All Blacks vs England chat

NZ trying to attack from inside their 22 but Jordan's offload goes forward.

ABs very ragged…many balls lost. 

Pakie, what do you think of Smith?

I don't see much of him Plum but I like him, seems to have a good all round game and sound judgement.

Patrick Tuipolotu showing that he should have started.

Ben Earl is real weapon for England.

Space for Smith and BB will get in. England gives away another soft one. Ref wants to check though.

Excellent kick by Smith.

Oh yeah the slapdown, I thought the ref had seen it at the time and just decided he wasn't going to call it.

Ref is clueless…that’s a yellow.

Another yellow for Caleb. Wasn't his other yellow against the Boks for the same thing? Something in my brain is tricking me into thinking so.

Beauden Barret's try chalked off. Right call even if it took a while. Clarke lucky to not see yellow.

Oh it wasn't a yellow? Whatevs.

22-14 England.

Rubbish. Angus Gardener is a world class ref.

But he seems like such a nice fellow.

Wallace Sititi must be the find of the season . . . after SFM of course . . .

Come on All Blacks!

ABs getting some flow going now, and just as I type that they're penalized at the breakdown.

Great tackle by Smith …England penalty

Ja Sititi has been excellent.

I would never have taken Smith off at that point.

Another offload forced, another AB knock.

ALB on for Jordie.

Ja taking off Smith now makes no sense unless he has a niggle.

Itoje shows tall men can be good on the deck

DMac puts the ABs within a score of the win . . . 22-17.

I'd just kick it from inside my own 22 if I was the ABs, they're not getting anything together with their running game today.

King Cole does his thing…AB penalty

Just as an aside, Arsenal and Man City both lost today and Liverpool - who were 1-0 down themselves but came back to win 2-1 - have established a commanding lead at the top of the English Premiership table.
