Bit of credit guys, that kick was on thr money and that was a great take

Twice in one half. At this rate we'll be giving a bit of credit lots more

Yeetyaah

@sparky Reece has barely had the ball and when he has, he's looked good.

I think Telea might be having his last game for quite some time. Narawa and Clarke would have at least competed

I'm wondering if he has an injury and can't jump. Don't recall him ever jumping like a winger in these two tests.

England look like they've brought an analyst and some coaches.

ABs somehow look worse with an extra week in camp.

@KiwiMurph His stupid penalty which gave England the advantage has a part to play in that last try too. He's had a mare.

There is a story about TJ having trouble when he leads the haka (I think Smith said it too). Maybe Taylor has the bug?

But he's barely had the ball. I expect Test wingers to go looking for work.

Thank Christ Dalton is out there. Mostly Rubbish apart from Perefota at points, the scrum and loose forward defence by our 7 and 9.

Well we can’t ask for more than that - an actual contest.

Need to improve the lineout communication whether we are not lifting or lifting. Whether we going long or short. Simple stuff really.

Tele’a shit in the air he didn’t even get off the ground

Any comment on Codie?

Already mentioned the line out
a mess from throwing,calling, lifting, jumping the whole thing is a fucking mess a few to blame in that mess.

Old Samurai Jack

Sigh...... the ole exit problem....

Yeetyaah

We're really missing Colin Meads out there tonight

kev

Our exits have been poor

Tordah

England looking good. ABs very inaccurate with handling and lineouts. That missed try opportunity by Perofeta & Telea was horrid.

African Monkey

@gt12 He's playing like his bad 2022 form again.

I'd get Aumua out there.

Tim

If we had more accuracy we would be up by more than 10. Shit lineouts, restarts, and general inaccuracy killing us.

Papalii having a blinder. Savea more involved, Scott Barrett doing lots of good stuff but not quite coming off. Rieko good on "both sides of the ball".

nostrildamus

Regards the lineout I'd like to go back and when Itoje has his moments is that against Patty or Scott?

MiketheSnow

If England hadn't scored in that passage of play they would have gone in to oranges disappointed that they hadn't capitalised on the territorial and possession advantage.

Smith is having a very good game. Best 'Test' performance I've seen from him.

Kicks to the wing spot on. Identified that NZ are poor there.

Deserved lead for England.

Frank

Dalton playing well. Finau anonymous again. Not ready.

Telea is so gone once Clarke is fit. (Smith will try that cross field kick to him again) in the 2nd half.

KiwiMurph

Get Aumua on

At least he's a ball running threat

sparky

Huge opportunity for England to chalk up a win at "Fortress Eden Park".
