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
Christie gets better the longer the game has run. He did well today I though against some pretty decent England forwards.

@chucknz waaaaa
Robertson is inexperienced at international level and it showed. They had a shit game plan and wer almost beaten.
You do want razor to fail, to prove he should've picked Sotutu and Akira tho, admit it - let it out, you'll feel better

Tbf the Blues back row would have been an improvement on tonight for me.

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...
Oh yeah I remember that test match because that’s the one where we had Whitelock, Retallick, Aaron Smith, Sam Cane playing. Handy bit of experience to call upon….

You have to wonder if people are suffering from collective amnesia. I'm 45 and the ABs have generally served up shite in the 1st test in every one of those years.
No need to panic just yet. -

Yeah, it wasn't great. Finau was a no show, and Ardie was still in Japan mode. Paps not exactly shining either

England should start Baby Face Nelson (ranga prop), Spencer and Finn Smith next week

@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 TEAMDon't think people are being negative about England but focussing on individual players and one sides tactics.

Yuck, didn't see anything encouraging in that performance.
First time out so hard to see anything new I guess

@KiwiMurph Yes, I am very relieved we won. I've been having a great week, a loss would have ruined it.

@Chris said in All Blacks vs England I:
Reece was excellent and Pat T
Reece was only average in the first half. But stepped up in the
2ndPT kind of the opposite
He finished the kick pass with a try.
Produced a great 50/22 from a turn and kick under pressure hardly average.
Amongst tidy up some other shit. -

That doesn't make sense.
It's a brand new coaching group, how could there not be anything new?
