Perenara - i hope you are ok

Definitely. It would be a cruel twist of fate to get injured in this fixture.

[Nepia]

The Poms don't seem to like Jordie, he's been getting some treatment from them.

[Donsteppa]

Too many forwards hanging out in the back line there.

[Tim]

That was pathetic. Kick it out

[antipodean]

Why are we still fucking playing? Get the ball out you idiots.

[Canes4life]

Lol everyone talking about TJ and his service. Don’t you guys remember we have Christie on the bench.

[KiwiMurph]

That was very very dumb rugby

[Machpants]

Dumb as fuck play

So we shouldn't criticise Perenara's service?

[Jailbreak7]

Stupid play, once the shape went it should have gone into the stands

[No Quarter]

Wish we had Ratima on the bench. Christie is better than TJP though.

[Frank]

Back aligment on attack after the 1st phase has Jordie standing deeper.
We look more marginally dangerous with ball in hand.

[Victor Meldrew]

England just soak up the pressure from the AB's and win another breakdown penalty.

I’m not saying that I’m just saying its not going to get any better.

TJ was good for most of that half yet classic fern, let’s bag a guy when our cleaners don’t do their job.

screaming at the tv - just kick the fucken thing out we're going no where

[No Quarter]

Good half of footy though, very physical from both sides. Poised for a very interesting 2nd 40.

[Tim]

Some good signs (set piece, some carrying), but very rusty. Cleaner-carrier connection lacking. Defence poor. Lacking composure.

Let's have big second 40 without Perenara's slop.

[African Monkey]

Kick the fucken thing out.

Have to say England probably have the better of the physical exchanges. One of the big differences between super rugby and test level, which we will get used to as the season goes on no doubt.

[Tordah]

ABs play like Todd Blackadder's Crusaders. Going wide without ever sucking in defence around the ruck. They should learn a thing or two from this year's Blues. Very disappointing so far

[Frank]

Once Lomax slows, get Newell on to attack their scrum.
