England vs All Blacks

@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.

[Damo]

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

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.

[Steven Harris]

On the plus side fellas,we did keep them scoreless for the last hour..!

[Rembrandt]

we'll take that! Quite a few options for mom
Retallick, Big Karl, Crotty, Goodhue, DMac, S Barrett, thought Beaudy was very solid too

[Chris]

@akan004 all true brother but just wanted to spank them to prove a point

[SynicBast]

I'm so glad we overrate Brodie as much as we do...imagine if he lived up to his rating.

[Stargazer]

I kind of feel that age is catching up on SBW and A Smith, but especially SBW. Following NMS in his tracks ...

[Machpants]

Yeah first ab at weather game for a while, and we got our first drop goal since...?

Nah. Celebrate fellas. Plenty of young guys in our team that haven’t played England at Twickers and won before.

What I enjoyed was that this test was unlike anything we’ve dealt with this year - conditions, opposition tactics etc - so a great learning for the team.

I never smoke cigarettes inside the house (not even the ‘11 Final, which I watched from outside chain-smoking). Today i puffed two in the last 10 minutes. I think I’ll step outside for the relief-cigarette now.
