England vs All Blacks

@kev yeah I agree. But the strategy of playing a certain way in the 1st half and changing things in the 2nd have been successful this year.
Just need to work on execution
@act-crusader yep I also think the mindset becomes too much about kicking. That grubber to blindside inside 22 was a low % play when had no position for 20 mins and behind.

@mikethesnow PC gone mad

NZ comprehensively outplayed until BB stopped kicking aimlessly.
England thoroughly deserve their lead, but will be kicking themselves it's so close after having all the first half.
Should have kept Shields off. Lawes awesome.
England will be lucky to stay at 15 if they keep on infringing.
Going to be a cracking second half.

Have to disagree he was kicking aimlessly. He wasn't kicking well (or even close), but he was clearly trying to get in behind the English to force 5m scrums. He was missing comfortably, but if he nailed one the ABs are probably going to score 75% of the time off that set piece.
Good plan, just executed shit. England tried the exact same thing early and pulled it off and are being lauded.

Ha ha. Had to laugh at jk/Wilson half time comments. He who holds the umbrella stays driest

Yeah if those grubbers stopped before the try line it would’ve been completely different

So a poorly executed kick to the right part of the field isn't aimless?
Go figure

Still think this will be a tough game for the ABs to win from here:

Can we now say that Beauden struggles a bit against a rush defence?
Standing too deep to start with IMO. But we’ve seen him start like this before with a rush defence and then change in the 2nd.

Arghhhhhhhh
