TJP should not have kicked the ball away.

Dumb

He gave them the match. ABs had to hold onto the ball

Toddy

All Blacks just don't know how to defend when the attacking team start using dummy runners.

What the fuck Happened. AB went to sleep

same thing all season. Rocks and diamonds.

THat said, there's great building blocks there. Solid midfield, quality in the forward pack -- it's just mental now. Very much on the upward curve with the new coaching setup. I'm not disappointed at all

If you'd told me we'd draw against England on the EOYT, I'd have been more than happy.

Stargazer

Really disappointed that we gave it away. BB, take a long hard look at yourself. That comeback started with you.

McLeod OUT

71 min of very good and 9min of learning dealing with pressure. BB not to blame for yellow I think 10/10 last defenders would do the same. Just need to learn how to cope under pressure. That is about as close to a WC game or qtr as you get. They looked gasssed at end after yellow. What is showed is you out AbS under pressure by running and attacking, not kicking. Anyway is what it is.

Billy Tell

At least we didn’t lose.

Those last 10 minutes after the first 70. So frustrating.

New defense coach and a pledge not to pick Perenara ever again please.

This sums it up for me.

Crap defense at the end, we seemed to be two men down n the backs. Did not take some of our chance tbf neither did England. Complete failure by Mounga to lead the team around the park.

sparky

Eddie Jones has done us an enormous favour there. Our current defence is no where near good enough for the last ten minutes of a RWC knockout. A big rethink of that area is needed.

mencey

AB long way to go B4 next year. We are so fucking dumb. In the old days we would have shut that game down. We have to make some changes for next year. Very disappointing !!

MiketheSnow

That was worse than us losing to Georgia

Biggest choke since Michael Hutchense

Tordah

England were never going to kick in the last 10 minutes, always going wide with the ball and AB defence KNEW that yet still conceded easy meters after easy meters. Epic choke.

I thought he actually got up and did okay. Certainly wasn't as clear cut as the comms said

Can't really be blamed for the crap defence and loss of focus. That said, I actually think BB is cooked as starter for the big games when WJ comes back.

Yeah I agree, BB for impact going forward.

Yeetyaah

People on Social media are blaming TJ for the last box kick . Reality is BB got fairly carded and the defence crumbled in the final 10.

No Quarter

Haha come on, your boy Mo'unga missed touch twice from penalties, the second one ended up with England camped on our line when we should have been on theirs. You can't single one player out for that, we looked knackered at the end of a long season and England finished very strong.

Our kick options are terrible. Barely kicked for touch when that's what was required

Whoever is the Argie kicking coach is - SOS!
