England vs All Blacks

[Stargazer]

England won the first half, but we were slightly better in the second. A draw was probably the most deserved outcome, but a one point win is as close to a draw you can get and I'm glad it's us at the good side of that score!

@chris don’t feel disappointed,take the win brother

[sparky]

Great come back again, so proud. A tough, tough Test.

A great performance for 30 minutes by England. Once they get all their players back, especially the Vunipola brothers, they will be a handful.

[Mokey]

Well I never.

[Chris]

@steven-harris yep will do but I really wanted to smash their lights out

[Disgusted of TW]

Best result for England, in my view. Sets them up well for their development arc into 2019. Retallick immense for ABs

[sparky]

Take the win. Flush the dunny and move on.

[Steven Harris]

@chris this may not be a bad thing for next week against Ireland,but we will have to be way better than this

I just did. Thanks.

NZ lineout was the difference in the end.

Worrying signs that we aren't taking our try scoring chances like we were even earlier this season.

We are still vulnerable against a good kicking team and the rain was a leveller of course.

[Stargazer]

No more starts for SBW, please.

Congrats NZ.

Big commiserations England, you deserved to win that.,

Can't agree, England offered very little in attack from 25 mins on (din't score a single point from then on), lost more of their lineouts than they actually won (in the 2nd half for sure) and has Owen Farrell

[JC]

And Matt Todd retains his perfect record, never lost in black

[kiwiinmelb]

I think the positive to take out of this was the comeback , in conditions we didn’t want when weighing up our strengths compared to theirs

[sparky]

Retallick and Scott Barrett were outstanding.
