All Blacks v England
-
Fantastic first half at the end of a very long season. We came out there and just smashed them and got the upper hand immediately. Our pack has been very strong and our backs look dangerous.

F**k this is good

@No-Quarter Otherwise he's been shit and we need a new center for the World Cup.

He has made 5 errors in first half.

ABs looked good while the ref was smashing England but once he started targeting both teams errors have crept into their game. England not out of this yet.

That was a great first 40. Pack magnificent. Defence great. Attack not bad. Ioane no butter and Taylor no squint and we are further ahead. Man I’m seriously impressed by lomax.
Also I applaud free kicks for slow play. Sure it cost us there but teams are warned if raynal has the whistle.

Now they've got to work on limiting the random injury stoppages.
As someone pointed out above, we go to one lineout with no interaction and England player dies and takes minutes to be resuscitated.

You can’t complain with that! Yes some mistakes but it is a high pressured test match. Papaalli’s work rate and impact is fantastic, seems comfortable at level and just adds a new dimensions to pack which means you can play Barrett at 6. Lo max as well but most happy to see Taylor with a bit more confidence, again he has made mistakes but he just has a bounce he didn’t have before. Will be a good 2nd halfdon’t care how much we win by, just win!

LCD should have been penalised twice for no arms daisy cutter tackles. Genge should have seen red for the no arms head first tackle on Whitelock.
And yet we’ve had the ref whistle a turn for marginal offsides that have had no effect.
@junior agree I noticed how much they do not use arms in tackles as second tackler and at rucks.
