Basically Cody losing this for us, wasted so many attacking lineouts

No blame for the others jumping too early, too late, getting beaten in the air, dropping the ball?

@ACT-Crusader

Agreed. If the lineup works we are probably up by 7-10.

However, now that we are under pressure, I’m not even fixing that gets us over the line. It’s necessary, but not sufficient.

Finau does not look ready for this level yet. Ardie is a bit part player. Dalton is the pick and looks like the only accurate one out there.

Our aggressive defence in the middle of the field probably been our highlight, much better in contact than last week

[chimoaus]

So 4 or 5 lineouts lost and 7 turnovers? You can’t win test rugby when you keep gifting the ball back to the opposition.

Get Vai on for Finau again,, aumua on, alb on and Ioane too the wing

[Tim]

Definitely drag Finau at halftime. Not test level.

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

It's reading like you want this to happen

Has Akira bought his flight ticket yet?

Oh and Ratima we need sums speed
on attack

[hydro11]

Half our play has been excellent. The other half (our lineout and our exits in particular) have really let us down.

Agreed with all those changes + Ratima

Yeah I added that

[gt12]

Do you take off Telea and move Rieko to the wing?

[Canes4life]

Bring Jacobsen, Aumua and ALB on and move Ioane to the wing.

[Tim]

@hydro11 Creating opportunities and defending well, but too many fuck ups!

[chimoaus]

Instead of 5 NZ attack coaches we clearly need a NH coach for exits. Ireland and England are masters at this. Why in all these years have we not figured out how to exit.

No, you stop handing England unearned possession.

[booboo]

My 2c.

We're still the better side. Generally been able to nullify anything England has.

But...

1. do we practice lineouts? At all?
2. When did we actively try and forget how to catch?

I have confidence if we stop panicking we will win, but we've left the door too far open.

[nostrildamus]

I think even Beauden would be faster on the wing than Telea.
