@mariner4life Yes!

@Darth-Sader GOAT still looks fit.

Newell with Aumua next to him is lethal.
Aunua has made a difference since he's been on. VG impact

Hard win, rusty as fuck and England very good. Especially defence, we still don't know how to deal with rush defence, almost a decade and still haven't figured it. Need more munters like aumua, people who can make fucking metres up the middle
Totally agree. Well said that man !!

bring back foster
And we would lose by 30
I see little difference to be honest. If anything we’ve gone backwards.
Backwards from the peak of RWC, with less than two weeks to prep. No surprise.

Am liking Jamie George.
Nice bloke.
Why can't he be a fluffybunny so I hate him?

Sounds like Sititi if they can develop him
-
I hate we still are not a turnover threat. Teams keep the ball for phase after phase

Savea is a great player, but when he plays so loose... It utterly fucks the make up of our loosies..
IMO he just doesn't get involved enough early in the game. Should be on the bench to wreak havoc in the second half.

Well done NZ
I called England winning the series 2-0 a month or so back and they should have been going to Eden Park 1 ahead with their tails up
The door should have been shut with 20 mins to go
NZ didn't panic, played the long game knowing England can't score from deep, and got tighter and more precise as the match wore on
Thoroughly deserved their win
NZ will now win the series 2-0
Comfortably

That George Furbank is fucking handy.
-
We won, be happy. Overall looks like we trying to find new game plan. Thought our tactical kicking was poor compared to English who had good plan. Noticed one change was how they seemed to use 9 as like first receiver in general play. A few times FC got the pass from winger and had no idea when facing rush defence. Happens more than once so looked like a plan. Interesting to see how coaching staff adapt

That was a lucky win. Not impressed by the selection and coaching coming in to this, but will give leeway for the short build-up.
Refereeing was mystifying.
Tele'a and DMac to be replaced for Eden Park.
I'll be very interested if they stick with DMac. Great on fielding the high kicks and up and down on other roles.
I'm still unsure on BB at 15.
Christie played as per usual.
JB played very well, Ioane not so, Aumua, Patty T, I thought Newell was great..and Vaa'i surprised me. Finau looked hesitant in parts. I'll be interested what people thought of Ardie's game.
We look like we aren't being led very well? -
9 is still an issue, Finlay just takes way too long to clear. No sure if that messy ball from the ruck or he isn’t getting the calls from 10. Any time the 9 takes ages the defence just eat metres. We need to figure out a way to not lose so much ground with the ball when going out the back.

Our best - Scott Barrett, Reece, Taylor - all Cantabrians as it happens.
Nah - Jordie had a brilliant game.
