Yeah. It was the relief as much as anything.
Firstly we weren’t shit. Then we won.

[Tim]

@Kirwan Starting at fullback. Would not have been a world beater, but would have been tidy and provided a useful calm voice.

I wanted him at 15 and Barrett at 10.

@Kirwan Absolutely mate. Obvious mistakes that were baffling. How many times did we hear about the importance of experience under pressure, then it was dumped. Very 2003.

Yep, except Franks though. The exception that proves the rule

[Tim]

@Luigi Your team was bloody good, but they bombed some opportunities.

Far from shit, England were awesome.

Kept the wrong players too long, got rid of the right ones too soon. Pretty much sums up the last 4 years

[Mokey]

@PN So we know who we need to fucking hunt down.

Idiot got what he deserved.

Against a team that is really good, our kicking game is exposed for what it really is...low % plays that rarely work.

Cane should have started.

[gt12]

Jordie Barrett’s brainfart was almost as unforgivable as Aaron Smith’s ridiculous up and under. Fucking muppets.

But it’s Retallick and Read who were worst - I’ll have to check the stats, but both got run through like they weren’t there.

[antipodean]

Warren Gatland and Tony Brown, come on down!

[kiwiinmelb]

The reality is , the scoreboard doesn’t reflect the dominance , it probably saves us from the embarrassment it could have been

Hahahahahaha he's probably passed out drunk on the floor of the Lake Ferry pub by now.

Anyone know what it costs to get a monstrosity like inked that on you?

Agreed - easily a thirty point drubbing.

Too many cute selections, cane not being there was a massive mistake. We didn’t play our best ten at ten, and Richies poor defence was ruthlessly exposed. All the things people have been worried about all year in evidence tonight.

Don’t mind losing to a better team, doesn’t mean we had to make it so easy for them.

Every failed WC campaign characterised by a panic selection. Thought Hansen above that, so disappointed.
