New Zealand vs England 2nd Test (13/07/24)

[Ragey Erasmus]

Jesus Christ is you've been warned about closing the gap don't proceed to immediately ******* close the gap again!

 

[Wasps92]

Steward is too slow.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Poor decision making by steward running straight into contact and no English players putting in the effort to support. We have gone from the NZ 5m to our 22 through Ill discipline and stupidity.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Very NZ. Soak up the pressure and strike.

 

[Wasps92]

Utter garbage.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Beauden an instant improvement. We went for the wrong brother.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, that really showed Steward's pace issues tbf - looked like a lock chasing back
He's at full sprint and the ABs #20 is jogging faster

 

[Booboobang]

Thats the biggest issue with steward, doesnt offer much going forward, but like a battleship on defense.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Only good thing is forcing all these tries in the corners.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Having George Martin in the team has helped England's general forward power but has it made England's lineout worse?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Finn should've come on for Steward, really

 

[Booboobang]

Finn should've come on for Steward, really

Have to agree, when you are facing barret and D-mac pace at the back there will be exposed.

 

[Jashay]

Hell of a clearing kick by Barrett there

 

[Wasps92]

We've gone back to 3 phases and kick it away.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The difference between Barratt and steward at FB is like night and day.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That was sick. BB usually saves games like this for Ireland.

 

[Wasps92]

Stop kicking the ******* ball away.

 

[big ginger 8]

Beauden trying to be Sam Prendergast.

 

[Booboobang]

England are spent. That barret change has changed this instantly.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Our decision making at key moments is really poor. Someone needs to get a grip of our on field decision making.

Also we look gassed yet again. Either our fitness levels are poor or we are saying the effect of overplaying players.
