England vs All Blacks

Quick thoughts.
Bloody happy with that scoreline considering.
SBW feels career over. Crotty has been awesome since he has been on.
What the actual fuck is Squire doing? Hanging out wide doing zero. Talk about ineffectual.
DMac very impressive considering the conditions.

Have to agree with the coms in and around SBW,might be time to look somewhere else..There might be better options,no question Goodhue is the first midfield pick,,but Crotty ,ABL and Laumape are looking in front of the que

Well, well, gobshite of the day award goes to Billy Tell with his "easy peasy" prediction. My apologies to our English posters. When I saw driving rain, I thought "uh oh", this could go pear-shaped.
Right
- SBW, not a starter! Backline looks sooooo much better with Crotty and Goodhue together
- I'd be tempted to bring Todd on for Squire
Otherwise, as you were.
The England 7 has had a very good game, so too the much-maligned Itoje.
That last 5 minutes was crucial, we are right back in this.

@kev said in England vs All Blacks:
The kicking tactics have been over used this year. As a rule, it has given away possession for no advantage. Coaching issue for me rather than Beauden.
But if you look at the tests this year it has been a first half tactic mainly. Second 40 we have definitely changed it.
-
NZ comprehensively outplayed until BB stopped kicking aimlessly.
England thoroughly deserve their lead, but will be kicking themselves it's so close after having all the first half.
Should have kept Shields off. Lawes awesome.
England will be lucky to stay at 15 if they keep on infringing.
Going to be a cracking second half.
-
Speed is our best friend. Reckon we need to really ramp it up in the 2nd half. Bring on Todd for Squire, and Richie M, to add some spice.
-
@act-crusader our first half’s have been average. So not sure you can say kicking has worked.
-
@mikethesnow yeah Lawes and Itoje have been excellent.

In this game , the conditions suggest it’s a day for kicking , but the quality of the kicks were shit

Ha ha. Had to laugh at jk/Wilson half time comments. He who holds the umbrella stays driest 😆
-
Whoever said they thought it was brilliant from Read to take the scrum - I really don't think he had any choice. It was simply score a try here or be pushed out of the game. Now we have given ourselves a chance. That's all we need

Not being funny but wtf is Habana on the sidelines calling this match
