    English players literally diving into the ruck from any direction they wanted before that try.

    Garces reffing one team He abdicates responsibility at ruck time

    Hartley was in front of the NZ scrum half there trying to enter the ruck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    There was advantage for 3 penalties before the try was scored :D

    Well a lot of softening up going on here + the rain will sap the legs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,153 ✭✭✭mangobob


    Great time to score a try. Big psychological boost for NZ going in at half time. Be interesting to see if the momentum starts to shift now.

    England quite desperate in defence. Commentators getting ahead of themselves with praising England, reckon NZ will still win this.

    NZ being outfought, outsmarted and outclassed by England.

    Outclassed? Playing well yes but wait until 80 mins before such a statement.

    As opposed to the old Jordan Larmour? :P

    That might quiet down the calls for Italy to be ejected in favour of the Georgians.

    Terrible mistake by Farell from the kick off.

    England getting away with murder


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,912 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    10 points in 2 mins...sums up NZ...

    Intriguing game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,087 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    On 39 minutes England were winning 15-0..


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 128 ✭✭The Dagestani Eagle


    England slowed the clock, rode the ref, and made good decisions. SBW going off was a good thing for NZ. Crotty and Goodhue will make better decisions.
    If Hansen tells Spongebob to stop kicking the ball, they will win.
    Mo'unga and Coles to run at tired bodies late on.

    Hartley was in front of the NZ scrum half there trying to enter the ruck.

    Was laughing at this. A good 10 seconds rummaging around from the NZ side of the ruck haha

    They can be thankful half time and when it did.

    The problem for England is that they started at 100 miles an hour and didn't allow NZ to settle, but you can't sustain that and therefore there is every chance the line speed will slow and NZ will start picking them off.

    I know most neutrals want nz to lose, but when you see stuff like that its hard to think they get an easy ride from refs. I am shouting at the tv watching Garces watching hartley mooch around on NZ side. As if he doesn't own a whistle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    England have been caught offside in the back line twice near the end of the half. Funny thing is their line speed hasn’t changed.
    Some one in the Assistant refs ears?

    McKenzie is older than Larmour too which makes it more strange, in a way.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 128 ✭✭The Dagestani Eagle


    Pen advantage at the end . Garces "no" "no" . Itoje cynical picks it up anyway.

    Has to be a yellow

    Seems the officials have started to pick up England's infringements. Wouldn't be surprised if we do see a yellow for England in the second half as pressure comes on from NZ...

    Crotty has been excellent since coming on. Think England tiring has something to do with it, but it's noticeable that he's making a lot of metres in the carry.

    its a professional foul in its perfect form. " leave it" " leave it" . Picks it up anyway.

    Literally took the 3 is better than 7 approach.

    Sit him for ten mins ref. Cowardly

    He is a yard quicker over the first ten and just makes better decisions. Its one of those games where if you win the contact you will slide the extra few anyway. SBW grubbering and offloading to static people beside him doesn't help.

    Meh. Incredible dumb penalty alright, and if it was at the end of a few penalties in a row, yes. But a yellow would have been very harsh in the context of play up to that point.

    That was a **** pass to Savea

    Overhead angle made it look like Wilson got a hand to that pass... Would love to see another replay...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    Barrett was unbelievable against Sinkler, then makes second tackle, then up to pressure Farrells kick.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,541 ✭✭✭fitz


    Stupid from Sinkler. Holding someone down so obviously is gonna get you in unnecessary trouble.

    England should have flooded the blindside there, made it look like the centres were joining the maul.

    Every single post you’ve made has been whining about the referee. It’s pathetic

    He’s giving decisions against NZ, don’t be silly of course he isn’t.

    Stuart Barnes is insufferable. Completely OTT because Farrell made a hard but fair tackle this week.

    In fairness he was very quick to criticize him last week.
