@Victor-Meldrew Huh? I have no idea who or what you're talking about haha. Too early in the morning, I guess.
Must say, I'm relieved we have Sumo Stevenson and Stephen Donald as commentators, not some TVNZ dumbo.

Average first half from NZ, better second. Game plan adjusted in the second spell.
Stand-outs for me were the Newell - Kereru-Symes combo; Finau impressive; defensively Flanders very good. Norris the weakest link in the frontrow, giving away a few scrum penalties.
Second half, more a game for the backs, with particularly Fainga'anuku and Tupaea good. Some good work from McLeod, too. Funaki definitely better than Carter. Still not convinced by Reihana. His in-game kicking is very average.
NZ may struggle against better opponents, but it's a good start of the tournament.

@Stargazer missed the game but thanks for all the updates,the TMO especially sounding like he was doing everything to derail the boys..did we find out where he was from..?

LOL, the English 4 looks like Itoje. Meanwhile their 9 is M. Vunipola.

Well that was a good follow up win over England after the GS. 6 tries to 3 helped by a England numbskull making the stupidest attempt to throw off an Irish player and landing him on his head/neck with 10 mins to go.
