France only have themselves to blame.

Not completing sets, poor kicks, silly penalties.

It's how NOT to win a test match 101. Bravo!

to many french players have bottled this, elima, bosc and duport should feel let down by a couple of their team mates.

france showing all the hallmarks of an agar coached team when it comes to attack. decent effort in defence in the first half

I think its 50/50 the English coaches you have appointed have always being poor so I don't know how France expected them to be the right people. Watching this game though half the French players don't want to know IMO Bosc craps himself every time a Kiwi is within a few metres of him and the wingers are laughable at catching balls, they don't even put in an attempt.

No self belief from France tonight and IMO they have let there supporters down.

bentham is absolutley hammering france here.

He's shouting MOVE MOVE MOVE before the NZ player has even hit the deck and the tackle complete. Lays on the ground a split second PENALTY

maybe they should have the Catalan Dragons coach in charge.....for obvious reasons.

he is certainly give nz help they don't need, seems more interested in keeping chummy with the kiwi players. also that nah his milking milking is straight out of a aus ref gobbed and it es me off so much.

Remains to be seen if Catalans alone can carry French RL on their own, but on this evidence........NON!

Bentham is an idiot

Darryl Halligan not only cannot pronounce a single French name (e.g. he pronounces Escare as "Escarget," Stacul as "Staku", Larroyer as "Larroyue" Vaccari as Vaccaray" etc.) he cannot even learn when Voss makes a correct or nearly correct pronunciation. The Kiwi man is a dope unfortunately.

Your boys have been well and truly bitchslapped tonight. I'd have thought the commentary was the least of your worries.

it reflects that this an agar coached side.

Agreed.

True! Should of scored that!

What a letdown
