Is Jordan back soon enough? Caleb? Who else would you bring in if they aren't ready?
Roigard for Christie.

@Chris That's the forecast according to the BBC for next Saturday.
Surprised it's not going to be warmer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5391811
Yeah I thought it might be hotter from what I remember being there a couple of years ago.
oh the humidity!
Yeah I know about humidity where I live.

Let's hear no more BS about Beauden Barrett being finished. He won that game.
Ratima looked good.
Totally agree. What makes a team in the long run is tough tests like this. England are a very good side.
BB was fantastic tonight as was Ratima when he came on for his" FIRST " test. Outstanding

Not bad for 3 weeks together really.
Not really buying that. Apart from the scrum, the forwards were shit and that's the same forwards coach and pretty much the same players as the RWC squad. In many ways we're going backwards.
But credit to Robertson for going back to last year's dual playmaker tactics to get the win.

SoCal in summer, I’m surprised it’s not hotter.
It’s also a fucking awesome place to go. Love it there

Gutted, good first XV but our bench is weak and our accuracy is terrible when in good positions at the moment and it’s cost us in both tests. We desperately need to find a tight head from somewhere.
All Blacks did what they do, scrum half change was critical, Barret was class. Opportunity missed but I’m looking forward to the November test.

Our counter rucking was pretty good.

The very poor pattern of out the back to a solo forward hitting it up might work in Super Rugby but it has no place in test rugby.
England keep it close to the ruck running off nine or forward to forward. You don’t see them passing well behind gainline for a league style hit up.
And yet that’s what created a lot of our chances
When we passed it to a back that is…. -

England are a good team, first 60 they were the better team.

Scrums were great. Tackling was good.
Except from Jordie who missed many tackles including being palmed off about three tackles in a row.

@Mattasaurus I’ve watched this forum get more and more cynical year on year.
We will never be as dominant as most expect us to be in this era of rugby.
Enjoy a bloody good win where we went to a plan B and it bloody worked
