All Blacks Vs England, Twickenham

Couldn't be arsed getting up to watch this crop of ABs...15 mins into replay and I've had enough...
We are not developing enough new talent, BB and Ardie are well beyond their used by dates. Cane not quite as bad.... But worth a mention too.
End of year tours were once used to to give new blood a chance...
I had really hoped for better from Razor this year
-
Already 1 win more on tour than some had been predicting in the past week...

Close thing, but I'm hoping that win is a turning point and we'll get ourselves up for the Oirish game. In fact i'd be sweet if they blew it in the last 5 minutes like today.

On that I'll disciplined PoS display, Ireland sand France will chew us up and spit us out. But hopefully we've learnt...
... Yeah rightI dunno. Discipline was utter shite and arguably the worst this year, but that was a huge improvement in the last 40 minutes compared to recent crap served up - we didn't actually go completely to pieces and played really well for at least 10-15 minutes.

Back handed compliments. The bar is so low for the ABs right now....

3-0 vs England in 2024. Each one could have gone the other way. Happy days.
Happiest man in England tonight, Razor. -

Our lineout is crap, leadership is crap, composure is crap, discipline is crap, inside backs crap
Still cant wait for the next game. Bring it on. -

@canefan what if, they somehow manage to win the next 2 playing so ugly...learning to win ugly will surely lead to some 'prettier' wins down the road?

Really??

Only time I remember seeing him was when he was literally bawling to the ref. Plenty of outstanding England players today. Maro not even in my top 5.

God bless @Jet
On my way into a gig now in Madrid.
A lot of liquor on board , with aforementioned 40th looming.
Will log in “mañana” my time and take my medicine.
Love you all.

Still cant wait for the next game. Bring it on.@BerniesCorner It was noticeable how much George was communicating clearly with Gardner, developing good rapport. S Barrett very few times, just seems absent, probably needing to concentrate on his own game as he has been a little flat recently.

Yes, we know they are a work in progress. And an ugly win is still a win, hopefully it can be a confidence building block
-
@Jet No chance. England didn't look like scoring all game. They were heading for a complete drubbing before that intercept. If that doesn't happen we probably finish the game 20 up.
@kpkanz said in All Blacks Vs England, Twickenham:

Oh yes they did. Every 10 mins or so thanks to our utterly shit discipline.
-
After not playing for 6 weeks we get one we shouldn't have, the guys will take that, put it through the system.
Sititi doesn't miss a step after not playing!! thought BB kept us in it with a couple of touches, but also put us under pressure.
Better final 20!! 10-3 to ABs!! -
England were so military medium it wasn’t funny; they barely threatened the NZ line; were outscored 3 tries to 1; and yet despite being bloody rubbish were cms away from winning that one
Be happy with the win
But don’t be happy with that performance
-
Props to Telea, Cane and Big Patty - and Sititi is a beast. That was ugly, but what a great win. I do worry we lack a bit of game management/technical planning in our coaching set up. Some exciting young players coming through though. Well played England, really enjoy watching them play - silly move taking Smith off. He’s dynamite.

It’s ok, he’s just caretaking for Sititi in 2 years

On paper you’ve got your win, but England had a kick to win with 90 seconds on the clock and bottled it.
Let’s get real here.

Agreed, for the marketing it was a poor performance but we take the win and move on.

To be fair he actually is massive.
