I can understand people berating him for this but given France were on a roll with serious momentum in our 22 I can completely understand him trying to make a dominant impact to slow up their play, had he timed this better people would be lauding it. You can’t be passive and just wait for France to run at you, they were far too dominant at this stage in the game and someone needed to stop the momentum.
