All Blacks vs England 2

[chimoaus]

Fix the lineouts and exits and it’s a different game. We have been very good at the breakdown defence, Scrum is excellent.

Smith easily MOM in that first half.

Really?

Marcus Smith?

Reckon he's keeping us in it

Sure the two kicks for tries but otherwise less than ordinary

McCaw would grab this game by the scruff now.
We are going to find out

He's in the stadium and ready to jump the fence? Or is he parachuting in? Phew.

[Gunner]

Immediate must fixes for Robertson, are lineout and exit plays.

Both are as bad as it gets at the moment

Naysayers. ABs will run away with this. Keep the faith!

Great opportunity for this group to overcome a little adversity and lift in the second 40

Also for the coaches to make an early statement with an improved 2nd half

I think public confidence might need it.

Not much fucking surf-god Jesus coaching so far.

He had a better team

The guy who would help is Jerry Collins. Jerry ran on to the ball. You're not rushing the guy whonis already moving

Has Akira bought his flight ticket yet?

Beyond weird that the ABs coaches overlooked Akira.

Akira overlooked for Finau hasn't been a convincing decision given the last 100 or so minutes...

Yep, loose forwards other than Dalton haven't been too flash so far in this series.

Yep two pinpoint kicks for two tries and stopping a certain try. Keeping England in NZ half with kicking. Not sure you want much more from your 10.

Our carry game is fucking terrible.

Guys are just standing there. I don’t think any of them understand what they are trying to do.

[sparky]

England dominating territory 62% to 38%. Their kicking game is so much better than the ABs.

[chimoaus]

No changes.

Dalton has been good tonight but he was missing in that first game. Finau has been disappointing. He needs to learn to hit forwards and not first fives.

@KiwiMurph if only they selected McLeod….

Clarke would’ve started if he wasn’t crook.

For territory, is it? Or are we just giving up the ball and giving them opportunities?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Without Dalton they'd be down by at least 50.

[gt12]

Soooo slow

[chimoaus]

Did you see how quickly we want backwards then. Leads to a useless kick.

[sparky]

England were hurt in the first half by missing 25% of their tackles. If they can improve on that, I think they'll win.
