[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 463469, member: 44806"] Don't agree with that. We were content to keep the ball in our own half which could have proven fatal if the French had been given 1 or 2 more penalties. The one thing I couldn't get over was once we got a turn over in our own territory we simply bombed it high in midfield and gave the ball straight back to them. It was such a silly tactic because you can't score points if you don't have the territory and that's why were were on defense most of the night. If the All Blacks had kicked for territory rather than possesion they would have made there job a damn sight easier. They did it for significant periods against the Aussies and it worked like a charm. But at the end of the day they won, so good on them. Their defense was outstanding though, that was good to watch.
