@Bones said in All Blacks v England:
@nostrildamus only thing I can think of - I had a groin injury at the start of my 20s and while not playing bulked up a fair bit, the combination resulted in having to vastly change (improve) my running style - it took a long time to get my balance back to what it was when stepping or in the tackle (I don't think it ever got as good again).
that sounds plausible!

Two red card offences from Genge that were missed.
One an assist tackle on Whitelock. No arms, head on head contact, with force.
The other a cleanout on Papali'i. Again head on head contact, no binding, with force.This has got to be my biggest gripe with the game right now. It's an absolute lottery with who gets these calls and who doesn't. Outcome altering decisions that are completely at the whim of the ref or TMO.
come on...do better...no screen shots? no red arrows? fake news

Eddie Jones considering dropping lock after humiliation by Rieko Ioane | Rugby Onslaught
Rieko Ioane went to show against England on Saturday that perfect technique always wins, regardless of how big you are...

@Bones That was a pretty impressive tackle. The English lock should be embarrassed.
Hill was far too upright, Ioane tagged him in a good tackle with good tekkers and lifted a leg (legitimately). Result as expected.
Those pop up rugby sites like Rugby Dump and Rugby Onslaught are an embarrassment. Always sensationalising the everyday stuff and giving out “bombshell news” that isn’t.
Still a good tackle mind.

Haven't looked at this specific tackle. But a one off tackle by one of the best players in the world ends your career?
Yeah, nah
Yep nd lo and behold, Hill has kept his place.
Fucking click bait shit journalism.

@Catogrande yes he might have been uptight but without knowing about these pop up sites that was a solid tackle.

Don’t worry mate, we’ve all swallowed some of that rancid bait. 🤮

100% this. So cringe worthy.

@mariner4life I think what that England match showed was that despite being very good players, the Jordie/Ioane midfield has a long way to go in knowing how to play together. As a combination it didn’t really work. I’m not a doubter in terms of it being able to work, but there were a few concerning moments.
The last match they played together they didn’t really play as a combo either. Jordie played well because he tucked the ball under the arm and had a really attacking mindset. And there was space for him to operate in (Richie was far more assertive in that match also as opposed to England).
I hope they persist with it but it was one of a number of problems in this match.

It was mentioned how both Jodie and Ioane retired, backs to the English, on the same side of a central ruck, that created the mismatch for the first English try

It's almost as though they should play them together more... and they should not shunt Jordie back to 15 every second game... and that playing Havili against Scotland was a complete and utter waste of fucking time... God that was a frustrating selection.

@No-Quarter same issue that we had with Hansen
-
Finally getting round to watching recording of second half, having been at game.
ABs definitely had mind off ball when they came out for second, but tackled well under pressure and Ioane try was cruel to end third quarter 8 -3 and in winning possie.
From 60 to 70 Codie, Tyrell and Ethan all off, Nugget off and Frizell on for Scooter. For England front row changed, Youngs and Slade on.
65 - 68 Ribbans, Willis and Nowell on.
BUT from 60 -70 nothing much changed. One bad throw by Sami, strong scrum and maul. But kicking becoming too long: can't chase effectively and England starting to make ground running balls back.
England got into 22 but stopped there, including one strong tackle from Nepo.
Driving play leads to penalty which BB renders unnecessary with droppie to end period 3-0.
So far AB subs haven't made much difference.
Now to watch last ten. Note ALB for Caleb and Hoskins for Paps at 73.
