@Mattasaurus is agnostic?

Put Ioane on one wing

[stodders]

@chimoaus Patty would be great off the bench in last 20-30 mins. He’s not a starter. ABs have a lot of work to do on their lineouts and finding someone to partner Barrett long term.

Savea, Sititi and Paps is the loose forward trio for me.

I think Savea got one big turnover at the end? Why cant he do that off the bench?

Sititi has the energy.

Ha, then he was pretty much a non-entity all match?

Massive work rate. Look at his super numbers and it’s insane.

Yeah it was Aumua.

England getting better respect today ... bloody good team. Itoje was massive.

Would like to see a change at 6...not going to lose anything by trying others. Also wouldn't mind seeing Procter start with ALB on bench.

[frugby]

Time to jettison the Ginger one.

[kev]

I think they have the right players. The tactics were better tonight. Execution needs work.

Dalton is a 6 in 7 clothing, we don't have a fully functioning 6 or 7 (perhaps because Dalton is doing all the tackling), Patty isn't up to it, injury or being up against Itoje, Perofeta/BB double act working, and we actually have a winger problem! I thought Ioane played well and when he went off JB's game went downhill. Not sure what is happening there. We have such a good bench scrumming team now but those lineouts may have worsened since test 1. I'm not looking at Razor for lost sheen but Ryan.

Camera just panned on JB and he had a pack on his leg and clarat pouring out of his head. Reckon maybe he should have been pulled instead of Ioane. Was completely farked. Still bad misses though.

Two different trophies. This was one for just this series

[Donsteppa]

Razor will have to learn fast that top level tests are not Super Rugby. He got an early taste back when the Crusaders didn't fire a shot on the Lions tour match, but I'm not sure if he's learnt the lesson yet... Bledisloe will tell.

[KiwiMurph]

Ratima clearly was the best 9 of the 3 AB halfbacks during Super Rugby.

Coaches so unwilling to give a player a chance

[chimoaus]

They will need a bigger book for all the learnings after those two tests.
