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'll be surprised to see TJ come back on from halftime
-
Pity we don't have access to real time stats. Some more carries and cleans by our loose forwards would help.

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.
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

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.

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.
