People are talking nonsense here if they think there's no difference to the Foster era from tonights game.

Feel free to enlighten us on the differences?

Shit that pissed me off for the last few years:
Rubbish kick chase
No ruck pressure

Tonight was exactly the same. Fucking trash.

[Tim]

@mariner4life They actually did it at the end of the game, but there was a long period of aimless kicking.

[mariner4life]

I know it's generally negative but I thought that was a great game of rugby. Both teams had a real crack, and in the main the accuracy was high.
We won which is awesome.

And it was miles in front of the next game.

Congratulations to the ABs on a good win

It's an England team with a shithouse coach and Wish Mounga at first five. Whoop de doo.

[Bones]

And now it's an England team that scraped past a team that just got mullered by Australia

@Gunner Please link ONE game under Foster against a northern rush defense that we found that much space out wide.

Not even close, I have not seen us create that level of space since before the Lions came down in 2017 and suffocated us with their defense, which was to be a precursor for the next 8 years of games against northern opposition.

Also, they’ve only had a couple of weeks together under the new coaching regime. Jesus, give them some time before passing final judgement.

You talking to us or praying to Razor?

[Bones]

Hard to fault that I guess, the massive amount of tries scored out wide was unbelievable.

[mariner4life]

It's not Foster v Razor

It's DMac has a better passing game than BB and Mo'unga and thus we unlocked it

I'm still astounded that he's copping shit playing 10 outside a beaten pack and rubbish halfbacks.the boy is a wizard

@nostrildamus time will tell if he’s the Messiah

@mariner4life The performances of 1 through 9, and the structures were more important, but he spent most of the game putting in mediocre kicks or delivering passes to players under pressure. It was not a very good performance. Which made him no different to most of the players, but under pressure he wasn't putting us in good field position.

Riiiiight

Tell me again about how Dalton is a genuine 7

[Machpants]

BBC

The ever-reliable Ben Earl was then caught out by the fleet-footed Stephen Perofeta - a surprise selection at full-back over two-time world player of the year Beauden Barrett - who fed Savea to cross out wide.

So not really ever reliable then?

[Tim]

@mariner4life

There are no genuine sevens now. Who plays one? Everyone is a hybrid now. What do you want, a "link player" from 2008?

Opensides tackle and hit rucks. Jackling is great, and ball carrying is a bonus. A good game plan connects them with their carriers, and positions them to have the most impact on defence.

[Tim]

BTW, who is faster than Papalii? Maybe Savea? That's it in NZ.

@Tim is it possible to rent your glasses for game? Sounds like fascinating viewing

Everyone. I watched Ioane burn him. He's slow and no ruck threat
Savea isn't a ruck guy any more
Finau didn't do much tonight and isn't a ruck guy

We've abandoned the "fetcher" and we don't hit rucks to turn over. England kept the ball as long as they wanted.
