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.

Two tests against a good English team have been a good intro, team showed calmness at the end which is a positive -

We are so loose, when Perofeta ran from his line when he had plenty of time to kick I think he showed what the game plan was.
That’s going to fail spectacularly eventually.
Out forwards are making hardly any metres as well, maybe Patrick a few times. Nothing around the ruck to suck in the defence.
Also took until BB coming on to move the team around the field like a real ten.

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.

Thought their halfback was very good too. Smith superb with his organisation, kicking and variation.

Not sure why Ioane is being criticized. Defended well, and consistently got over the advantage line from shit ball.

He had a fucking good game considering what he was given. Couple of hard carries, some good defence as well.

We are going to get humbled in Africa if we play like that again.
If we take that lineout to Africa we'll get kicked to death.

Yeah I'm no Ioane fluffer, but he was fine. Problem was lineout sand dumb decisions, not Reiko. I definitely want to see proctor though, in SR a better centre, defence awesome and much better distribution than Ioane

And now for the fluff on field interview with the hard hitting and insightful Sky Sports panel....

Sir JK should go into political reporting he’s so hard hitting.

Nice to see Joe Wheeler back after his racist rant.

Well played NZ
As in the first test it was there for England but when it mattered they didn't capitalise on territory or possession.
NZ had the far better bench and it counted
Great teams find a way to win

This isn't a great team Mike.
Far from it. -

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
