Territory must be heavily in England’s favour this half. We really have not spent much time in Englands half.

England's defence has been impressive. They're also more effective at ruck time.

Jeez, I hope what we've seen so far this game is just rust.

Last time we had a great first up test was versus Irish

Newell.

[chimoaus]

@Victor-Meldrew I think it’s more a reflection of a well oiled English defence and us not being able to deal with rush defence. Losing lineouts doesn’t help.

Big scrum Newell

AB's are often a bit rubbish in the first game.

I think we haven't been too bad. This England team is playing well.

[Tim]

Thank god for the scrum.

I havent seen the second half, but our attack is not set up for Dmac. We need a much more limited and controlled 10. If we emphasize a carry / clean game we can play to his strengths, but side to side will make him worse.

Newell with Aumua next to him is lethal.

[KiwiMurph]

Promising scrum involving Vaai

[Donsteppa]

Do our backs call under the high ball?

What happened then?

[antipodean]

Tele'a has not had a good night - his stepping hasn't created room for himself or anyone else. His lack of pace has been a problem too.

[Chris]

Bad from Amua

[chimoaus]

Fuck me 3 lost lineouts hot on attack could lose this for us.

Exactly, i take the rusty

[Mattasaurus]

FFS it's just not that hard to throw lineouts

[His Bobness]

Well, the Corey Flynn coaching clinic doesn’t seem to have worked.

Do you think we need to bring in E Blackadder for the next test? Well for the first ten mins of it anyway before he gets injured.

I do think EB's industry would have gone well here.
