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

I think its Flanders?

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.

My first half take aways.

Jacomb and Fihaki don't look Test ready.

Papalii, Flanders and Tangitau do.

Thanks

Not good to see Numia limping off.

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

Fakatava and Jacomb combining nicely there

@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

@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

What a tackle by tangitau gosh he's good

@Grooter showed good speed to cover the space

Lovely try

Reihana with the try. 26-7 to the ABs XV.

NZR need to employ a specialist skills coach from
AFL to work with some of these players.

Lol looked like Jack Taylor had more pace than Sevu there

Jack Taylor showed great soccer skills.

Jacobson might have done a shoulder here.

Tangitau needed to pass that one.
