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

[The Jones Boy]

He doesn't play for the All Blacks.

When you create a Kieran Read we'll let you know. ;-)

 

[The Jones Boy]

New Zealand off side again !

Surely it's not possible

 

[Sam Owen]

When you create a Kieran Read we'll let you know. ;-)

Yeah he's not playing for the All Blacks. The All Blacks are playing, he's not

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Why are people saying read is the best player in the world???

As we have all been told David Seymour is the best player in the world

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Stupid penalty to give away.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Yeah he's not playing for the All Blacks. The All Blacks are playing, he's not

Thats why I said he was missing... oh dear...

 

[Sam Owen]

Thats why I said he was missing... oh dear...

Oh and he's not the best. David Seymour is

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why go for the dropgoal? and from so wide?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

F*cks sake why the drop goal. Keep the ball.

 

[Big Ewis]

Burns thinking he's Jonny Wilkinson. Very unlikely score at the half. Big credit out to England. NZ are present, it's just England that's really hot.

 

[The Jones Boy]

David Soul?

All square on the halftime buzzer.
Honours go to England.
All Blacks for the hair dryer treatment.

 

[Tony Manx]

Excellent first half from England and with a few less mistakes, Wilson doing better in the loose and the rub of the green....who knows? Certainly they were the only ones to make try scoring opportunities.

Very surprised but very happy for England!

 

[Maverick1987]

Why go for the dropgoal? and from so wide?

I know ! Keep a cool head and keep resetting ! Poor decision making by the half backs

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Great first half from England. Freddie Burns is proving his doubters wrong ATM.

 

[Peat]

Urgh. Why not move the ball centre before the drop attempt?

Pretty happy mind, don't get me wrong...

 

[Sam Owen]

England's got it. They've only missed out twice on getting points when they were in NZs half. This is not even England's best team and so far they're level with the ABs.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Good half from England. We look pretty bad on the other hand. Not bad for a bunch of "second stringers". The lad Michael Burns is going well, despite all you guys saying he was rubbish.

 

[dasNdanger]

All Blacks looking rusty, maybe 7 months without a warm up game is too long....
England look well up for this.

They've been very sloppy, and I'm seeing far more attacking from England than from NZ. I'm debating now the wisdom of sitting up at 4:30 in the morning to watch this...

I think we need Barrett on early Cruden has been totally missing in action imo.

 

[Tony Manx]

Urgh. Why not move the ball centre before the drop attempt?.

Sorry to be in the minority but with it being half time and sooo many balls lost in situations like that is so many games, I think it was the correct decision to go for the drop with the way FB had taken his kicks.........
