Re: All Blacks V France B 2nd Test Match Thread.

Decent performance from AB's.... say 6.5 out of 10.... would luv to see a complete 80 minute performance like the first half.

Savea at 8 then? He needs to be out there.

Not sure Kirifi is the answer at 7.
He's not a 7s ringpiece. We are a poorer side with Savea at 7.
Ok, who at 7?
