Pissing down with rain in Cornwall. I think I'll go outside and clear that blocked drain inspection chamber nearest to the septic tank

Better than watching the highlights.

highlights?

[Donsteppa]

It must be cricket season now.

[MadGav]

@Machpants thought I’d try 🍻

[Baron Silas Greenback]

Best team won on the day.

[Jonty lean]

@Damo l don't know why bueduen Barrett did stupid trip kicks why???

[Tim]

I'm just fucking stunned that the idiot dropped Sam Cane and Rieko Ioane! First names on the team sheet.

@MadGav this is nothing , you shouldve seen 07

[Bovidae]

The disappointing thing to me was that it was the more experienced players who had poor games (e.g. Taylor, Whitelock, BBBR, BB).

I'm not interested in 3rd/4th games so fuck that shit!

[Kirwan]

At least the should end Fozzie as coach.

[MadGav]

Beaten by the English in two world cups in one year. Ouch.

[Tim]

@Kirwan You'd hope so.

Especially after Bridge managed to look shithouse vs Ireland last week

I would struggle to think of any AB who outplayed his Pom opposite.

Yep. Reece & Goodhue were bloody good.

None. Maybe Goodhue.

[Winger]

Well down to England. easily the better team

But NZ were awful. The new players who were brought in recently (Bridge, Reece. Barrett at 6, Mo’unga) all looked a bit ordinary when put under pressure. Other who were not great include Taylor and Goodhue. Taylor was surprising out of sorts and Goodhue doesn't look fully fit still

That was hard to watch. I hate seeing the AB's lose, but to be dominated in such a way was horrible to see. Congrats to the Poms, well played, they deserve the win.
