We have hardly contested a lineout when they’ve thrown the ball in, what’s the point of picking a tall lineout.

Codie Taylor and Nepo have been poor.

Think we need sbw and cane on sooner rather than later

I’m picking wholesale changes at half time.

They need clarity from the coaches - at the moment they're shell-shocked and hesitant.

[reprobate]

Oh good, we are back to kicking the ball away. Chop your leg off beauden.
Well played jack goodhue. Pretty shit from everybody else.

[Crazy Horse]

I think the game breakers for NZ are starting to play as individuals. Not a good sign.

Anyone got anything positive to make me feel better? Anyone?

Great first half display from England. NZ getting into a bit of an arm wrestle up front and conceding a lot of turnovers. Lineout completely malfunctioning. They need to get back to their offloading game to open the English up.

It's still just 10-0 and it should be a lot more. We know NZ can score tries in the blink of an eye but they're looking pretty lethargic today.

[chimoaus]

Was that Mounga with the missed tackle that led to first try?

@chimoaus ALB?

[BerniesCorner]

They need to relax and trust their instincts, go for it

[Steven Harris]

@Tim first 10-15 minutes of the 2nd half is going to be defining..

[taniwharugby]

Wonder what our missed tackle numbers are like...unprecedented?

[kev]

@Steven-Harris it’s all about those 10 mins

[Mokey]

No ifs or buts, we have to score first in second half.

[Gunner]

You know what makes it worse when the ABs are playing like this?

The bloody missus telling me to stop yelling at the tv.

Grrrrr, not helping.

@RLx31 Make a sentence out of these words -fuck off

Yes

Preston just did a HT analysis on how England are exposing him

[BerniesCorner]

run and offload or lose

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris Absolutely. If they get a penalty (3 - 0) they'll be home. If we score a try (0 - 7) it's all on.

[sparky]

If Steve Hansen can turn this around, he'll be beyond a legend.

[PN]

I reckon AB's not committing a lot to rucks, and in doing so keeping their powder dry for the second half. Be interesting if Eng score first in the second half.

[chimoaus]

Look at that first kick off, at least a metre over the line and so many in front of kicker, that needs tidying up.
