All Blacks vs England I

ABs play like Todd Blackadder's Crusaders. Going wide without ever sucking in defence around the ruck. They should learn a thing or two from this year's Blues. Very disappointing so far
I thought we were pretty direct in the middle of the park but then once we made in roads were a little too impatient and tried the long cut out.

Three game drivers should get a swift kick in the ass, what the actual fuck are they doing playing like that in our half. Get the fucking thing down their end or out.

I'm sure that razor will be telling them the same thing, not very crusader like

Doesn't reflect well on the leadership group. You'd think the experience out there would've had a calmer head.

Wouldn’t mind bringing ALB on early in the second half. Need someone at centre that puts Telea and Reece away. Ioane isn’t doing that well enough.
-
Christie is slow but he might pass quicker than TJP.

TJ was good for most of that half yet classic fern, let’s bag a guy when our cleaners don’t do their job.
TJ was fine. He made one poor pass just after being injured and oen penalty but otherwise cleared well
-
A tough game against a tough opponent. Team doesn't look Test-sharp yet but still in this.
-
and a neck roll.
-
DMac the ultimate instincts player. Excellent when it’s broken-ish play, but he looked a little rushed for the most part.

Yeah he's been the weakest ab, not done anything well really
-
@Victor-Meldrew said in All Blacks vs England I:
England just soak up the pressure from the AB's and win another breakdown penalty.
England much more savvy and Test sharp.

Yeah not sure what others are watching aye. He was one of our best in the first half.

The first part is spot on
-
Luckily for England, their scrum has firmed up.

The youngster has done well
He's been ahead of Marler at club level this season
It's starting to show
-
Taylor bringing his Crusaders form to the ABs. He has been excellent
-
@antipodean said in All Blacks vs England I:
Why are we still fucking playing? Get the ball out you idiots.
Any other time in the game we'd have hoofed it down there, but we had possession so they try to score.
Anyway, flattering to England, but they're doing enough to be even, even though they shouldn't be.
-
Telea’s non-chase of the high ball has been ratshit
-
I'm not sure Rieko is the 13 you want if you want to play this style
If you want to play direct Vern ball then yep.
-
I'll be surprised to see TJ come back on from halftime
-
They can look at ALB to 13 and putting Reiko at 11.
-
@KiwiMurph We've looked a lot better when playing directly.
-
Pity we don't have access to real time stats. Some more carries and cleans by our loose forwards would help.
-
And First World problems ...
... am forced to watch this on my phone. Which is bad enough.
But the kicker is the display on Stan means the clock gets cut off by the top menu bar on my phone, and I don't know how to get rid of it.

It would have been nice to see Proctor on in the second half but I understand why they were more conservative for this test.
-
Perofeta has gone better than I expected, and TJ has gone exactly how I expected. Time to get Christie on and get some smarter decisions going on out there. Both their passes are slow, but Christie is actually quick.
Loose forward trio is not working, Dalton is tackling well, savea is going missing as usual when up against a combative pack and Finau is MIA.
Locks are going great though.
And DMac is awesome under the high ball

@Canes4life said in All Blacks vs England I:
Lol everyone talking about TJ and his service. Don’t you guys remember we have Christie on the bench.
So we shouldn't criticise Perenara's service?
Course not. He's a Hurricane.
-
Oh and Jordie has been very good at 12 too
-
Is papalii playing?
-
-
-
The Rueben Thorne of the team then

Our pattern looks more like late Henry era (thanks Wayne). We could do with Ioane at 12 and then use Jordie’s passing out wider.
-
Christie on.
-
Holland has taken a few shots to the throat with that voice.
-
Some retarded play there but I like what Razor is doing. They get this to click and they'll fúck teams up.

Christie on.
Perenara injured. Who’s the next man up if he’s out?

Perofeta with Beaudy on at fullback.
