All Blacks Vs England, Twickenham

[ACT Crusader]

Ratima is taking too long.

[Jet]

We work really hard for our points all year and the opposition just need to keep it in hand for a few phases and they score or get a pen.

We don’t build pressure. Get yellow cards earned etc.

We score by accident rather than design.

[MajorPom]

TNT comms really? Red said ball out, it’s open season.

[Jet]

Jordan is our FB going forward.

Conversation ended.

[sparky]

Gee, the English commentators like a moan.

[KiwiMurph]

Decent first scrum Williams

[sparky]

BB hardly shining so far.

[MiketheSnow]

Gardner already showing his worth

England play a real spoiling style. Very good at being disruptive at the breakdown. If we can work out our clean out and attack line realignment, we should be good.

We can’t afford non balling playing forwards to get the ball at first receiver. (Ie Cane)

I am so uncomfortable about it all.

One of my favourite ever players, and I’d have launched him 4 years ago.

Balls out but it isn’t?

There are special rules around the breakdown, no? Even if the ball is out, you can't dive on it (which effectively makes it impossible to turnover by catching the opposition off guard, but the law's the law...).

Playing the ball on the floor

Clean outs all over the place

[KiwiMurph]

Good replays on the coverage

[sparky]

England win a scrum penalty. They'll love that.

Agree.

And I thought on the replay that the ball was knocked out of Ioane’s hand rather than lost forward.

[sparky]

But Marcus Smith misses touch.

[Victor Meldrew]

ALB on. Reiko blood injury.
