If England had a scrum half they could be out of sight by now.

NZ JUST PLAY SOME BASIC RUGBY. GET DOWN THEIR END AND CARRY DIRECT.

Clear contact with the man ahead of the ball carrier. Textbook penalty.

If that's the case you can milk a penalty of Smith every time he runs from the scrum he always leads the ball.

Been a high energy half. I fear England not got enough points.

No space or time given Seft. Credit to your boys as they are applying immense pressure

If Retallick had have passed a second earlier it could be tied.
I'd expect the ABs to go into HT behind.

They need to take Farrell off, he can barely move

Youngs is f**king us so hard at the moment. Good start, but he's deteriorating by the second.

New Zealand seem to have forgotten to train the set plays this week.

GREAT GAME!

RodneyRegis · Post by **RodneyRegis** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:43 am

Ugh. Youngs fucks the pass again. Sinckler should still take.

Bindi · Post by **Bindi** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:43 am

Owens not policing the tackler release at all.

Sandstorm · Post by **Sandstorm** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:43 am

Meerkat Youngs has turned up

The Man Without Fear · Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:44 am

Pressure starting to fade from England. Not taking chances will haunt us.

Sefton · Post by **Sefton** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:44 am

Youngs passing from the base.

NZ cannot get any worse than this, England cannot get any better. Easy win in the end for the All Blacks.

Exactly... hold onto the ball.. make England tackle...

Youngs stamps on the brake pedal.

eldanielfire · Post by **eldanielfire** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:44 am

Mistakes like that when we have an attacking platform is costing England the potential to win.

backrow · Post by **backrow** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:44 am

Crooked feed from NZ
Owens doesn’t spot it

Poor decision making by AB's so far is not helping their cause, 22 dropout should have been long

Dont worry ABs will just kick it back to you to try again and again.

Yep, but Engs defensive pressure has been pretty good.
We've not had enough phases through to get comfortable.

ManInTheBar · Post by **ManInTheBar** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:45 am

I can only imagine that when Youngs was, say, 11, someone took him aside and said
"look lad, why don't you try stopping, waiting until everyone is stood quite still, wait another breath and THEN fire it as hard as you can at his head or his ankles"

Yeah, there's a chance England could regret not converting those line breaks - they must have had 5 in the first 20 mins

The whole attacking long was just creeping up expecting him to pass it, but it took ages. The the whole shape off.

Sonny Blount · Post by **Sonny Blount** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:46 am

This f**king idiot ALl BLack team does nto deserve to win anything.

Get two passes and kick the ball back to 3 English.

Curry has become a man in this RWC.

Curry is brilliant tbf. Shoo in for the Lions at 6 or 7.

The Man Without Fear · Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:47 am

Goodhue attempting to counter ruck against Sinckler. 10/10 for the effort.
