[QUOTE="Openside7, post: 921327, member: 77272"] On balance, I would observe that New Zealand were a little off their pace during the first half - especially in the first quarter. England were direct and physical at the same time, which worked very well, especially given the poor conditions. I have been impressed with England's improvements this Autumn, especially in the breakdown and the scrum ( Moon's performance has been a real standout, closely followed by Sinclar). Although we pushed New Zealand hard, it's the small decisions and the ability to work out the problems ( on this occasion, the lineout) that makes New Zealand just that bit better than everyone else so consistently. I would also say that fitness is still an area that England could improve, they looked more tired than New Zealand at the end. [/QUOTE]
