The way Jordan stopped running when Darry threw him a bad pass looked very much like 'fuck these useless fluffybunnies, I'm not cleaning that up'. Not a good look, especially from someone strong on the shit pass himself.

If you listened to the most persistent broken record on the fern, you wouldn't be surprised though. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but the way he plays rugby you'd swear he refers to himself in the 3rd person. On the field it's all about Will Jordan.

Reprobate wonders if you noticed BB was a bit shit too.

If we take the logic in the get a grip thread, I'm pretty sure there was a moment in the game where he was the best player on the field.

He had two good touches in our second try, but should have been off at 30. He was at half pace after we got counter rucked in corner after LF surge.

For me the real question is, ‘How do we expect to beat a top team playing with our five five CROCKED FOR 25 MINUTES!

Don’t recall media posing that one.

As an aside, the drop off between Roigard and Ratima was huge.

Of the alternatives it’s hard not to feel that Fakatava would have asked many more questions of the Poms.

I thought the Dingwall try was actually quite symbolic for some of the deeper-lying issues within this team. It shows that the players don’t trust each other and that the opposition is generally smarter than them.

It is honestly an embarrassingly easy score for England: Mitchell throws the long pass to Lawrence, taking out both Taylor and Lakai from the defensive picture. It leaves England and the ABs with a two-on-two: Lawrence and Dingwall against Carter and Tupaea.

There is really no reason for Tupaea to bite in here, unless he doesn’t trust Carter to make the tackle on Lawrence. And that takes us all the way back to the try in the first half, where Carter gets flattened by the English centre. Tupaea gets a flashback, wants to put in a double shot, and then it’s just easy hands at the line for Lawrence. Proctor is far back because he’s covering the English attackers hidden in the boot; he’s trusting his teammates to execute the defensive 2-on-2.

It's smart from England but it is painfully naïve from an AB perspective. Big, individual errors, like Leroy Carter’s in the first half, are a mental challenge for a team. If you’re a good side, you immediately put it behind you and start again. If you’re mentally fragile, it becomes like a domino-effect, influencing your every move and decision from that moment onwards.

After the England Test, I think it’s pretty clear what kind of team these ABs are.

Fragile and lacking composure.

That happened right in front of where I was sitting.

Strikes me positioning of Carter was a bit close to end of lineout. He and Tupaea being another metre wider and Dingwall gap would have been
much narrower.

Dingwall has revealed that a lineout or two before this cock up he and Lawrence had noted a flaw in the AB alignment. They swapped possies to allow Lawrence to run a hard line with Dingwall coming close for the short offload.

Got a time in the game?

76:35

It's the English try to Roebuck after Pollock toe-d it through

That’s when DMac was in position to recover the ball - as he was in the secondary attacking line - but he didn’t.

I’m all for picking a part bad plays and errors from Jordan, but I’m not sure Jordan is overly at fault in this one. Proctor was in position to try and make the tackle which was away from Jordan and DMac for that matter.

Ya what mate, I'd have another look at that?
Proctor is in the ruck that the ball came from. McKenzie is heading wide and has to change direction completely. Both of them try desperately to get back and dive on the ball, while Jordan - who the pass goes in front of - drops his head and lets Pollock run through - does not even try to get back and cover. He's one of our quickest, and he lets their flanker run away without bothering to chase.

if that is true, and they came up with it on the field, it must be the first time in years that England have played heads up rugby where the players have taken responsibility. It also suggests that these two might make a decent centre combo. I'm a bit shocked. I hope that's Blackett's influence

This is why we are where we are.

I listened to a podcast recently where Conor Murray told an anecdote from his new book of how he tried to go into the Allblacks dressing room to get a jersey swap and Ma'a Nonu was stood outside eating.

He turns to Murray and says "where are you going?" "eh I was going in to swap a shirt" "you're not going in there mate".

Thats Henry Pollock. Englands youngest player, shithouse in chief, and Cortez Ratima is gurning with him for a photo after a rubbish performance himself.

I know im a dinosaur, but I preferred when our boys were aloof, unapproachable, hard nosed, miserable looking bastards.

You are giving Pollock an inch there. It's all cosy. "These Allblack lads are sound".

Imagine Austin Healy sat beside Tana Umaga in the dressing room...........

We are being gaslit by the Allblacks social media team on a weekly basis. Im with Devlin on this.

Footage of Savea sweeping the floor of the dressing room to ethereal sombre music.

The lad spent 80 minutes avoiding tackling and hitting rucks.

I don't mind the jersey swapping and beers with the opposition in the changing sheds - it's kinda part of the game. But the photo displaying the back of his jersey showing his name and number proudly screams "teenage fanboi", not "professional competitor".
Notable that Pollock isn't holding up Ratima's jersey and is instead wearing it like he owns it...

@Jet

I have zero problem with Ratima swapping jerseys with Pollock and welcome it. It's always been part of the game since time immemorial. Meads used to take cases of beer into the opposition's dressing room after a game. Said it was how he made so many friends in the game.

I actually find that Nonu story hard to believe. Nonu is/was renowned for fraternising with opposition players and how it was key to his love for the game. So much so, he once broke his arm and made a point of leaving his jersey on his opposite number's peg before heading off to the hospital.

Good lord. What a complete load of wank.

Two young players swapped a jersey. A photo was taken of just after it, clearly with little planning.

Hate to tell you this, but if losing teams didn’t want to swap …. You could only do it when you drew.

You're misreading me.

You go and hand the jersey, shake the hand and walk away. Maybe do it in corridor.

It shouldnt be ceremonial. You shouldnt be smiling. You should be filthy. You avoid a photo if possible.

Ratima looks like someone who won a prize to be there.

All these little percentages of beta behaviour are compounding.

Nonu story 21:47 mins in this podcast.

I just relistened. He said they are notorious for not letting people in to their dressing room. But they come into yours. They didnt swap after Chicago. Conor Murray tells the story of how it was O'Mahoney going in to get McCaws jersey after the 60-0 drubbing in Hamilton in 2012 and Nonu refused him entry.

I don't mind them making friendly after the match. That is the way it is today. As long as we smashed the crap out of them on the pitch first. I'm not sure it's about lack of effort for many of our players. It all starts with selection and game plan to give our best combination of players the chance to excel

Motive is the thing right.

Sweeping the floors because it's what you do, you tidy up after yourself is one thing. Performative sweeping to make social media posts about it sucks.

Feels like early on it was clearly the former. No idea any more, I'd like to given them the benefit of the doubt, but anyone calling attention to doing scut work with social media posts makes me a bit uneasy. And I freely acknowledge I don't like SM and am a generation or two removed from the lads these days.

Sounds like complete horseshit to me. McCaw's AB's were known for getting together with the opposition - giving presentations to new caps playing against them and post-match public presentations to opposing players reaching 100 Tests (Habana, Slipper, AWJ etc)

I can see where Jet is getting annoyed. I think most of us would agree being friendly with the opposition, the odd photo and social media post is fine, after a top quality performance on the field. And that’s the issue - some of these guys are walking around during games like they couldn’t care less, seem like they’re not worried following a loss and don’t go into the next game with a point to prove. There are a few factors contributing to this but it’s painful to watch.

@nzzp if you sweep the floor after a game and no one is there to record it for SM, did you really sweep it?

@Victor-Meldrew There's a long passage in McCaw's book that says his attitude was before and during the game it was binary. Your job was to win and make the opposition lose.

After the game, you're all Rugby players together and it's time to forge friendships.

Long may those values continue. The game is bigger than any player, even the . It's bigger than any team.
