@Nepia said in England A v All Blacks XV:

It's interesting how many English born PI's are coming through their system, considering how much shit NH scribes used to give us for our NZers of PI descent.

They're even taking the Welsh born ones the f****rs

Howden at Lock.

I'm worried the English are going to crush us at set piece.

NAK and IWL injured? Or carrying too many initials?

This should be a cracker. I regret not heading to Bristol for the weekend and not getting tickets for this one.

All Blacks XV by 1-5, but could easily go either way.

Thank you the North Shore Ferrari 💰

Who's at #6 with the headgear? He looks good.

I think its Flanders?

Tim

Brilliant play from Ennor.

Bovidae

Yeah, but butchered a try by not passing early to Reece.

AB XV have spent a lot of time in their own half but have been able to score when in the Eng A 22. Jacomb has not played well in the 1st 5. Fihaki looking suspect under the high ball. A big tackle by Papalii to save a certain try.

Score please

Not on my TV

My first half take aways.

Jacomb and Fihaki don't look Test ready.

Papalii, Flanders and Tangitau do.

Tim

Not good to see Numia limping off.

Can’t watch it. Potential dominance of the England forwards overstated?

Torian

Fakatava and Jacomb combining nicely there

Tim

@jimmyb Yes. Dominating the high kick contest though.

Who’s been good and who’s been not so good? If you don’t mind commentating

Tim

@jimmyb Only been casually watching. Ennor and Papalii (playing 8 in 2nd half) good. Maybe Fihaki struggling in the air. McAlister's throwing better today. Flanders made some runs. Our defence struggled a bit in 1st half. Better 2nd half.

NZ haven't caught one high ball today. Pathetic.

Havili is washed as the kids say
