All Blacks vs England I
-
@African-Monkey Failed to use it from scrum. Got caught at base of ruck. And took ages to pass. Not all his fault but needs to be quicker to make decisions IMO. Not bad at all but room for improvement.

Maybe time for Sititi

Just because he doesn't possess Aaron Smith's pass doesn't mean he didn't play well in other areas.
Not even close. That's a big issue
TJ can fluff around at times but this half he was much better than OK

Great refereeing I thought.
On the whole yeah.
Disagreed with some (first scrum pen Smith missed for example), but think both sides would have had issues.

Razor is explaining tactics and JK has the frown of an elderly person who has never heard of such newfangled things..

Am I the only one who thought Christie was alright off the bench? Thought he controlled things and helped us close the game out well.

He had a couple of very good phases especially in the lead up to that penalty kick (that DMac never took). But too much standing around for my liking.

Thought Christie was very good 👍

Love it how Razor was bricking it at the end.

man, Razor's PR work is on point, down on the field with the sideline crew, talking through game tape - love it.
Fozzie did that too ...

Who would be the next halfback if Perenara is ruled out
Fakatava?
The other player starting with F for me.

Please no, he's awful this season. Reece would be great there no shit, he does well and is often there when the nine didn't make it

@Machpants said in All Blacks vs England I:
Christie was fine, he just (same as TJ) needs to act rather than fuck about. Bullet pass Smith is missed, but more that fact he rarely wasted time at the ruck. Just play and don't wait
How was Smith able to do that, did he just have a better feel for where the game was going, trust himself to make instant calls?
