Good discipline, good lineout, good Fainga'anuku, Tupaea and Lakai. Two missed kicks for touch are inexcusable

Just fucking play with 14 and remove BB if you're trying to save face Razor. We'll still be better

Score flatters England. But fuck we don't mind balling up opportunities do we?
They pinned us in our own half and walked away with points. Sounds like good rugby to me.
I didn't say they didn't take some good options. But my gut feel of Mex's "ebb and flow of psychic energy" is that NZ should be up by a try.
The whole problem with this team is that we do not have a decent 10. loved Barrett in his day but that was years ago. We will never get anywhere without a new decent number 10. So fucking obvious !!!

What is the issue in the coaching panel that they can’t see this guy is in terminal decline??
They answer to the marketing types who adore Beauden Barrett.

Scott Robertson is shit
Grand Slam?
In the bag.
Worst thing is England look just as rudderless.

Bring wonder boy DMac on and we’ll be sweet.
@Mr-Fish said in England Vs All Blacks:
Tupaea has thrown three very good cut-out passes in this match. Just in response to the comments about the backline not being able to pass.
Without BB, the passing could be slicker.

We should be 15 points up but those two clangers have brought England back into the game.
@ACT-Crusader said in England Vs All Blacks:
Beauden Barrett is really due…..
He should never have left the Hurricanes.
Next year he shouldn't be a Super Rugby starter. Let him go off to collect some yen and move on.
If it had been McKenzie who missed a simple penalty kick for touch he would have been pulled.
@Canes4life Yeah sickening isn't it. Not finding touch at this level shouls see players banished to the shadowrealm. But hey it's a Barrett.

Agree, could even be more, we were dominating them. Those fucked up kicks from BB were so costly. Also, the drop goal is a pretty low percentage option, good on him for nailing them but I won't be unhappy if they keep trying that with go forward ball.
We can take a lot from that half, just need DMac on ASAP
