@BerniesCorner said in England Vs All Blacks:

The obvious hard calls are:
BB retires,
Taylor becomes captain,
Roigard vice captain,
Jordan goes to wing,
I'd put JB at 15
QT, LF mid field,
DMac 10 and kicks

I'd keep JB (once fit again) in the midfield and put Ruben Love at 15, but I agree with the rest.

I really worry if we think LF at centre is an answer, I didn't think Proctor was bad, but more even on wing LF is pretty slow to turn etc in defence.

What a contrast with the Boks

Apparently Robertson thought his team played "some really good rugby"

That's some bullshit right there.

We will get hungry again?

Great, we didn't give a shit about England.

I think it’s difficult for Razor to get rid of the ill discipline within the All Blacks from the Foster era. We see it in the Chiefs & why they can’t win important games & it’s rares it head in the All Blacks

It feels like someone wrote the headline before watching the match. The penalty count was 2:1 in New Zealand's favour......

NZ media are complicit in the making of the current malaise

Crap! If we need the media to tell us what's wrong we got bigger problems. than I thought. The problem is in the team and coaching team is probably part of it.

They are there to hold the coach and NZRU to account supposedly. Because they aren’t listening to Joe Public

I would settle for the Foster era right now!

Razor is the ultimate troll is all I can conclude

No problem with that. QT deserves to be there somewhere

Yeah I struggle to see how Razor's failings can't be laid at the feet of foster and the players.

Razor didn't select these players and hasn't been allowed any coaching input until today.

That yellow was a total hammer blow

Naa mate , the press in every country are there for one reason, to sell papers or get people to watch them on TV/podcasts etc. If we trying to blame press for ABs performances in anyway we are really in a bad way. I think we lost because our players/coaches weren't good enough is all!

Disappointing we don't have anyone in the team we could bank on to smash the smirk off Pollocks face.

Parker, Carter and Proctor are rapidly turning into failures with limited ways back…
