Not sure why Ioane is being criticized. Defended well, and consistently got over the advantage line from shit ball.
The calls constantly come from people who have no idea how a centre should play. Dollars to donuts if he'd taken other options every time they complained they'd bitch about the predictable outcome too. Case in point when he made the good decision to hold the ball rather than shovel it to marked players in worse positions.

I thought his defence was outstanding.

@BerniesCorner
Ratima should start at 9 until Roigard's fit again.6 is an issue if they are not willing to pick Akira.

Great, the modern day Justin Marshall. Pity the rest of the team has the skill to burn other teams when we can play with pace. If defence is what we want in that position, get another loose forward on.

What’s up with Christie? Just doesn’t have the game understanding? Lack of combo with Dmac? It was honestly bizarre how static the ball was. Almost like an American Football play.
It's just who he is. He's not a player who has fast service or an accurate pass.
He is a good defender and a good kicker

Lol - he's a halfback.

Aumua Newell stepped up. Vaai yelling after scrum win. Awesome

Don't underetimate Vaa'i's work in that scrum either. AB scrum never suffers when he there either. (spoken/wriiten by an ex-lock of course)
But all 3 Barrett boys were bloody good. Jordie is the glue at 12 I reckon.

If you watch the very first phase play we got in second half. We have ball on half way. They do an out the back play to a static forward that goes backwards. They then pass further back to Dmac who clears from just outside the 22 and England get ball back around half way.
This is the one of the biggest problem we need to fix.

I agree. It frustrates the fuck out of me - halfbacks who can't do their core roles.

Thanks England for a competitive series and well done Borthwick on fixing the abortion you inherited. If they keep improving (and they've got some very good talent in that team) they'll be a real threat in 27.

I’m a Smith fan after that, he was excellent on attack

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.
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.

This is one of the most idiotic comments I have seen on this forum and that is in along history of idiotic comments.
Perofeta clearly screwed up, put himself under pressure and used his footwork to get out of it. It had nothing to do with the game plan, it was all skill execution and pressure. Plan A would have been to kick it.
