All Blacks vs England I

[Chris]

England are very good side.

[chimoaus]

Plenty to work on is an understatement.

[Machpants]

Ref have English every chance at breakdown, some of the abs really aren't test match players

[MadGav]

Good tough win. Not sure what some of you expect for a new team, first test against good opposition.

[Tordah]

bring back foster

Papalii. :thumbs_up: Only loose forward who did anything

It was Vaa'i lmao

Yep he has been very good

[Canes4life]

Far out. Not sure what to make of that. Will take the W.

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent test match.

@Yeetyaah you posted and deleted this:

Fuck yeah Dalton

Papalii counter rucked excellently there. He's the only loose forward who hit rucks.

[Mattasaurus]

England way better than NZ in general thought...

Good first up win, fought for it and will only get better from here

[No Quarter]

We finished the stronger, had some big calls go against us but held on anyway. England were very good but ran out of puff in the end. Aumua was huge, he and Taylor are an excellent 1-2 punch.

[Damo]

I think ref was good. Couple of cock-ups at the end but all ends well.

No idea what that last PK was, other than ref realising he had cocked up in the previous ruck.

[Victor Meldrew]

Jeez, that was fucking dire.

Hope this isn't the reverse of the start of 2022 and it's really nothing more than rust.

[mariner4life]

Dalton Papali’i is not an international standard openside.

I see little difference to be honest. If anything we’ve gone backwards.

[antipodean]

That was a lucky win. Not impressed by the selection and coaching coming in to this, but will give leeway for the short build-up.

Refereeing was mystifying.

Tele'a and DMac to be replaced for Eden Park.

[BerniesCorner]

Victor has Razor got enough experience?

[sparky]

Just.

Take the lucky win. Flush the dunny. Move on.

[booboo]

So he is the Messiah, not just a very naughty boy
