[2018 November Tests] England vs New Zealand 10/11/18

[Bada-Bing!]

All the reasons I haven't rated NZ that highly lately are being exposed here. Reckon they'll lose two in a row.

Certainly not the level of the team of 2013-2015.

ABs fans have been lulled by poor opposition in the Rugby Championship.

 

[Reiser99]

Did the touch judge take out Ben Smith?

 

[Which Tyler]

How straight was that throw?

Only if the conditions are the same next week.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He was jackling May's leg not the ball, ffs

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Hartley's putting in a shift

 

[ncurd]

Sorry how was that not rolling away compared to other stuff this match?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

England just don't look like we could turn it over.

 

[ncurd]

ABs panicking here poor decision making with time on the board.

 

[Reiser99]

England just don't look like we could turn it over.

If Underhill was a six with curry at seven then we could have a back row that turns the ball over.

Yep but also lost a lot of experience with the likes of Woodcock, Mealamu, McCaw, Kaino, Carter, Nonu, Smith.

Read and the two Smiths not anywhere near their form back then either. Time to cash in and get England's second win this decade. Still don't forget Pretoria and the way ABs came Back from what 17 points down in the last 15 mins.

 

[ncurd]

Still not a good call IMO paid off though.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ford wouldn't have kicked it out on the full

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Still not a good call IMO paid off though.

It paid off, it's a good call. And just before half time, great time to score.

 

[Reiser99]

Still not a good call IMO paid off though.

I can understand the logic, with the pitch as it is, they can slide over.

Oh I know why and I don't want to count chickens just yet. I'm saying why their fans haven't really believe that aren't quite as brilliant as they once were. This side is beatable on a normal day.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Ab cleared out a ruck perpendicular to where they should have been...

 

[ncurd]

Nother penalty not good.

Although TBF I still think the call against Underhill was ********.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ah ****. Ye threw it away in 5 minutes there lads.
