[2014 Mid-Year Tests] New Zealand vs England (1st Test)

Great start from England .....and vene better from Burns! Sorry Freddie for doubting you!

New Zealand are rusty but are showing their professionalism (cheating) with Nanu pull back and inordinate amount of lingering at break downs at breakdowns and lazy running back into an offside position!

Good game so far...come on Freddie!!
 
c'mon guys, enough with 3 pointers, we want the SERIOUS BUSINESS here !!

Comment/sarcasm.....this is a test match and two very clear chances created! After 27 minutes, I will accept that
 
England doing it steadily at the moment.
Are the AB's missing the best player in the world?
 
This England team is dictating more of the play than im comfortable with. I think we will strike soon but im not impressed by our effort so far.
 
Tuilagi and Haskell and certainly letting the Michaels know that they're there - a lot of arguably-a-fraction-late-tackles flying in on kickers/passers
 
Webber is having a terrific game and his line out throwing superb!
 
All Blacks looking rusty, maybe 7 months without a warm up game is too long....
England look well up for this.
 
a) That wasn't a knockon
b) Michael McCaw came in to play 9 for England then, he was so offside
