England vs New Zealand - 19/11/22

[GoTheNaki]

England incredibly lucky, I don't think that try was on and I still can't figure out what Barrett was carded firt

Erm, there was "no clear release", and really... Well, I'm not sure on the rules, but carding then awarding a try for a play later than the card...? Idk if that is even a thing. However, Mo'unga diving in from the side to disrupt that ball, if Barrett doesn't go then Mo'unga does.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

ABs surprisingly not as clinical in that first half. And all England in that second for me.

I hate this song.

it is quite repetitive and was annoying 25 years ago as well.

Not releasing from the tackle

 

[Reiser99]

Well that was a god awful performance covered up by 10 minutes of good play and NZ imploding a bit. Neither side look like they will win the WC next year.

 

[TommiG88]

I have mixed feelings, we were awful for 60mins. Then we started playing flat to the line with pace.

Nowell needs to be dropped, bring in a younger winger.

Pretty happy with the pack in general

I was a little bit confused, however the ABs had been pretty cynical and largely unpunished on their line for a lot of the game so kind of feels right on balance, I am however biased….

 

[Rinkadink]

Gatland talking sense here.

 

[GoTheNaki]

It is a rarity for the All Blacks to look good for 40-60minutes........................................................ I don't know how I feel tbh... I don't have a great barometer on England... I thought we looked good for the first 40, the half could have seen us up by another 5-14 points... But... It really is hard to know what we look like now a year before the WC.

Plenty of NZ shithousery in the scrum too.

 

[Grizwald]

England made a truckload of errors but if they converted at least one of those chances were NZ held out, would have won that crazy as it sounds.

Ban him Olyy!

 

[Jimbo]

It is a nice change to see England actually come back and not implode the second it doesn't go to plan

What's he saying?
I switched off before the MOTM interview - I know it was gonna be cringe when it was a draw

 

[Scotty]

Happy with a draw??? You had the AB's in the ropes, Lmfao sums up English rugby history.
Pathetic

You had England on the ropes 6 - 22 and you let us back in LMAO
Pathetic

See we can do it too

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The Slade and Porter bench worked in the end.
Would be tempted to look at keeping it.

Get freeman starting

Pplayed considerably better once they went off-plan.

 

[TommiG88]

Glad I turned down a ticket for this

 

[Rinkadink]

I'm appalled at myself too.

But I wasn't wrong

Thought Slade did well. Manu had one moment even keeping him fit he's not played well for Sale and the pessimist in me can't see him getting back to where he was.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

I will say, I thought Farrell played well. Whether he was good enough to justify lacking a proper 12 I don't know, but he communicated well with the ref, defended hard and was the only player that looked like he cared in the first 20 minutes. That fast miss-passing that worked in attack at the end is made for him too.
