I hope TJ is ok, poor bastard if he buggered his knee.
What’s with it with Canes halfbacks and dodgy knees.
Forwards not cleaning out properly

Hard to get a pass mark on the Fern. Plenty of positives and plenty of work ons.
I have faith in Razor and the coming Dynasty 😁

@Tim said in All Blacks vs England I:
Well, no cards was a big positive.
This can't be stated enough 👍
I literally can't remember the last time the ABs achieved that. -

A lot of that was down to the Ref. One of the reasons people rate him.

Just watched this and have not read thread. Thank heaven for Sevu Reece, Telea and DMac, best 3 players on the park! But the tactics were not what I expected. Not enough pick n go down the middle in my view. And lots of half breaks but little continuity.
Pat T was a shadow of his usual self tonight. Thankfully Vaai was a dynamo when he came on. Both hookers were lively. But we could have done with Williams or Tosi rumbling it up.
Still not sure that Rieko is in good form at centre and would be happy to see Procter get a go.
And I was puzzled by a few of the refs decisions. But we probably got the rub of the green. Thought Paps would be the one penalised in that last play but no.
Great effort from England. Their loosies were great. -
@Mattasaurus Yeah, I had dark visions all week of a red card.
-
LOL, Chiefs fans are still super bitter about the final.
Papalii: actually tackles and hits rucks, unlike the other two passengers - drop him now!
Rieko Ioane: carrys well from shit ball and shit passes - not a centre
And now bagging Tuipulotu too ...
McKenzie was terrible.

Finau has been promoted too early. Everyone waits for the "smashed 'em bro" moment, forgetting his workrate isn't great. I'd pick Blackadder ahead of him.
Perofeta deserves another start. Looked silky out there.
Our scrum was excellent.
Telea gets involved, but lacks top end pace and power. I'd replace him with Clarke.
DMac has to be persisted with, but God damn he did some wayward pointless kicks.
It was Beauden Barrettesque.Vaii got involved well, but I still noticed him fold in contact a couple of times. He ran at gaps.
Our loose forwards were outplayed and we were lucky to win.
(and we still can't cope with the rush defense) -

Unfortunately the English forward pack isn't made up of only shit Australian first fives.

Razor is on the trophy march already!!!
Hillary Shield.

Haven't seen all the match yet but some of those long Barrett kicks I saw were literally match savers.
Jordie is indispensible now. -
When will we see the headlines about Razor trying to get Fozzie out of his Japanese contract…..?! 😂
