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?
Totally, but these guys have been around long enough to just do it

Who would be the next halfback if Perenara is ruled out
Fakatava?
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
Reece has a good fast pass so no he can't be an AB 9

Same the other way D Mac timed out on a sitter
Inexcusable. Did no one in the coaching setup brief the players on the shot-clock?

Both Christie and DMac have cloth ears

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.
Just because he doesn't possess Aaron Smith's pass doesn't mean he didn't play well in other areas.
His box kicking was good and the chase (when there was one) put enormous pressure on England. Helped ensure we played in the right part of the field.

Far prefer us kicking it long.
Most of last 4 years we have been doing own half dinks, hospitals and hail marys -
Was pretty impressed with our high ball receptions.
England kicked a lot (like us) and between Perofeta, Jordie, DMac - we really diffused that tactic.

I reckon Savea is partially deaf, in interviews he is always struggling to hear.

@Victor-Meldrew if Dmac had nailed his we would have won by more
If, but, maybe
Why is this forum so negative
England are a GOOD TEAM -

@chimoaus said in All Blacks vs England I:
It would be interesting to see how often we went backwards when the halfback waits for a second before making a choice. England just hammered us anytime we did the out the back move to a. Static forward. We went backwards a lot it seemed.
I think that was a massive factor in the game.... Two very similar halves in TJ and Christie.... Cortez will make a big difference imo

Izzy Dagg looks drunk

Had we played Tonga and won by 70 we would be none the wiser.
We tonked world No.1, Ireland in the 1st Test in 2022 and no one complained. Worked out well...

They should known it would have been on the scoreboard counting down.
