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

Let's hope the English have tired themselves out with that massive defensive effort they have put in so far.

Still think this will be a tough game for the ABs to win from here:

@sparky I back the boys to get us home

[JC]

Ok, here we go. Let the forwards do their jobs.

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.

[ACT Crusader]

Arghhhhhhhh

[No Quarter]

Fark great break, DMac is on fire!

He's been poor, TJP finishes that every time.

[sparky]

Not impressed with Aaron Smith in this game.

[Tim]

Absolutely bombed by Smith.

Well it wouldn't be without aim, would it? Aimless would be Stephen Donald chip kicking his way out of his 22 or cross field kick-passes with nothing on in your own half...

[No Quarter]

Starting this half strong but need to take our chances.
