Lol everyone talking about TJ and his service. Don’t you guys remember we have Christie on the bench.

So we shouldn't criticise Perenara's service?

I’m not saying that I’m just saying its not going to get any better.

TJ was good for most of that half yet classic fern, let’s bag a guy when our cleaners don’t do their job.

Stupid play, once the shape went it should have gone into the stands

screaming at the tv - just kick the fucken thing out we're going no where

[No Quarter]

Good half of footy though, very physical from both sides. Poised for a very interesting 2nd 40.

[Tim]

Some good signs (set piece, some carrying), but very rusty. Cleaner-carrier connection lacking. Defence poor. Lacking composure.

Let's have big second 40 without Perenara's slop.

[African Monkey]

Kick the fucken thing out.

Have to say England probably have the better of the physical exchanges. One of the big differences between super rugby and test level, which we will get used to as the season goes on no doubt.

[Tordah]

ABs play like Todd Blackadder's Crusaders. Going wide without ever sucking in defence around the ruck. They should learn a thing or two from this year's Blues. Very disappointing so far

[Frank]

Once Lomax slows, get Newell on to attack their scrum.

[MiketheSnow]

Great first half
10-10 the right score

Officiating team has been on it

I thought we were pretty direct in the middle of the park but then once we made in roads were a little too impatient and tried the long cut out.

Three game drivers should get a swift kick in the ass, what the actual fuck are they doing playing like that in our half. Get the fucking thing down their end or out.

I'm sure that razor will be telling them the same thing, not very crusader like

Doesn't reflect well on the leadership group. You'd think the experience out there would've had a calmer head.

Wouldn’t mind bringing ALB on early in the second half. Need someone at centre that puts Telea and Reece away. Ioane isn’t doing that well enough.

[nostrildamus]

Christie is slow but he might pass quicker than TJP.

TJ was fine. He made one poor pass just after being injured and oen penalty but otherwise cleared well

[sparky]

A tough game against a tough opponent. Team doesn't look Test-sharp yet but still in this.

[nostrildamus]

and a neck roll.

[ACT Crusader]

DMac the ultimate instincts player. Excellent when it’s broken-ish play, but he looked a little rushed for the most part.

Yeah he's been the weakest ab, not done anything well really

England just soak up the pressure from the AB's and win another breakdown penalty.

England much more savvy and Test sharp.
