England vs All Blacks

bit of a loooong wait for this match, in real time and the build up this week!
Hate to think what next week will be like if we get rolled, shades of 2007?

@mikethesnow haha that would suggest England are going to score a try?
I think (think) @mikethesnow was suggesting a margin between 16 and 21. Five points isn't a 'canter'.

Interesting Shag saying , we want to play two playmakers ,
The argument he makes seems to make more sense with Beaudy at fullback and Richie and first-five. Having two points of attack to take the defence's focus off one is a great idea in theory, but if the English defence start forcing Barrett to make errors I expect McKenzie to as well. When the poor option taking happens it seems to be contagious with those two.
I suspect that might be the longer term plan , but want to ease Richie into it ,
In this game he will get game time at 10 , Beaudy back to FB ,
I would not be surprised to see him starting next year and McKenzie back to the bench

@mn5 pretty sure when Ben Blair (our last midget 15) played at Twickers we lost...

Yes, rather worrying.
Also the following year when Caleb Ralph had a shocker too.
