England v New Zealand

[woodward]

Franks is a beast. Gear reminding us we need real wingers

 

[woodward]

Dear God...Looking bleak for England...Prepare for some NZ boasting.

oh you

Sheridan mullers Franks in the scrum

 

[Amobokoboko]

Good stuff by the English, but their passing is too slow.

 

[elgringoborracho]

England are far from ridiculous. This makes NZ even more impressive.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aha, Toby Flood has got such a posh face,
When he was in there with Moody and Kaino you could just imagine him saying "Come on now chaps, lets have none of this silliness, pip pip"

Franks is a beast. Gear reminding us we need real wingers

Rokocoko reminding us that he's past his use-by date. It's Gear from now on in his place with Jane.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Turrible pass by Tindall then

 

[mohamed_ali12]

could this touch-judge be more of a tosser?

England's accuracy is the difference here, far too wasteful, they'll do 3 or 4 good things and then knock on or give away a stupid penalty (e.g. Thompson's throw)

Easter playing like an absolute animal.

Argh, this is torture. Wish I never joined this forum.

Easters good ball in hand, but recieving it and passing it is a different matter.
Lawes is playing well, he's first to most every ruck, and handed off three ABs on the last phase of play

As the commentators mentioned, England are concentrating on Nonu and SBW too much. They're bunching up in midfield to stop those two, and giving too much space on the wing (something you definately don't want to do with a player like Gear there!)

Moodys having a fairly good game for him, as is Sheridan (won two scrum penalties, and considering he's not the best scrummager that's very impressive!)
Foden class every time he gets the ball, Youngs good as well.
Hape anonymous, Tindall good in defence, not too great on attack

Stuart Dickheadson I presume?

A true Aussie gentleman...

Yup, his handling skills aren't good enough to be the kind of player hes trying to be, Gear looks amazing. SBW letting players get on the outside of him, bit of a worry, the Australians would really punish that.

Good to see England running it, looked really good at the start, Tindall though....

Great first half

Cole is making Woodcock his b**ch

Ummm, if that's happening, then there are a number of *****es being made in reverse, lol.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

When a 20odd year old outscrums the "best in the world" I'd say he is
(yes, i choose to ignore the other 14 positions on the pitch, but that's my choice! :lol: )

Hartley on,
Moody should be off soon, keeps getting injured in rucks

 

[Amobokoboko]

Nice try by the English

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Northampton Saints try!

 

[elgringoborracho]

Nice try but if that's not double movement then what is?

EDIT. And wasn't there an offside on the chase kick?

 

[woodward]

That try was bs.


what the hell was that by Mealamu? need a wider shot didn't look good.
