Anyone up watching this?
England have looked strong for the 1st 25 mins and looks likke they have used everything up.Think this will end up be a hammering to the English side, although they have been able to compete at NZs maul which Ireland were unable to do.

Just as i said that New Zealand are now well in control

OOOpps I created a thread bout the NZ game, England looked strong for the 1st 20-25 mins and by looks of it out everything into it, there worn out and IMO screwed now.

Ah they started so well then it all fizzed out, id say if Strettle had of scored things would have been different. Oh Well.

nacho libre

breakaway try. wow ojo is quick.

Creamy Goodness

nice try by topsy

far from over me thinks

Stev_o

Well done Ojo thats a brilliant score say his parents in the stadium feel proud had some amount of pace to burn aswell made Muliania look extremely slow

Rattlehead_ie

Ah Mully had to cross the full pitch to get there. Ojo, great try , must be great to score in your 1st game for your country, my money is still on NZ to destroy them, that was a break away try from what was a dominated last 15 mins by NZ

zAbbo

This could be 50.

Creamy Goodness

ok now it's over

nacho libre

This could be rough for England - 40 plus point loss is on the cards.

Rattlehead_ie

Yeah as I said 20 - 25mins of pure tempo form England but they dont have the fitness or aggression to keep that up for the other 60 mins. In a way Ireland probably played the smarter rugby not a huge tempo but keep it at a lvl where they could keep in it for 60 mins if not the whole game.

Well done Ojo, nice debut still Im looking forward to the 2nd test, NZ i think will wipe them out.

nacho libre

Yeah. Great debut for Ojo.
Who does he play for at club level?
