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

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

I think public confidence might need it.

Not much fucking surf-god Jesus coaching so far.

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

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

He had a better team

[mariner4life]

The guy who would help is Jerry Collins. Jerry ran on to the ball. You're not rushing the guy whonis already moving

Has Akira bought his flight ticket yet?

Beyond weird that the ABs coaches overlooked Akira.

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

Yep, loose forwards other than Dalton haven't been too flash so far in this series.

Smith easily MOM in that first half.

Really?

Marcus Smith?

Reckon he's keeping us in it

Sure the two kicks for tries but otherwise less than ordinary

Yep two pinpoint kicks for two tries and stopping a certain try. Keeping England in NZ half with kicking. Not sure you want much more from your 10.

Our carry game is fucking terrible.

Guys are just standing there. I don’t think any of them understand what they are trying to do.

[sparky]

England dominating territory 62% to 38%. Their kicking game is so much better than the ABs.

[chimoaus]

No changes.

Dalton has been good tonight but he was missing in that first game. Finau has been disappointing. He needs to learn to hit forwards and not first fives.

@KiwiMurph if only they selected McLeod….

Clarke would’ve started if he wasn’t crook.

For territory, is it? Or are we just giving up the ball and giving them opportunities?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Without Dalton they'd be down by at least 50.

[gt12]

Soooo slow

[chimoaus]

Did you see how quickly we want backwards then. Leads to a useless kick.

[sparky]

England were hurt in the first half by missing 25% of their tackles. If they can improve on that, I think they'll win.

[Machpants]

Our kicking is so shit

[Chris]

Waste of ball D Mac to long on the kick

[gt12]

We don’t pressure at all. They have all the time in the world on the ball. No wonder Smith is playing well.

[Donsteppa]

Fozzie gave away a few firsts during his time. Razor might be sweating on a try from the end of the earth at this rate.
