All Blacks vs England I
-
DMac the ultimate instincts player. Excellent when it’s broken-ish play, but he looked a little rushed for the most part.

Wouldn’t mind bringing ALB on early in the second half. Need someone at centre that puts Telea and Reece away. Ioane isn’t doing that well enough.
Yeah he's been the weakest ab, not done anything well really
-
@Victor-Meldrew said in All Blacks vs England I:
England just soak up the pressure from the AB's and win another breakdown penalty.
England much more savvy and Test sharp.

TJ was good for most of that half yet classic fern, let’s bag a guy when our cleaners don’t do their job.
TJ was fine. He made one poor pass just after being injured and oen penalty but otherwise cleared well
Yeah not sure what others are watching aye. He was one of our best in the first half.

Christie is slow but he might pass quicker than TJP.
The first part is spot on

@Frank said in All Blacks vs England I:
Luckily for England, their scrum has firmed up.
The youngster has done well
He's been ahead of Marler at club level this season
It's starting to show

Why are we still fucking playing? Get the ball out you idiots.
Any other time in the game we'd have hoofed it down there, but we had possession so they try to score.
Anyway, flattering to England, but they're doing enough to be even, even though they shouldn't be.
-
Telea’s non-chase of the high ball has been ratshit
-
-
I'll be surprised to see TJ come back on from halftime
-
Pity we don't have access to real time stats. Some more carries and cleans by our loose forwards would help.
-
And First World problems ...
... am forced to watch this on my phone. Which is bad enough.
But the kicker is the display on Stan means the clock gets cut off by the top menu bar on my phone, and I don't know how to get rid of it.

I'm not sure Rieko is the 13 you want if you want to play this style
If you want to play direct Vern ball then yep.
It would have been nice to see Proctor on in the second half but I understand why they were more conservative for this test.
-
Perofeta has gone better than I expected, and TJ has gone exactly how I expected. Time to get Christie on and get some smarter decisions going on out there. Both their passes are slow, but Christie is actually quick.
Loose forward trio is not working, Dalton is tackling well, savea is going missing as usual when up against a combative pack and Finau is MIA.
Locks are going great though.
And DMac is awesome under the high ball

Lol everyone talking about TJ and his service. Don’t you guys remember we have Christie on the bench.
So we shouldn't criticise Perenara's service?
Course not. He's a Hurricane.
