All Blacks vs England I

[No Quarter]

Very bad goal kicking from both sides tonight

[MiketheSnow]

Great Test match rugby from England

[sparky]

Great Try, England.

Big test for the new coaching panel and how they use their bench now.

Telea has been very poor without the ball too

Telea was right in the grove a while back. It seems to have deserted him now

Agreed. Narawa would be better

Papalii is not a test player

Hard disagree.

[MadGav]

I dont think we've played badly at all

[Victor Meldrew]

@MadGav said in All Blacks vs England I:

to be fair, this is why we usually play fiji or samoa as a first test. England are a good test side.

True, but people were expecting so much more.

[Donsteppa]

We seemed to be missing an entire forward pack on defence on the lead up to that England try.

[MiketheSnow]

Could easily be 23-10 and a very different hurdle for NZ

[No Quarter]

Losing Clarke to injury was a blow

[KiwiMurph]

Telea is awful in space.

[Chris]

Great work Reece terrible from Telea looks slow.

[sparky]

The problem is there is such an enormous gap now between Supersnore and the intensity of Test Rugby.

[Tim]

Our cleanout is shit. Players coming off their lines to help out now.

[PN]

Bit of a step up from rolling the Aussies clubs in the Hermit Kingdom Cup

What like 2003 when England beat us in Wellington test 1?

The back three is unbalanced. Clarke would be aan answer

[Victor Meldrew]

Opportunity here...and we concede the lineout

[KiwiMurph]

So our 3rd best back tonight gets subbed.

[antipodean]

Taylor the best Crusader out there by some margin. Having a big game.
