[BerniesCorner]

We could have been 12 points ahead

Smith easily MOM in that first half.

Mostly, some questionable decisions. Itoje had great moments.

Mark Telea never takes the outside option. It’s an issue.

[KiwiMurph]

The irony is Razor's Crusaders used to pick on Telea under high ball a few years back

1 try saving tackle and 2 try assists, he is the reason England are ahead at the break.

Codie Taylor having a shocker, throwing piss poor and that penalty he gave away on the half time buzzer had me blowing a gasket at the TV.

Get Aumua on from the start of the 2nd half!

Want to see Beauden on early as well.

Has Akira bought his flight ticket yet?

Beyond weird that the ABs coaches overlooked Akira.

@mariner4life

I’m surprised we havent tried offloads, quite a few reasonable opportunities and its not like we are protecting the ball anyway

[nostrildamus]

We should have someone on the bench fast enough to replace a winger.

[mariner4life]

I do not want BB on as Perofeta has been fucking good

And I think BB is proper cooked

[BerniesCorner]

McCaw would grab this game by the scruff now.
We are going to find out

Naysayers. ABs will run away with this. Keep the faith!

Great opportunity for this group to overcome a little adversity and lift in the second 40

[KiwiMurph]

We selected 4 specialist wings and only pick the same 2 in the 23....

Akira overlooked for Finau hasn't been a convincing decision given the last 100 or so minutes...

Also for the coaches to make an early statement with an improved 2nd half

[sparky]

@BerniesCorner Yeah but he retired over eight years ago.

[chimoaus]

Fix the lineouts and exits and it’s a different game. We have been very good at the breakdown defence, Scrum is excellent.

Really?

Marcus Smith?

Reckon he's keeping us in it

Sure the two kicks for tries but otherwise less than ordinary

He's in the stadium and ready to jump the fence? Or is he parachuting in? Phew.

[Gunner]

Immediate must fixes for Robertson, are lineout and exit plays.

Both are as bad as it gets at the moment
