[2014 Mid-Year Tests] New Zealand vs England (2nd Test)

[Peat]

If Jane is still on the field after half time he's more likely to win the game for England than us!!!

Honestly we have bombed atleast 3 or 4 solid plays. Im not that impressed by England.... they are alright but I certainly am not seeing a WC winning team out of this lot.

Typical AB fans. Not giving credit, where credit due to England. Are the ABs still rusty? Nothing to do with the England pressure defence forcing the ABs mistakes.

Clearly they reckon they're shat and doing well against them is no biggie ^_^

Seriously we need to find out who's been supplying Jane with legal high's because he's been totally out of sorts.:huh:

Just ignore him. Clearly doesn't know rugby. I think that fast line will cost England sooner or later though.

Go cory jane!!! Only 40 minutes left to show why your the most over rated player in NZ

Also when did England's offensive strategy change again? I can't remember when they started playing at this sort of pace. Quite like it.

Although I don't like the idea of Ashton v Savea.

 

[Kapa O Pango]

Savea does make a difference on the left wing. Bowling over defenders, especially when he ran over Robshaw. England still by 7.

It certainly plays to your strengths not theirs!!

How about we both take off our right wings.... that would be fair

 

[Tautahi]

Come on England

in all honesty though, the AB have indeed not been all that impressive recently, and it hasn't so much to do with the opposition's pressure. They're just not that scary anymore. England are playing very well today, but it's not all that scary anymore to see the AB attacking. There was a time when I'd hold my breath as the black wave mounted and engulfed the opposition. Right now, defenses are so tight and teams are so big (physically) the AB just aren't as intimidating. England have beaten the AB up in those first 30min. With simple attacking, they've subjected the AB to their consistent ground-gaining.

 

[Patchey]

Absolutely cracking first half, despite some errors that have cost us what should have been a bigger lead.

One really important change , stop kicking loose balls to Bin Smuth. He is on fire.

Yeah, like I have said. People have been praising Cory Jane for the Hurricanes? No, no no. It wasn't Cory Jane making himself look good, it was Andre Taylor. You know, that guy that has been better than Dagg at Fullback, two out of the last three seasons...

Aaron Smith needs to gtfo. This is the reason why we lost to England last time... *****.

 

[Kapa O Pango]

Farrell just dumped Savea.

 

[Bazzy]

Ben Smith

 

[Tony Manx]

TRY through the over elaborate trying to pass the ball from the deck................ridiculous and properly punished!

 

[Darwin]

Ben Smith. Well set up by Cruden.

 

[Maverick1987]

England look out on their feet I'm afraid ! A lot of players looking very tired

 

[austingtir]

Need to make some changes now and blow these guys off the park. If we remove A smith and Jane thats atleast 20 points right there.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Bin smuth!!!
