Just tried to get onto the Stuff website and received an error message ‘something bad has happened, please try again later’.

How ironic.

Well played England. We were humped. Not looking forward to life in London this week ...

Ironic? That Stuff was accurate for once?

@Victor-Meldrew

So why was he taken off.

Probbly for the same reason Cane didn't start.

[Kirwan]

Oh, and Ben Smith might of been handy on the bench too

If the boys can get up against SA my God they've got every chance of a first meeting with Bill. England were absolutely huge tonight, you could say they played their final a week early...

@Kirwan Absolutely mate. Obvious mistakes that were baffling. How many times did we hear about the importance of experience under pressure, then it was dumped. Very 2003.

Comiserations to all you kiwis, your team let you down, but in fairness they never gave up. But that performance from England would have beaten anyone. Relentless.

England were fantastic. Dominated the game. Good luck next week.

Planned replacement. They always bring SBW at that point.

[BerniesCorner]

The funny thing is we would have still been in it if we had relaxed and concentrated, eliminated mistakes.

Yeah. It was the relief as much as anything.
Firstly we weren’t shit. Then we won.

[Tim]

@Kirwan Starting at fullback. Would not have been a world beater, but would have been tidy and provided a useful calm voice.

I wanted him at 15 and Barrett at 10.

Yep, except Franks though. The exception that proves the rule

[Tim]

@Luigi Your team was bloody good, but they bombed some opportunities.

Far from shit, England were awesome.

Kept the wrong players too long, got rid of the right ones too soon. Pretty much sums up the last 4 years
