A “famous victory”…. for the ABs

Scotland only have themselves to blame
NZ bench steadied the ship

Quite amazing considering how badly BB DH and Clarke played!
Edit: ALB seemed much happier when he went to 12 and Rieko came on to 13. -
Commiserations to Foster. He came so close to another record but the subs let him down. He will be pleased with the efforts of DH, Clarke and BB though.

Rieko, premier midfielder.
Some people on here think he’s not a centre’s arsehole

I am not sure I will be able to watch the post-match interview with the AB coaches.
Bingo bonus if learnings is mentioned. -
I am not sure - during that Scottish yellow card on Dempsey - he was leaning/moving past the AB as if he really was going for the ball as well..

He can be quite an arsehole and he's a handy centre though.

Telea great debut, gives us an option to drop Clarke now.
DP absolutely devastating.
Perenara may well have broken some bench 9 hearts too.

I'm not sure dropping Clarke is only optional. More of a necessity. Not RWC ready.

I don't care if he doesn't have an arsehole at all if he plays like that.

Smith, Mo, Reece, JB, Reiko, Telea, BB for England

I loved that our bench came on when we were under the pump and provided both a steadying hand but also upped the tempo and energy. TJP was critical because maintaining possession was what we needed and he provided that. Our forward replacements made a big difference too by playing direct.
From ALBs YC to about the 58th minute we played some ill disciplined, high error and at times just dumb rugby.
Pleased to get the win because the last 20 was pretty good.

Wow.
Perenara's best ever test. Amazing. What a return.
All the bench were great. Taylor was immense.
Telea well done - huge debut.
But but but Rieko never passes? - sit down.

I know it was off the bench, but fuck he was ever present, on the button with his options and no fannying about. Where has this guy been? He was Christie on roids.

It does show you the value of form (and the NPC).
He had a wonderful NPC campaign and played really well for AB XV last week.
