@act-crusader our first half’s have been average. So not sure you can say kicking has worked.
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 😆
-
@kev that first 30 minutes or so England’s kick and chase game was bloody impressive ,where our kick game was either rubbish,or they dealt with it..both their tries were also well taken
-
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

@mikethesnow PC gone mad

@act-crusader yep I also think the mindset becomes too much about kicking. That grubber to blindside inside 22 was a low % play when had no position for 20 mins and behind.

NZ comprehensively outplayed until BB stopped kicking aimlessly.
Have to disagree he was kicking aimlessly. He wasn't kicking well (or even close), but he was clearly trying to get in behind the English to force 5m scrums. He was missing comfortably, but if he nailed one the ABs are probably going to score 75% of the time off that set piece.
Good plan, just executed shit. England tried the exact same thing early and pulled it off and are being lauded.

Yeah if those grubbers stopped before the try line it would’ve been completely different

So a poorly executed kick to the right part of the field isn't aimless?
Go figure

Can we now say that Beauden struggles a bit against a rush defence?
Standing too deep to start with IMO. But we’ve seen him start like this before with a rush defence and then change in the 2nd.
