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

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

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

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

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.

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.
-
England is a very well-trained team, competent and aggressive across most forward aspects, attacking lineout and some dangerous backs. Fitness seems to have improved. I'm not sure where that leaves us judging the ABs-some players looked very average and I am not sure that was just because England are so competitive. I also thought there were frailties in the English backline it took BB to unravel...
-
Finau will find his feet. All good 6s take time. Kaino took a long time to be Kaino.

Good win!!! Under the pump and the bench changes it. Vaai is the guy. BBarrett is not dead yet, ratima showed what we can look like with quick ball.
The loosies are a mess. Dalton fucking good tonight. Finau in this state is worthless. Problem is he's the only fucking tall loosie we picked so yeah, fuck the lineout I guess. They're not important anyway aye?
Huge work ons everywhere. Backline is disjointed at first phase and open field. Defense still so passive!!
Still, great win over a good side. 2-0 is a nice result
