Yuck, didn't see anything encouraging in that performance.
First time out so hard to see anything new I guess
That doesn't make sense.
It's a brand new coaching group, how could there not be anything new?

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

@Chris Yeah, Reece did all he could in first half. Very good game.
Fucked if I know what some people are looking at.
He had a VG 2nd half. His try in the first I could ahev scored. He wasn't poor but just OK

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….
Pity we didn't call on for the next two Tests, eh?

Jesus first time I’ve seen that.
Bernard Foley in the Bledisloe.
This was different as it was a goal kick. A new low…

As a positive
I reckon Narawa or Clarke would have made far better use of the space Telea had.
Yep 100%

@Tim said in All Blacks vs England I:
@chimoaus We don't have to go full Cotter-ball, but we only used our carriers up the middle about once, and that resulted in Reece's early try. We did not put pressure on the defence with carrying for most of the game. It was side to side.
We did it out the back a few times or one or two from the ruck and just went backwards. Telea did actually do a few pick and goes himself. Clearly it’s a balance but the team needs to adapt.

Finau is young and early in his career, he should be a bench / squad player at this stage. Losing Akira was a big blow to the ABs this year.

Roigard, Clarke and Jordan would add a lot to our back line
