks. Un des plus beaux hakka que j'ai vu. Quand je vois le respect du public français, je me dis que je suis fière d'être français. Affronter les All Blacks, reste un grand spectacle de titans entre 2 grandes nations, même si la défaite de 2011 est restée au fond de la gorge.
All matches between AB and Fr are special in intensity, intention and will to move forward by playing rugby with nobility and elegance but, this one was crossed by strange vibrations of happiness and excitement. A special moment of communion between two magnificent teams. Only one regret, a rugby match lasts only 80 minutes.... Saint Rugby pray for us happy spectators 🙂
Bonjour de France 😊 les All Blacks sont une Équipe magnifique, de grand talent , je vous adore. Très beau Match nos bleus ont été super il fallait ça face à une magnifique Équipe des Blacks. 👍
Yeah about 10% of French population watched the game, that should tell you whether that game mattered for the French. I loved how the French fixed their problems in second period. I previously thought that LBB was disappearing in big games but no longer, he was brilliant. They were disappointed by their 2023 world cup and their 2024 6 nations performance and I think they are gonna have big ambition for 6 nations 2025. They will go play in Ireland and England and I think those games could really be amazing.
Frenchy here , the French team were up for this and it started before the game - an acapella national anthem sung by 80000 , the light show and respect for the Haka. The ABs won the battle for the first half but DIDNT kill off the game. And the French bench and backs proved the difference. Meafu was a one man wrecking crew on offense and defense. Ramos inspired and a Dupont whose generalship in the second half broke the ABs resolve. And this was without Penaud , his replacement and some forced changes going into last 20. Hooker playing open side flanker, Dupont playing at 10. And losing the prop after 9 minutes . 2027 is shaping up to be a 3 man race - between South Africa , ABs and France. The Irish have (for the moment) dropped off and their supply line drying up , England need to decide what type of Rugby they want to play and the others having holes in their 15. Argentina, possibly being the dark horse with a rejuvenated Australia under Schmidt. Easily the best game of Rugby of ‘24 !
@@petes9524 I'm French and I personaly like the Boks, the most innovative team of recent years, and the most complete; capable of playing hard forward oriented rugby and also expensive attacking game. Some Saffa fans can be a real pain in the arse though...
@@petes9524 I think it's more like a cultural thing in France. We like pretty things like fashion, architecture, fine foods,... so we respect ABs because they are the representatives of beautiful play in the world of rugby
@MU-TH-UR great stuff. I would point out though that no French team or player has ever been booed and heckled by 60000 fans at a South African ground at any test match. So much for arses.
@Creative_Dimensions738 your anthem hardly represents the finer things in life.." blood of our enemies etc,etc. The South African anthem on the other hand, really humble, gentle, and positive, like the Boks as human beings, before and after another brutal, intelligent, tactical, victory on the field of battle.😉🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆🔥
I was in Stade de France yesterday and I totally loved the show from anthems to haka till both team going their round of the park with many fans still standing to thank them all. Magnifique game
What a great team you NZ are building ! Waw ! We will have serious games in the next years. Just salivating to watch them ! From a French rugby fan in love with both teams
This game reminds me the quarter of finale against the south africans last year … but with a reversed result. A big domination during one half but not rewarded. Sad for the AB that have missed one or two offloads which should have led to a clean win. Our frenchies won because they succeeded to adapt their strategy and fix their issues in the middle of the game. This is outstanding. Thank you for the analysis and yes the winner is rugby !
France are classy hosts even though they made a hash of our predictions, truly, I really thought the AB's were building towards a statement game, however, it wasn't to be and chops to this French side for reeling the game in. When the AB's midfield combinations have finally been sorted the future is bright.
Rugby, sportsmanship and love for your fellow man. Well done AB's and France. It was one of the greatest matches, never mind the numerous mistakes that New Zealand made.
Congratulations to France a team that continues to have our number and more consistent in their play. I really like that young winger of theirs and looking forward to his development and Vive le France that continue to make moments spectacular epcecially the build up anthems, and the lighting and French Fans spectacular during the haka! WOW! These games will always be "who turns up in the day". I agree Mark the midfield, especially 12, needs addressing and I see many benefits for Reiko returning to the wing. Liked Ardie back on the side and the loose forward trio being more open and on the ball at the breakdowns and not so tight. Will Jordan made a couple of errors especially the missed pass to Clarke, Ardie on the inside, that had him in the air and ineffective. More good things to come from it like cohesion, and more clinical, I feel Razor is learning more about timing reserves and wish he shifted Damon to first receiver, Tamaiti is turning into a Beast. Lastly, Scott may need to rethink times to keep pressure on at times for the high risk and high reward as we do not have a good return rate after half-way kick-offs after a penalty. Roigard has confidence, aggression, snappy-pass from the base, and when its congested goes in with urgency to get it and distribute quickly.
As a Frenchman I am a great admirer of the all blacks. The greatest teams in the history of rugby. it's by the blacks that France was built for the greater glory of rugby in victory and defeat. For us, every match against the All Blacks is a final. You help us surpass ourselves... Thanks to this great Haka team. You will forever be in our hearts...
From a french perspective i appreciate the objective criticism brought in this video. Analysis on point for both team, no useless blame put on the referee.
What a great game and what a spectacular show beforehand. Two great teams going hammer and tongs at each other. Would like to know your thoughts Mark on whether the AB's should have kicked for touch near the end instead of kicking for goal. I was scratching my head on that one. However on this occasion you have to say hard luck AB's and Vive la France! Definitely the best game of the Autumn Series if not the best game so far in 2024.
It's easy to say, after the game, that AB's should have chosen the lineout instead of the penalty kick. But at this moment, it was a difficult decision to take, since the physical domination of the AB's was no more as blatant as during the first half of the game.
@vladtheinhaler6579 I mentioned it in the video. I thought the AB´s made the right call on taking the points. There was enough time still in the game in my opinion to still win it.
Excellent analysis, Mark, in line with your high standards, and very graceful to the French I must say. I was very much impressed by the AB backrow's speed and intensity, and by Cam Roigard all-round play. I think at the end of the day the ABs were let down by some tactical naivety and suspect decision making at critical times.
🎯 Great wrap once again. Also enjoyed the game and was really happy with NZ performance despite the loss. And yes, 12 and 13 remains NZs issues. Has been since 2016. Possibly fainganuku returning from Toulon will provide some oomph, but there's plenty of talent in nz who deserve a shot. I've been on about giving Reece more opportunities, but must admit he's been exposed a lot this season. Hoping this is France prepping well for 6N next year. They've got a great team/squad and should be winning more often
Another French here just to say thank u Mark for your great review, and thank u to the AB , always an honor to receive you guys, lots of respect. Definitely best game of the autumn season, very close in the end could have been either team to win. Maybe the French so under in the first half recovered and had much more steam and will in the end. The AB dominated the scrums, the lineouts, and possession, and despite the stats F came through. Rugby 🏉 is amazing
NZ started well but then fell off. Sivu probably played his last AB's game - Reckon there's probably a few props who'll beat him in a sprint. D'mac actually looked good when he came on. Cam Roigard is a gem of a player and he reminds me of Byron Kelleher. Good game from both teams, not the result I wanted but the AB's are building nicely.
Great experience for the youngsters and newbies you learn more from a loss and the positive is we could have won that game ,we still need to play for 80 but that will come
Outstanding pre match with the ligthts, the a cappella Marseillaise by the whole stadium and the Haka in the middle of the solent crowd. France vs New Zealand games are often among the greatest Rugby can produce. And this one is definitely one if the best. Best game of the week-end for sure, probably the best of the whole autumn series. The result could really have been the other way. The AB may wonder how they have lost it being so dominant and powerful all along. The French were clinical transforming lead in gold thanks to a huge sometimes desperado-like defence, Ramos vista and Bielle-Biarrey roadrunner speed. Maybe after 2 early in the games easy tries the AB were too confident. But the French regrouped, rallied and scored a beautiful try by Buros for his debut after a big work by their forwards. The end of the game was a showdown between Ramos and MacKenzie. In my opinion, the turning point at the end was the replacement of Roigard who was excellent so far. His successor making 2 or 3 blunders in a row. The last 5 minutes the French at last were successful maintaining the AB in their own half harassing the ball carrier, avoiding to be penalized or a drop goal threat. It reminded me the end of the WC quarter in 2007, a sad date for NZ. Again a great 2024 game, congrats to both teams and your fine and balanced comments. The major difference with the France-South Africa RWC game lost by 1 point you are mentioning is that there was not so blatant referring mistakes last Saturday. Next June in NZ I am sure the AB will be able to reverse the outcome. The French team will be very different as the major players will stay in France busy with the last phases of the Top14championship.
Excellent game, at a high intensity. AB's midfield is a major concern. Should be blooding new talent at the minute, as the current centre pairing will not be there in 2027. Awesome match. Rugby was a winner on the day.
Bonjour tous, je suis Français et fou de ce jeu merveilleux de Rugby. Mais plus encore des matchs AB/FR. Le plus beau respect pour le haka que j'ai vu était pour ce dernier match. J. Rokocoko, qui joue en France, a dit dans une interview que les joueurs NZ aiment lorsque l'adversaire défie le haka car cela montre qu'il lui accorde du respect et donne encore plus d'importance a l'enjeu. J'ai aussi été touché par une députée qui a fait un haka (au parlement je crois?) en signe de protestation dernièrement ; C'était très très impressionnant. Bref pour finir, il y a un (vieux^^) dicton en France dans le milieu du rugby qui dit : Les AB sont invincibles, mais parfois, seulement parfois, on arrive à les battre. Comme les brésiliens dans le foot, la NZ n'a pas inventé ce sport mais elle l'a sublimé. Vivement juillet !
@musiklab7054 Merveilleux partage, merci beaucoup de partager cela avec nous tous. Je vous remercie également pour le soutien sur la chaîne. Continuez à aimer votre rugby.
Yes, congratulations France from this Kiwi, as you said Mark, rugby was the winner, what a fantastic advertisement for the game played at a superb level. And 8 million viewers! The next WC is going to be huge! As for the last opportunity in the game for the ABs why take 3 points at the death? The ABs of previous generations would have taken the lineout (and the risk) and gone for a try. We’ll never know now and that’s rugby. As for the French, definitely number 2 , and like South Africa, have tremendous depth. They say this wasn’t even their best possible team because of injuries etc . I don’t think the ABs who weren’t available would have made a difference. But the ABs are also building and the coaches would have learned a lot from the tour. Mark, you are bang on regarding our centres. All three big games showed our weakness there. If Reiko can’t pass, put him on the wing! Jordie takes it to the line but is often one out and where’s Reiko? They just don’t seem to work as a pairing. I just hope that France bring their A team to NZ, but they probably won’t because of the demands of their domestic competition, more’s the pity because we would get a better idea of how the ABs are developing.
Hopefully the B side that will be sent this summer would be highly competitive. In the past FRA B sides were rubish with disinterested players, Since the Galhié Era they are used as development team for the Future, seriously coached. See The Australian tour a few years ago when we were close to win the series. See this summer tour in Argentina when our B/C side demolished the Argies in the first match (we lost the second partly because of the bad events that shook the team).
Sorry, 15 Perofetta, 14 Jordan. I think Razor made a mistake with Reece. Because he only chose 3 wings and 3 fullbacks, allowing for Jordan as cover, we were exposed. Razor also should have been using the new players off the bench, throughout the year, so they had experience and could drop in if someone lost form or was injured. It was too late to put in a new center or 12 with no-one having played there. Taking Havilli also cost us since he showed he just wasn't up to it. Plenty of midfielders he could have chosen. Bailey Sullivan, Riley Higgins, A J Lam. Lam is a straight swap for ALB. Plays wing, centre, and 12. Same with Bailey Sullivan.
We admire the Haka, and the all blaks considered as the most prestigious team in the world. That's why they are always wellcomed and why our rugbymen always give their best against them.
French Here, if you'd put Ioane back on the wing (and i agree Ioane and Clarke would be a tremendeous pair) who would be the option at 13? I do think both sides have got a lot of positives out of this game. From 1 to 8 NZ have a very impressive pack. NZ's scrum must be one of the best in the World Right now alongside RSA. For us Buros and Boudehent are the good surprises. We need a solid 15 (specially under high balls) as a replacement for Ramos. Jaminet being definitely out of the Blue Jersey (and deservedly so) and Barré not quite the real deal yet. Anyway, Great games as usual with those 2 teams, Huge respect as ever for the AB's. Cheers!
@@rodcarlson9505 the coaches don't seem to play Auckland players?? B Barrett, Clarke, Ioane, Tu’ungafasi and Tuipulotu all play for Auckland (and Tele’a would have been in there if not injured)...
Was a great game to watch, was to many officials which doesn't help our game management we work hard to play at pace and penalties give our opponents the rest that keeps them in the game. Top 5 teams the margins are so fine, and we not far off winning these close games. We missed Sam cane's experience I think we should of gone for the corner more. I think Jordys our best 12 but we need a change at 13, and Sevu not up to test level anymore. Our pack will be the best in the world soon, power scrum, excellent lineout, and goaline D is the best. We do have Moanga, Frizell, and Fianuku coming back which will help Lester being a good option at 13. I like what Razors trying to do if we can convert it to points more often we will bury teams with scoreboard pressure. 2025 will be our year. Thanks Mark
Looking back at the replay, the ABs did get back into the French half after the last penalty made it 30-29. So the ABs had a chance to slow the game down and go through some phases within kicking distance, but they instead went for the miracle play and BB stuffed it up by delaying his pass to Reiko which gave the defence time toget across and force a fumble from Reiko. If BB had passed straight away the ABs would have had a 3 on 2 down the right wing. Best option would have been to slow it down and set up a ruck to get closer to the posts.
Hi Mark. I enjoyed this game very much. I agree with you regarding our 12 and 13 combo. I've backed the All Blacks in their early strides and this game gives a good idea about what's to follow under Razor. NZ rugby will be sharp again. This time ... Razor sharp.
Yes I loved that game it was the best of the year,French people were very well mannered,I don’t mind losing in a game like that BUT WE DOMINATED IN EVERY AREA IN THE FIRST HALF. THAT GAME WE LOST THANKS TO THE POOR CHOICES OF THE COACH,FANCY TAKING ROIGARD OFF, THE FRENCH HB WASNT EVEN IN THE GAME UNTIL ROIGARD LEFT THE FI3LD. GAME OVER,. HOWEVER CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FRENCH. OH COACH RATIMA IS NOT UP FOR IT HES TOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOW.

Thank you France👏 for giving us a great game🤗 Both teams made many mistakes🫣 and they should know now what they're need to work on. The ABs gave away two tries by passing to French players😱 Hopefully they've learned from those errors🧐 Can't wait to see them back in NZ next year 👏
I cant remember what game it was but all blacks didnt use sam off the bench. When asked why, the coaching staff said that the boys on the field were playing good footy. Im curious to know why they decided to take Roigard off when he was having a MOTM performance. Some calls from our captain and coaches are questionable. Congrats 🇫🇷
Probably because he was playing the game at such a high pace that they thought he might have been a little fatigued, the team did look pretty fatigued in the second half.
The all blacks are known for their fitness and this is what made them run away with games in the past cos no other team could keep up. Either we have dropped that or the coaches thought that they can keep the momentum going with fresh legs. Ardie went 80 and lakai 79 so I can't see Roigard getting fatigued that early.
Both teams played really well and I would back either of them against the Springboks. Especially at home. Next year we will see. Hopefully Razors selections will be better. Good coach, jury out as a selector.
Next June the French will not come to NZ with their current top players as they will be busy still okaying the end of the Top 14 championship unfortunately
Ivery great video... About Ramos, it's true he's not a former 10, he is an excellent 15. he has a very great kick and as usual, he has a very great vision of the game because of his high abilities in 15. A very great 15 can do the more than decent job in 10, especially in a french side.. .because 15 are more unpredictable than 10... then it''s a plus for the French. It's harder for a 10 to play as 15. Both NZ and France will be teams to count with in the following years. The french young team is accumulating caps and experience. also, the reserve of players that France has is simply amazing, i have never seen France with so much numbers of great and young players and this, in every lines or position. Even when Dupont is not here, the other french N° 9 would make the choice hard in other nations.
Maybe misreading the game but although Lakai, Sititi and Savea are all individually great ball carriers it looked like they were outmuscled as a unit by the French loose forwards.
Just a pity we didn’t seal the deal. That has been a bit of an issue this season. But plenty to be positive about, building a solid team. Razors also developing in his international role.
Brilliant game / hats off to both teams! Staging of the haka floodlit in the dark was spectacular!! Anyone shed any light on why All Blacks no longer seem to do Ka Mate haka, rather Kapa o Pango - is it for cultural reason? Have to admit to loving the Ka Mate / is the one I've always associated with ABs ever since I was a kid.
Mark spot on about the all blacks midfield. They just keep running into brick walls. Also, the attack coach has to take some of the responsibility attack is too shallow not enough depth and no dummy runners
Was Reece carrying an injury? His defensive lapses and lack of pace led to a couple of French scores. Otherwise a good effort. Our goal kicking has improved, the locking and back three issues look better. Only two points away from a clean sweep is an improvement from the early season. The “filler” selections we remain committed to continue to hamper us; Ioane and Barrett aren’t natural centres.
I think ABs played well as a team. Frustrating more passes didnt go to hand, or that we didnt force the pass. For me we are still making the same errors, bad exits giving points straight back after scoring, accuracy and decision making. The french shut us down well, did their homework and got the result.
I think we are making progress but still our biggest issue and the 1 thing Razor doesn’t seem to want to change is our MIDFEILD. Jordy and Reiko are terrible centres, they can’t pass,get over the gain line or set anything up. They have no attacking nous and their attacking lines are terrible. We change this I think we can get back to being the dominant nation again. Everytime those two touch the ball we end up going backwards or the ball dies with them.
Beauden is better from the the bench, and I would have Damien at First Five until Richie Mo'unga comes back (then McK from bench also). Jordie is not doing it at 2nd 5/8 this year, and Proctor should be Centre. Caleb on one wing, then Tale'a and Reiko fight for other wing
Our attack is too desperate to find gaps with the offload. No need to make an offload at every collision. Keep things simple or else it becomes too predictable. Jordie also needs to stop with the last second short pass to Reiko on attack, it is doing nothing.
I am from south west France where rugby is a religion AB are the monument of rugby in 1964 1967 1973 the coming of the Blacks were the events I am a great supporter of my team Section Paloise and i am very Proud of having in our team some All Blacks colin Slade Conrad Smith Sam Whittelock
Great summary of the game Mark. Agree with you about the ABs 12 & 13. They are just not creating the opportunities for the wingers. I go back to the centre pairing of Nonu and Smith. They were great defensively and they could either break the opposition's defence and score tries themselves or they create opportunities for the winger to score. How is it that Razor is not seeing that Jodie and Ioane are the weakest link in the ABs backline? Or is it the case that there are no contenders to replace them? I for one think that Proctor will do a better job than Ioane at 13 but he has not been given a fair go by Razor in my humble opinion. Is it because Proctor can only play in one position (centre) whereas Ioane plays centre and wing?
@Wellyyoung Great post. Maybe, and its just a maybe, Razor was, is, using 2024 as a sighter to see who he has, how they go and will analyze at the end of the year and then go shopping for players in 2025 to fill those roles where we can do better. 12 and 13 as examples.
@@insiderugbywithmarklet's hope that is what Razor is thinking and planning. On a separate note, if the ABs and Wallabies were to play tomorrow do you think the latter will now have a better than 50:50 chance? The Wallabies have improved hugely since the Bledisloe series but so has the ABs.
I reckon, Lets drop Sevu Reece and Anton Lienert Brown We bring in Quin Tupea and find a way to squeeze in Ruben Love into the squad more often Sevu Reece is terrible defensively so is ALB he doesnt do too much do any thing and we need to get Cortez to speed up the game and make him just as effective as Cam In a game where one of our top wingers is injured We can get Will Jordan to the wing the other wing can be covered Rieko We need to get a Ruben Love to full back have and see just how he plays at the 15 role A back 3 of Rben Love at 15 ( Will Jordan, Mark Telea, Clarke, Rieko any 2 of these names) Damien/Beaudy at 10/22 Jordie at centre (though in my opinion Jordie isnt built to play centre and its crazy for me to say this but he has played better rugby at full back)
1. Tamaiti Williams (17) 2. Codie Taylor (93) 3. Tyrel Lomax (42) 4. Scott Barrett (78) (Captain) 5. Tupou Vaa’i (36) 6. Samipeni Finau (7) 7. Ardie Savea (92) (Vice-Captain) 8. Wallace Sititi (8) 9.

Damian McKenzie (60) In this Ruben comes off for D Mac Beaudy falls to Full Back or comes off. Sevu Reece and Anton Cant keep playing for the senior squad. We field 2 great 10s in the last 25 along with a refreshed front line from the bench. D Mac as a line breaker, Beaudy as game controller, Cam as a pace setter, Quinn as a steady 12/13 . Will Jordan as our set off wheels we can unleash with a wide pass. Ruben while his on can offer good defensive work and offensive work.
Jordie needs to find a way to put some size onto him because his pace alone cannot do much for him at Centre. The way Steph chewed him in the RWC will make him a more consistent target for a lot of mid line players.
Swap Dmac and BB around Bring the younger more powerful Degroot on for Tu'ungafasi. Swap Aumua and Taylor around. Not sure about Finau yet, need to see more of him. Could a player like Fabian Holland add value next year?? And is the loosetrio mix right??
Too bad, a win here would’ve been the making of Razor’s AB’s as worlds best again - have to wait till next year now! If we beat Italy, it’s an ordinary season win/loss for me but the growth has been really good, some real X factor talents and a lot more growth next year i expect and it was a really tough ask itinerary. France and Boks at Eden park next year should go down different. We gave France their second try with a box kick. Not a smart play against a team that’s inclined to and can run it back as well as we do. We’re defending box kicks well now but others execute them better than us and we shouldn’t be using them ourselves, unless as touch finders. Midfield is where linespeed meets the attacking line, you need strong ball carriers, experience and great defenders there and is why they’ve stuck with Jordie - who’s a lock in for me and Reiko whose X factor is pace - but he’s not been able to make the breaks, so he’s not being the weapon he could be. I’d look at trying a more power centre in maybe Fainganuku next year, he’s quick also, or maybe move slippery and game smarts Talea into 13 who has the step Reiko doesn't have, not sure if Procter has X factor. Our effort was great, discipline really good and shows we’re growing. France defense won it for them tho imo.
It sounds simplistic but would Jordie be more the 12 we need with an extra 7 kilos on him? I realise this is easier said than done; however, a few extra kilos would give Jordie the go forward that he's not currently achieving in the collision and with his height, his offload would be awesome. Do you think this is the main isssue Mark or are you saying we need a more creative, jinking Walter Little type number 12?
More creative, Riley Higgins. ALB needs to go for A J Lam. Proctor for Ioane and Ioane or Telea for Reece. Jordie tries bash and crash, but even with more weight he has no imagination.
@@Artygobanagh Extra weight would help him get over the gainline more consistently forsure, he's a big unit but he needs to full out his frame more. He could have a great offload but he gets too loose with them, he's taller than SBW so definitely has the levers to get an offload away but doesn't know when to use it. It would be beneficial if he worked on his footwork, he needs to learn to use late footwork at the line, other than that it's all about gaining experience and maturity which he will hopefully get during his Sabbatical in Ireland next year.
@Artygobanagh great question, short answer no. Look at how R.G Snyman goes into every tackle looking to get the ball away, sure hes taller than Barrett but he´s looking to create, Barrett mostly dies with the ball. ABs need a Nonu and Conrad Smith combination again in defense and attack. IMHO
@@insiderugbywithmark I agree we need a Nonu and a C. Smith Mark. My supplementary question is can Barrett and Ioane evolve/be coached into becoming the players we need before the next world cup and if not, which players should be our great Centre pairing for 2027?
@@Artygobanagh we don't have a Nonu or Conrad. Closest we have to Nonu is Levi Aumua, Peter Umaga-Jensen and Thomas Umaga-Jensen whose been recovering from an ACL rupture. Haven't seen any Conrads though, Reikos defense is pretty good though and is one of NZs best defensive centres. It's a shame that has hasn't kicked on more after all these years at centre, as an 18 year old playing Sevens he was full of exuberance, had a powerful fend and had a nice right foot step but he's never developed those skills as an All Black? He could be much better if he had developed those skills.
I agree Mark, this was the best game of the weekend. With that said, the level of the top 10 is amazing. As for the All- blacks, I was delighted with changes. As for the centers, this is were they need to make changes. I still think Caleb Clarke at 12 and Billy Proctor at 13 would be devastating. Now to get Cam a world 10 for him. As for the wings. Get two players that can counter the Springboks speed.
It was a lovely game of rugby to watch.Was anyones match to win.I think the ABS played the better rugby.There isn’t much between the top 5 teams in the world at all.
I DIDNOT WANT MY WORDS TO BE TRUE BUT HISTORY SHOWED US , IT DOESNT MATTER HOW GOOD THE OTHERS ARE PROBLEM KEEP AND WILL BE THE THREE BARRETTES BAD OMEN IT SEEMS ON PITCH. JORDI AND NOW BB ALSO GETTING OLD SCOT MUST NOT BE CAPTAIN KEEP HIM, WISH LAM PROCTOR LOVE PLUMMER CAN BE PART OF REVAMP. WOE FOR LEKAI, ARDIE SITITI HOPE JOSKINS CAN ALSO COME INMOVE RIEKO TO BENCH FOR WING AND CENTER,
Rugby and all the lovers of this incredible sport are the winners of this incredible evening. Thanks to both teams! We ll never forgot that these are the English people that created this magnificent sport, thanks for that also!
Sorry mark i have to disagree. The song and dance routine before the game is not what rugby followers are all about. We love the game itself, not the prematch entertainment. The game itself was worthy of best of the year for me, . Congratulations have to go France for their fightback.
Mark the French are at your backyard shopping at the same shopping center as the all blacks there are lot of pacific Polynesian players in French team they got very big forward pack matching springboks
@pimgrim1 Merci. C'est une excellente question et c'est peut-être parce que Beauden Barrett n'a pas eu un aussi bon bilan avec les coups de pied, donc je pense qu'il a décidé de garder davantage le ballon en main.
As a Springbok supporter, I thought this was the most impressive AB performance of the year. In my opinion, NZ would have been deserving winners. Roigard and Clark were outstanding. Roigard should have stayed on. Coaches don’t HAVE to use their whole bench.
If you watch my videos and listen to what I say then you would know that my opinion is that DMAC is best off the bench for this AB team. And your comment about the AB winning if he had started is unreal. It's as useful as saying that if Dupont didn't start for France the ABs would have won.
France are very hard to beat at home, classy outfit man, 12-13 ABs they arnt cutting it, 14 always starved of ball and has to go looking for it , sevu..sorry mate you got gassed a couple of times, ruben would of been an option because hes fast and nimble, du plesses Keriffe should of played instead of ALB, thunder thighs ! hard to put down, whats with that neck roll penalty !?
In France we have so much respect and love for the All Blacks, their spirit and how they play rugby.
Thanks bro thats super cool to hear.
I agree with my French compatriot ;)
@nicolaskluzek We also feel the same from real All Black fans
french here too and i agree with my compatriot !
@@jonathonmerson93 pour nous les français, les all blacks ont toujours été les meilleurs, nous avons un immense respect pour vous ! Le Haka ❤❤❤❤❤ merci, tellement beau !!!!🇨🇵🇳🇿
Kudos to the French people for the love and respect. The Rugby World needs to take a example of French rugby and the fans. Way to go guys. Merci.
Waiting to meet up in July 2025.
@sanjivat Indeed.
Mostly the football world needs to take an example! I am French and a rugby fan thanks to my father, a former rugby player. I am very proud of the behaviour of my fellow citizens who welcomed the ABs with respect. Wonderful lighting of Stade de France. 👍👍
@@sanjivat thanks for your comment. Fromage a french supporter
i was told that more than 9 000 000 french people on TV for that game....amazing.
The French love their rugby.
7,3 m which is already a great achievement
Wow 10.25 million incredible stuff
7.3 M, with a peak at 8.3 M...These are excellent numbers, can only be topped by top soccer competition.
When there's an ABs-France game, in France, everyone salivates 😄
@@gandigooglegandigoogle7202 expect nothing less from our ABs maan, rugby royalty even though we lost, all and all was a great evening for rugby itself.....
At the end of this hell of a game, I loved the level of respect from both teams: ABs and french casually chatting together like old buddies, the AB team doing a tour of the stadium to praise the crowd despite having lost, …
It’s sportsmanship at his best !
Yes but as a french I am often disappointed our fans whistling when kickers kick. English, Irish, many. Not with the ABs.
@ at least, and as opposed to the English fans, French fans reapected the Haka with a complete silence.
@ericsicard910 rugby the way it is meant to be. Spot on

@pinkunicorn3373 Fantastic, thank you for the comment
Congrats to both team, NZ and France gave us a great rugby show, one of the best since a long time. Great match review Mark, thx.
@Gibsoncustom64 Thank you
Always a privilege to receive the All Blacks in France
Merci beaucoup
French Rugby is really doing there bit for world rugby in making the game a true great visual experiance....cool
I don't know. They managed to make every scrum take an age.
Je suis français et j'ai beaucoup aimé le Kapa o Pango des All Blacks. Un des plus beaux hakka que j'ai vu. Quand je vois le respect du public français, je me dis que je suis fière d'être français. Affronter les All Blacks, reste un grand spectacle de titans entre 2 grandes nations, même si la défaite de 2011 est restée au fond de la gorge.
Thanks for the video from France, we love all blacks so mutch because this is the team that makes us progress the most
Le bleu was exceptional...
All matches between AB and Fr are special in intensity, intention and will to move forward by playing rugby with nobility and elegance but, this one was crossed by strange vibrations of happiness and excitement. A special moment of communion between two magnificent teams. Only one regret, a rugby match lasts only 80 minutes.... Saint Rugby pray for us happy spectators 🙂
Bonjour de France 😊 les All Blacks sont une Équipe magnifique, de grand talent , je vous adore. Très beau Match nos bleus ont été super il fallait ça face à une magnifique Équipe des Blacks. 👍
Yeah about 10% of French population watched the game, that should tell you whether that game mattered for the French. I loved how the French fixed their problems in second period. I previously thought that LBB was disappearing in big games but no longer, he was brilliant. They were disappointed by their 2023 world cup and their 2024 6 nations performance and I think they are gonna have big ambition for 6 nations 2025. They will go play in Ireland and England and I think those games could really be amazing.
Frenchy here , the French team were up for this and it started before the game - an acapella national anthem sung by 80000 , the light show and respect for the Haka. The ABs won the battle for the first half but DIDNT kill off the game. And the French bench and backs proved the difference. Meafu was a one man wrecking crew on offense and defense. Ramos inspired and a Dupont whose generalship in the second half broke the ABs resolve. And this was without Penaud , his replacement and some forced changes going into last 20. Hooker playing open side flanker, Dupont playing at 10. And losing the prop after 9 minutes . 2027 is shaping up to be a 3 man race - between South Africa , ABs and France. The Irish have (for the moment) dropped off and their supply line drying up , England need to decide what type of Rugby they want to play and the others having holes in their 15. Argentina, possibly being the dark horse with a rejuvenated Australia under Schmidt.
Easily the best game of Rugby of ‘24 !
You guys were so respectful- wish our own crew were the same!
Nailed it, thank you
Frenchman from Paris here. We love the Haka! AB team is the favorite of French people after French team of course ;) Rugby won last night!
Yep, and the Boks the most hated.
Is that because France is the ABs RWC nemesis, while the Boks are that vs France?
@@petes9524 I'm French and I personaly like the Boks, the most innovative team of recent years, and the most complete; capable of playing hard forward oriented rugby and also expensive attacking game. Some Saffa fans can be a real pain in the arse though...
@@petes9524 I think it's more like a cultural thing in France. We like pretty things like fashion, architecture, fine foods,... so we respect ABs because they are the representatives of beautiful play in the world of rugby
@MU-TH-UR great stuff.
I would point out though that no French team or player has ever been booed and heckled by 60000 fans at a South African ground at any test match. So much for arses.
@Creative_Dimensions738 your anthem hardly represents the finer things in life.." blood of our enemies etc,etc.
The South African anthem on the other hand, really humble, gentle, and positive, like the Boks as human beings, before and after another brutal, intelligent, tactical, victory on the field of battle.😉🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆🔥
I was in Stade de France yesterday and I totally loved the show from anthems to haka till both team going their round of the park with many fans still standing to thank them all. Magnifique game
@romainviry3185 AWESOME, thank you for the share
Les all black sont comme un exemple pour nous en France ❤ l équipe que l ´ on respecte probablement le plus
Merci beaucoup.
Agree with you Mark- it was the best AB performance this season but somehow the French just know how to beat the ABs!
What a great team you NZ are building ! Waw ! We will have serious games in the next years. Just salivating to watch them ! From a French rugby fan in love with both teams
@jerometisne6031 Thank you for the generous comment
This game reminds me the quarter of finale against the south africans last year … but with a reversed result.
A big domination during one half but not rewarded.
Sad for the AB that have missed one or two offloads which should have led to a clean win.
Our frenchies won because they succeeded to adapt their strategy and fix their issues in the middle of the game. This is outstanding.
Thank you for the analysis and yes the winner is rugby !
@gillessturbois8914 Merci beaucoup, I appreciate you
France are classy hosts even though they made a hash of our predictions, truly, I really thought the AB's were building towards a statement game, however, it wasn't to be and chops to this French side for reeling the game in. When the AB's midfield combinations have finally been sorted the future is bright.
Yes, this game is full of promise for the future (this applies to both teams).
In France we have so much respect for The All Blacks 🖤 the scenery was brilliant to put this Haka onto the lights 😍🤩
@christelcool Merci beaucoup
Rugby, sportsmanship and love for your fellow man. Well done AB's and France. It was one of the greatest matches, never mind the numerous mistakes that New Zealand made.
Congratulations to France a team that continues to have our number and more consistent in their play. I really like that young winger of theirs and looking forward to his development and Vive le France that continue to make moments spectacular epcecially the build up anthems, and the lighting and French Fans spectacular during the haka! WOW! These games will always be "who turns up in the day". I agree Mark the midfield, especially 12, needs addressing and I see many benefits for Reiko returning to the wing. Liked Ardie back on the side and the loose forward trio being more open and on the ball at the breakdowns and not so tight. Will Jordan made a couple of errors especially the missed pass to Clarke, Ardie on the inside, that had him in the air and ineffective. More good things to come from it like cohesion, and more clinical, I feel Razor is learning more about timing reserves and wish he shifted Damon to first receiver, Tamaiti is turning into a Beast. Lastly, Scott may need to rethink times to keep pressure on at times for the high risk and high reward as we do not have a good return rate after half-way kick-offs after a penalty. Roigard has confidence, aggression, snappy-pass from the base, and when its congested goes in with urgency to get it and distribute quickly.
I am French and rugby fan and it was the best match I saw the last 2-3 years - could have been either side
Indeed, thank you for the comment
As a Frenchman I am a great admirer of the all blacks. The greatest teams in the history of rugby. it's by the blacks that France was built for the greater glory of rugby in victory and defeat. For us, every match against the All Blacks is a final. You help us surpass ourselves... Thanks to this great Haka team.
You will forever be in our hearts...
From a french perspective i appreciate the objective criticism brought in this video. Analysis on point for both team, no useless blame put on the referee.
@jash1281 thank you, appreciate it.
What a great game and what a spectacular show beforehand. Two great teams going hammer and tongs at each other.
Would like to know your thoughts Mark on whether the AB's should have kicked for touch near the end instead of kicking for goal. I was scratching my head on that one.
However on this occasion you have to say hard luck AB's and Vive la France!
Definitely the best game of the Autumn Series if not the best game so far in 2024.
It's easy to say, after the game, that AB's should have chosen the lineout instead of the penalty kick. But at this moment, it was a difficult decision to take, since the physical domination of the AB's was no more as blatant as during the first half of the game.
@vladtheinhaler6579 I mentioned it in the video. I thought the AB´s made the right call on taking the points. There was enough time still in the game in my opinion to still win it.
Excellent analysis, Mark, in line with your high standards, and very graceful to the French I must say. I was very much impressed by the AB backrow's speed and intensity, and by Cam Roigard all-round play. I think at the end of the day the ABs were let down by some tactical naivety and suspect decision making at critical times.
@mahasamatman12 thank you, appreciate the feedback.
🎯
Great wrap once again. Also enjoyed the game and was really happy with NZ performance despite the loss. And yes, 12 and 13 remains NZs issues. Has been since 2016. Possibly fainganuku returning from Toulon will provide some oomph, but there's plenty of talent in nz who deserve a shot. I've been on about giving Reece more opportunities, but must admit he's been exposed a lot this season.
Hoping this is France prepping well for 6N next year. They've got a great team/squad and should be winning more often
@Thudsrayz 12, 13 remain the holes, plug those and this team can go places.
Another French here just to say thank u Mark for your great review, and thank u to the AB , always an honor to receive you guys, lots of respect. Definitely best game of the autumn season, very close in the end could have been either team to win. Maybe the French so under in the first half recovered and had much more steam and will in the end. The AB dominated the scrums, the lineouts, and possession, and despite the stats F came through. Rugby 🏉 is amazing
@xaviergiraudon2247 Thank you for the kind words. Which ever way we look at it, rugby was the winner. Bonne chance against Los Pumas.
I agree totally to your analysis. Bravo.
@JeanmarieLEBOULBA thank you
How good was Frances backline tackling. Won them the game and would have beaten any team. All blacks are on the up.
NZ started well but then fell off. Sivu probably played his last AB's game - Reckon there's probably a few props who'll beat him in a sprint. D'mac actually looked good when he came on. Cam Roigard is a gem of a player and he reminds me of Byron Kelleher. Good game from both teams, not the result I wanted but the AB's are building nicely.
Kelleher was a great player and he left some excellent memories in Toulouse.🤩
Great experience for the youngsters and newbies you learn more from a loss and the positive is we could have won that game ,we still need to play for 80 but that will come
Outstanding pre match with the ligthts, the a cappella Marseillaise by the whole stadium and the Haka in the middle of the solent crowd.
France vs New Zealand games are often among the greatest Rugby can produce. And this one is definitely one if the best. Best game of the week-end for sure, probably the best of the whole autumn series.
The result could really have been the other way. The AB may wonder how they have lost it being so dominant and powerful all along. The French were clinical transforming lead in gold thanks to a huge sometimes desperado-like defence, Ramos vista and Bielle-Biarrey roadrunner speed.
Maybe after 2 early in the games easy tries the AB were too confident. But the French regrouped, rallied and scored a beautiful try by Buros for his debut after a big work by their forwards. The end of the game was a showdown between Ramos and MacKenzie. In my opinion, the turning point at the end was the replacement of Roigard who was excellent so far. His successor making 2 or 3 blunders in a row.
The last 5 minutes the French at last were successful maintaining the AB in their own half harassing the ball carrier, avoiding to be penalized or a drop goal threat. It reminded me the end of the WC quarter in 2007, a sad date for NZ.
Again a great 2024 game, congrats to both teams and your fine and balanced comments.
The major difference with the France-South Africa RWC game lost by 1 point you are mentioning is that there was not so blatant referring mistakes last Saturday.
Next June in NZ I am sure the AB will be able to reverse the outcome. The French team will be very different as the major players will stay in France busy with the last phases of the Top14championship.
@marco-dn7kd Nicely written, and worth the read, thank you
Excellent game, at a high intensity. AB's midfield is a major concern. Should be blooding new talent at the minute, as the current centre pairing will not be there in 2027. Awesome match. Rugby was a winner on the day.
They won't in 2027? What do you mean by that?
Bonjour tous, je suis Français et fou de ce jeu merveilleux de Rugby. Mais plus encore des matchs AB/FR. Le plus beau respect pour le haka que j'ai vu était pour ce dernier match. J. Rokocoko, qui joue en France, a dit dans une interview que les joueurs NZ aiment lorsque l'adversaire défie le haka car cela montre qu'il lui accorde du respect et donne encore plus d'importance a l'enjeu. J'ai aussi été touché par une députée qui a fait un haka (au parlement je crois?) en signe de protestation dernièrement ; C'était très très impressionnant.
Bref pour finir, il y a un (vieux^^) dicton en France dans le milieu du rugby qui dit : Les AB sont invincibles, mais parfois, seulement parfois, on arrive à les battre.
Comme les brésiliens dans le foot, la NZ n'a pas inventé ce sport mais elle l'a sublimé.
Vivement juillet !
@musiklab7054 Merveilleux partage, merci beaucoup de partager cela avec nous tous. Je vous remercie également pour le soutien sur la chaîne. Continuez à aimer votre rugby.
Yes, congratulations France from this Kiwi, as you said Mark, rugby was the winner, what a fantastic advertisement for the game played at a superb level. And 8 million viewers! The next WC is going to be huge! As for the last opportunity in the game for the ABs why take 3 points at the death? The ABs of previous generations would have taken the lineout (and the risk) and gone for a try. We’ll never know now and that’s rugby.
As for the French, definitely number 2 , and like South Africa, have tremendous depth. They say this wasn’t even their best possible team because of injuries etc . I don’t think the ABs who weren’t available would have made a difference. But the ABs are also building and the coaches would have learned a lot from the tour.
Mark, you are bang on regarding our centres. All three big games showed our weakness there. If Reiko can’t pass, put him on the wing! Jordie takes it to the line but is often one out and where’s Reiko? They just don’t seem to work as a pairing.
I just hope that France bring their A team to NZ, but they probably won’t because of the demands of their domestic competition, more’s the pity because we would get a better idea of how the ABs are developing.
Hopefully the B side that will be sent this summer would be highly competitive. In the past FRA B sides were rubish with disinterested players, Since the Galhié Era they are used as development team for the Future, seriously coached. See The Australian tour a few years ago when we were close to win the series. See this summer tour in Argentina when our B/C side demolished the Argies in the first match (we lost the second partly because of the bad events that shook the team).
Sorry, 15 Perofetta, 14 Jordan. I think Razor made a mistake with Reece. Because he only chose 3 wings and 3 fullbacks, allowing for Jordan as cover, we were exposed. Razor also should have been using the new players off the bench, throughout the year, so they had experience and could drop in if someone lost form or was injured. It was too late to put in a new center or 12 with no-one having played there. Taking Havilli also cost us since he showed he just wasn't up to it. Plenty of midfielders he could have chosen. Bailey Sullivan, Riley Higgins, A J Lam. Lam is a straight swap for ALB. Plays wing, centre, and 12. Same with Bailey Sullivan.
Thx for your comments.
I am french. We played as we could. We were lucky.
I have to recognise that ABs can't be beaten... but they can loose a match.
@cmoi613 thank you also for your comment
We watched the game @ the Irish Pub in Antananarivo Madagascar🇨🇵
@jungbolosse3034 Fantastic
We admire the Haka, and the all blaks considered as the most prestigious team in the world. That's why they are always wellcomed and why our rugbymen always give their best against them.
@alexbardoux7297 Merci, nice thank you
Awesome match. Wasn't a neck roll at the end. NZ should have gone to the Lineout instead of taking the the three points in the end
French Here, if you'd put Ioane back on the wing (and i agree Ioane and Clarke would be a tremendeous pair) who would be the option at 13?
I do think both sides have got a lot of positives out of this game. From 1 to 8 NZ have a very impressive pack. NZ's scrum must be one of the best in the World Right now alongside RSA.
For us Buros and Boudehent are the good surprises. We need a solid 15 (specially under high balls) as a replacement for Ramos. Jaminet being definitely out of the Blue Jersey (and deservedly so) and Barré not quite the real deal yet.
Anyway, Great games as usual with those 2 teams, Huge respect as ever for the AB's. Cheers!
AJ Lam or Proctor
A J Lam is a gem of a player but the coaches don’t seem to play Auckland players, also I would like to see Clarke at inside centre
@rodcarlson9505 AJ at 2nd 5 Clarke at Centre,now that has potential
@@rodcarlson9505 the coaches don't seem to play Auckland players?? B Barrett, Clarke, Ioane, Tu’ungafasi and Tuipulotu all play for Auckland (and Tele’a would have been in there if not injured)...
In France we've a great respect for all blacks team and each match between us is a great moment for us !
Thank you
Was a great game to watch, was to many officials which doesn't help our game management we work hard to play at pace and penalties give our opponents the rest that keeps them in the game. Top 5 teams the margins are so fine, and we not far off winning these close games. We missed Sam cane's experience I think we should of gone for the corner more. I think Jordys our best 12 but we need a change at 13, and Sevu not up to test level anymore. Our pack will be the best in the world soon, power scrum, excellent lineout, and goaline D is the best. We do have Moanga, Frizell, and Fianuku coming back which will help Lester being a good option at 13. I like what Razors trying to do if we can convert it to points more often we will bury teams with scoreboard pressure. 2025 will be our year. Thanks Mark
It was a fantastic game. We probably could have won but for a few droppsies and maybe a poor decision at 74 min. Building nicely!!!
Looking back at the replay, the ABs did get back into the French half after the last penalty made it 30-29. So the ABs had a chance to slow the game down and go through some phases within kicking distance, but they instead went for the miracle play and BB stuffed it up by delaying his pass to Reiko which gave the defence time toget across and force a fumble from Reiko. If BB had passed straight away the ABs would have had a 3 on 2 down the right wing. Best option would have been to slow it down and set up a ruck to get closer to the posts.
Hi Mark. I enjoyed this game very much. I agree with you regarding our 12 and 13 combo. I've backed the All Blacks in their early strides and this game gives a good idea about what's to follow under Razor. NZ rugby will be sharp again. This time ... Razor sharp.
@jameshartzenberg5763 Excellent, thank you for the comment
Yes I loved that game it was the best of the year,French people were very well mannered,I don’t mind losing in a game like that BUT WE DOMINATED IN EVERY AREA IN THE FIRST HALF. THAT GAME WE LOST THANKS TO THE POOR CHOICES OF THE COACH,FANCY TAKING ROIGARD OFF, THE FRENCH HB WASNT EVEN IN THE GAME UNTIL ROIGARD LEFT THE FI3LD. GAME OVER,. HOWEVER CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FRENCH. OH COACH RATIMA IS NOT UP FOR IT HES TOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOW.

@jpr7365 yes looking back at the game there were a number of opportunities for both teams at different times of the game.
Thank you France👏 for giving us a great game🤗 Both teams made many mistakes🫣 and they should know now what they're need to work on. The ABs gave away two tries by passing to French players😱 Hopefully they've learned from those errors🧐 Can't wait to see them back in NZ next year 👏
@fabiangroom3228 Thank you for the comment
Very pleased to see us putting together some wonderful rugby, just not enough to win in this instance. Were are on track for the Boks in RWC.
@ShanePleasance thanks for the comment, appreciate it
I cant remember what game it was but all blacks didnt use sam off the bench. When asked why, the coaching staff said that the boys on the field were playing good footy. Im curious to know why they decided to take Roigard off when he was having a MOTM performance. Some calls from our captain and coaches are questionable. Congrats 🇫🇷
I was surprised Mark didn't mention it. Ratima wasn't a good replacement for a person who didn't need to be replaced.
Probably because he was playing the game at such a high pace that they thought he might have been a little fatigued, the team did look pretty fatigued in the second half.
@@Tanner-2 A little fatigued? He could have done the full 80 easy
The all blacks are known for their fitness and this is what made them run away with games in the past cos no other team could keep up. Either we have dropped that or the coaches thought that they can keep the momentum going with fresh legs. Ardie went 80 and lakai 79 so I can't see Roigard getting fatigued that early.
Merci a vous 🇫🇷
Well done the French but still hard to stomach.
@rossbarnett3759 Rugby won
Both teams played really well and I would back either of them against the Springboks. Especially at home. Next year we will see. Hopefully Razors selections will be better. Good coach, jury out as a selector.
Next June the French will not come to NZ with their current top players as they will be busy still okaying the end of the Top 14 championship unfortunately
Ivery great video... About Ramos, it's true he's not a former 10, he is an excellent 15. he has a very great kick and as usual, he has a very great vision of the game because of his high abilities in 15. A very great 15 can do the more than decent job in 10, especially in a french side.. .because 15 are more unpredictable than 10... then it''s a plus for the French. It's harder for a 10 to play as 15. Both NZ and France will be teams to count with in the following years. The french young team is accumulating caps and experience. also, the reserve of players that France has is simply amazing, i have never seen France with so much numbers of great and young players and this, in every lines or position. Even when Dupont is not here, the other french N° 9 would make the choice hard in other nations.
I like the Sullivan brothers, Zarn and Bailyn, they seem more creative???
Maybe misreading the game but although Lakai, Sititi and Savea are all individually great ball carriers it looked like they were outmuscled as a unit by the French loose forwards.
We missed Cane, like it or not. The other 3 are quite similar
@ Too true. Missed the big boy Kaino or Squire.
@@Tuatara587 Definitely. Funny thing is, having Sititi at 6 allows for Papali'i, when in form to play at 7
Just a pity we didn’t seal the deal. That has been a bit of an issue this season. But plenty to be positive about, building a solid team. Razors also developing in his international role.
@PapamoaWest-r4q Thank you for your comment
Even though France won the All Blacks definitely looked stronger
@irshaadstiles6346 thank you for sharing your view
c 'est un grand honneur de recevoir les all black !!
en France le rugby s écrit en bleu blanc rouge et le noir !!!
Merci beaucoup
if you dont know what feeling french have about the abs,take a look for the haka saturday night
@justsceptic3085 It was beautiful
Brilliant game / hats off to both teams! Staging of the haka floodlit in the dark was spectacular!! Anyone shed any light on why All Blacks no longer seem to do Ka Mate haka, rather Kapa o Pango - is it for cultural reason? Have to admit to loving the Ka Mate / is the one I've always associated with ABs ever since I was a kid.
Mark spot on about the all blacks midfield. They just keep running into brick walls. Also, the attack coach has to take some of the responsibility attack is too shallow not enough depth and no dummy runners
Was Reece carrying an injury? His defensive lapses and lack of pace led to a couple of French scores. Otherwise a good effort. Our goal kicking has improved, the locking and back three issues look better. Only two points away from a clean sweep is an improvement from the early season. The “filler” selections we remain committed to continue to hamper us; Ioane and Barrett aren’t natural centres.
I think ABs played well as a team. Frustrating more passes didnt go to hand, or that we didnt force the pass. For me we are still making the same errors, bad exits giving points straight back after scoring, accuracy and decision making. The french shut us down well, did their homework and got the result.
I think we are making progress but still our biggest issue and the 1 thing Razor doesn’t seem to want to change is our MIDFEILD. Jordy and Reiko are terrible centres, they can’t pass,get over the gain line or set anything up. They have no attacking nous and their attacking lines are terrible. We change this I think we can get back to being the dominant nation again. Everytime those two touch the ball we end up going backwards or the ball dies with them.
@Scrotomus As you know, many on this channel agree with you, yes.
Beauden is better from the the bench, and I would have Damien at First Five until Richie Mo'unga comes back (then McK from bench also).
Jordie is not doing it at 2nd 5/8 this year, and Proctor should be Centre. Caleb on one wing, then Tale'a and Reiko fight for other wing
@NigelMiller-lf6nr Caleb at 12...... !
Thanks to the referee who was so good, he also made this great match possible.
No speed at wide. ...got real problems in the backs ... Jordan not right .. midfield not creating opportunities...
Belle analyse et bon esprit 👍
Merci beaucoup
ça s'est tenu à un rebond favorable ! Ayons le triomphe modeste !
C'était un grand match et un excellent exemple de rugby pour tous les amateurs de rugby.
Our attack is too desperate to find gaps with the offload. No need to make an offload at every collision. Keep things simple or else it becomes too predictable. Jordie also needs to stop with the last second short pass to Reiko on attack, it is doing nothing.
@gc4610 I am on your train, yes
I am from south west France where rugby is a religion AB are the monument of rugby in 1964 1967 1973 the coming of the Blacks were the events I am a great supporter of my team Section Paloise and i am very Proud of having in our team some All Blacks colin Slade Conrad Smith Sam Whittelock
ON field game management and a 10,12 & 13 that can make game changing plays is what is missing.
Great summary of the game Mark. Agree with you about the ABs 12 & 13. They are just not creating the opportunities for the wingers. I go back to the centre pairing of Nonu and Smith. They were great defensively and they could either break the opposition's defence and score tries themselves or they create opportunities for the winger to score. How is it that Razor is not seeing that Jodie and Ioane are the weakest link in the ABs backline? Or is it the case that there are no contenders to replace them? I for one think that Proctor will do a better job than Ioane at 13 but he has not been given a fair go by Razor in my humble opinion. Is it because Proctor can only play in one position (centre) whereas Ioane plays centre and wing?
@Wellyyoung Great post. Maybe, and its just a maybe, Razor was, is, using 2024 as a sighter to see who he has, how they go and will analyze at the end of the year and then go shopping for players in 2025 to fill those roles where we can do better. 12 and 13 as examples.
@@insiderugbywithmarklet's hope that is what Razor is thinking and planning.
On a separate note, if the ABs and Wallabies were to play tomorrow do you think the latter will now have a better than 50:50 chance? The Wallabies have improved hugely since the Bledisloe series but so has the ABs.
Ive feared france but now I know we can hurt them, and any other team, Roigard and 6, 7 and 8 showed them actually the whole front row
I reckon,
Lets drop Sevu Reece and Anton Lienert Brown
We bring in Quin Tupea and find a way to squeeze in Ruben Love into the squad more often
Sevu Reece is terrible defensively so is ALB he doesnt do too much do any thing and we need to get Cortez to speed up the game and make him just as effective as Cam
In a game where one of our top wingers is injured
We can get Will Jordan to the wing the other wing can be covered Rieko
We need to get a Ruben Love to full back have and see just how he plays at the 15 role A back 3 of Rben Love at 15 ( Will Jordan, Mark Telea, Clarke, Rieko any 2 of these names)
Damien/Beaudy at 10/22
Jordie at centre (though in my opinion Jordie isnt built to play centre and its crazy for me to say this but he has played better rugby at full back)
1. Tamaiti Williams (17)
2. Codie Taylor (93)
3. Tyrel Lomax (42)
4. Scott Barrett (78) (Captain)
5. Tupou Vaa’i (36)
6. Samipeni Finau (7)
7. Ardie Savea (92) (Vice-Captain)
8. Wallace Sititi (8)
9. Cam Roigard (8)
10. Beauden Barrett (132)
11. Caleb Clarke (27)
12. Jordie Barrett (67) (Vice-Captain)
13. Rieko Ioane (79)
14. Will Jordan
15. Ruben Love
16. Asafo Aumua (18)
17. Ofa Tu’ungafasi (66)
18. Pasilio Tosi (6)
19. Patrick Tuipulotu (49)
20. Peter Lakai (1)
21. Cortez Ratima (10) -> Needs a lot of work
22. Quinn Tupea
23. Damian McKenzie (60)
In this Ruben comes off for D Mac Beaudy falls to Full Back or comes off. Sevu Reece and Anton Cant keep playing for the senior squad. We field 2 great 10s in the last 25 along with a refreshed front line from the bench. D Mac as a line breaker, Beaudy as game controller, Cam as a pace setter, Quinn as a steady 12/13 . Will Jordan as our set off wheels we can unleash with a wide pass. Ruben while his on can offer good defensive work and offensive work.
Jordie needs to find a way to put some size onto him because his pace alone cannot do much for him at Centre. The way Steph chewed him in the RWC will make him a more consistent target for a lot of mid line players.
Swap Dmac and BB around
Bring the younger more powerful Degroot on for Tu'ungafasi.
Swap Aumua and Taylor around.
Not sure about Finau yet, need to see more of him.
Could a player like Fabian Holland add value next year??
And is the loosetrio mix right??
C'est vrai! Le vrai vainqueur a été le rugby. Super match!
Too bad, a win here would’ve been the making of Razor’s AB’s as worlds best again - have to wait till next year now!
If we beat Italy, it’s an ordinary season win/loss for me but the growth has been really good, some real X factor talents and a lot more growth next year i expect and it was a really tough ask itinerary.
France and Boks at Eden park next year should go down different.
We gave France their second try with a box kick.
Not a smart play against a team that’s inclined to and can run it back as well as we do.
We’re defending box kicks well now but others execute them better than us and we shouldn’t be using them ourselves, unless as touch finders.
Midfield is where linespeed meets the attacking line, you need strong ball carriers, experience and great defenders there and is why they’ve stuck with Jordie - who’s a lock in for me and Reiko whose X factor is pace - but he’s not been able to make the breaks, so he’s not being the weapon he could be.
I’d look at trying a more power centre in maybe Fainganuku next year, he’s quick also, or maybe move slippery and game smarts Talea into 13 who has the step Reiko doesn't have, not sure if Procter has X factor.
Our effort was great, discipline really good and shows we’re growing. France defense won it for them tho imo.
I'm already looking forward to that eden park game! Now they'll get a taste of the eden park curse!!
It sounds simplistic but would Jordie be more the 12 we need with an extra 7 kilos on him? I realise this is easier said than done; however, a few extra kilos would give Jordie the go forward that he's not currently achieving in the collision and with his height, his offload would be awesome. Do you think this is the main isssue Mark or are you saying we need a more creative, jinking Walter Little type number 12?
More creative, Riley Higgins. ALB needs to go for A J Lam. Proctor for Ioane and Ioane or Telea for Reece. Jordie tries bash and crash, but even with more weight he has no imagination.
@@Artygobanagh Extra weight would help him get over the gainline more consistently forsure, he's a big unit but he needs to full out his frame more. He could have a great offload but he gets too loose with them, he's taller than SBW so definitely has the levers to get an offload away but doesn't know when to use it.
It would be beneficial if he worked on his footwork, he needs to learn to use late footwork at the line, other than that it's all about gaining experience and maturity which he will hopefully get during his Sabbatical in Ireland next year.
@Artygobanagh great question, short answer no. Look at how R.G Snyman goes into every tackle looking to get the ball away, sure hes taller than Barrett but he´s looking to create, Barrett mostly dies with the ball. ABs need a Nonu and Conrad Smith combination again in defense and attack. IMHO
@@insiderugbywithmark I agree we need a Nonu and a C. Smith Mark. My supplementary question is can Barrett and Ioane evolve/be coached into becoming the players we need before the next world cup and if not, which players should be our great Centre pairing for 2027?
@@Artygobanagh we don't have a Nonu or Conrad. Closest we have to Nonu is Levi Aumua, Peter Umaga-Jensen and Thomas Umaga-Jensen whose been recovering from an ACL rupture.
Haven't seen any Conrads though, Reikos defense is pretty good though and is one of NZs best defensive centres. It's a shame that has hasn't kicked on more after all these years at centre, as an 18 year old playing Sevens he was full of exuberance, had a powerful fend and had a nice right foot step but he's never developed those skills as an All Black? He could be much better if he had developed those skills.
I agree Mark, this was the best game of the weekend. With that said, the level of the top 10 is amazing. As for the All- blacks, I was delighted with changes. As for the centers, this is were they need to make changes. I still think Caleb Clarke at 12 and Billy Proctor at 13 would be devastating. Now to get Cam a world 10 for him. As for the wings. Get two players that can counter the Springboks speed.
@ericbreeden411 Thanks so much for sharing your views.
It was a lovely game of rugby to watch.Was anyones match to win.I think the ABS played the better rugby.There isn’t much between the top 5 teams in the world at all.
I DIDNOT WANT MY WORDS TO BE TRUE BUT HISTORY SHOWED US , IT DOESNT MATTER HOW GOOD THE OTHERS ARE PROBLEM KEEP AND WILL BE THE THREE BARRETTES BAD OMEN IT SEEMS ON PITCH. JORDI AND NOW BB ALSO GETTING OLD SCOT MUST NOT BE CAPTAIN KEEP HIM, WISH LAM PROCTOR LOVE PLUMMER CAN BE PART OF REVAMP. WOE FOR LEKAI, ARDIE SITITI HOPE JOSKINS CAN ALSO COME INMOVE RIEKO TO BENCH FOR WING AND CENTER,
Rugby and all the lovers of this incredible sport are the winners of this incredible evening. Thanks to both teams!
We ll never forgot that these are the English people that created this magnificent sport, thanks for that also!
@pedenchristian3993 Nice, merci beaucoup
You wellcome !
Merci
Sorry mark i have to disagree. The song and dance routine before the game is not what rugby followers are all about. We love the game itself, not the prematch entertainment. The game itself was worthy of best of the year for me,
. Congratulations have to go France for their fightback.
@runforrestrun1965 Thanks so much for sharing your opinion, great stuff.
Mark the French are at your backyard shopping at the same shopping center as the all blacks there are lot of pacific Polynesian players in French team they got very big forward pack matching springboks
excellent résumé du jeu mais je n'ai pas compris pourquoi les AB n'utilisaient pas également les coups de pieds pour dépasser notre défense agressive
@pimgrim1 Merci. C'est une excellente question et c'est peut-être parce que Beauden Barrett n'a pas eu un aussi bon bilan avec les coups de pied, donc je pense qu'il a décidé de garder davantage le ballon en main.
Le rugby des blacks ❤❤❤❤❤
As a Springbok supporter, I thought this was the most impressive AB performance of the year. In my opinion, NZ would have been deserving winners. Roigard and Clark were outstanding. Roigard should have stayed on. Coaches don’t HAVE to use their whole bench.
@jacobcoetzee3849 Great share, nice points, thank you
You still think Dmac is not up to the job?
The ABs would have won if he had of started.
If you watch my videos and listen to what I say then you would know that my opinion is that DMAC is best off the bench for this AB team.
And your comment about the AB winning if he had started is unreal. It's as useful as saying that if Dupont didn't start for France the ABs would have won.
Un honneur de rencontrer la nation All-blacks,
une histoire , une identité ,un courage sans faille.
Au plaisir de vous recevoir.
From Fr@nce
@manukeo5498 Merci beaucoup pour les gentils mots. A bientôt en France
Ione to wing, new center for 2026 (lienert brown needs to go), maybe hothan and Roigard - our building blocks are there
France are very hard to beat at home, classy outfit man, 12-13 ABs they arnt cutting it, 14 always starved of ball and has to go looking for it , sevu..sorry mate you got gassed a couple of times, ruben would of been an option because hes fast and nimble, du plesses Keriffe should of played instead of ALB, thunder thighs ! hard to put down, whats with that neck roll penalty !?
