England 10-0 NZ at the half. Could easily have been more.

There are a lot of rose tinted glasses Kiwis that expect England to just roll over for us at some point in this game.

Kiwis have to be delighted with the scoreline. 10-0 is a very very gentle scoreline for that domination. Still very much in the air.

My fear is NZ doing one of those 2nd half turnarounds. England still making a few to many mistakes when they have attack. NZ always confident they can play to the end. England have to turn their lungs off for this one.ManInTheBar wrote:Hands up who saw this score at HT?

All Blacks comprehensively outplayed.
First to score in the second half will win.

The Crusaders curse is real.
Forwards are getting outplayed, defence going in sixes and sevens. What is our backline up to?? Everyone is playing crap.
Congrats England, well deserved win

Good half from England but the game's going to break up at some point. The last 20-30 minutes could be unpleasant.

I've only just managed to properly sit down and watch but I've had it on since the start and every time I've paused to watch, Nigel has been blowing his whistle in our favour. It's the weirdest game. I don't think I've caught England running with the ball (missed the try out walking dog), I've seen NZ run with it once and cock it up.

England look knackered though, and for only a 10 point lead. In 2018 and 2012 we lead by 15 at the half.sockwithaticket wrote:

We're gash and England are good.
We're rushed, paniced. Mo is shit, Best Barret is shit, Taylor is shit and Snecky is shit, among others.
Goodbhue us good and, ummm.

Get two passes and kick the ball back to 3 English.
Look back at the last test these guys played.
The ABs will settle in the 2nd half and Eng will tire.... hopefully.
There is no reason England will tire more than us at the end of this game. We have been doing the tackling.

69% territory and 62% possession to England. Only 10 points up. Playing very very well, it’s all for the blacks to do now

Never thought England would stop them completely scoring.
To the kiwis - its not your team, its the excellence of England's front row around the field and England's back row and Itoje who are changing the game.

Open your eyes and watch the game.
We are getting humped. And half because we are not maintaining any pressure on England when we get a possession.
