Itoje getting some love from the commentators. Rightly so, he's turned into a solid player.

Itoje has always been a quality player. It's nothing new. Saffex will disagree but it's true . . .

Roigard is the AB version of Grant Williams . . . a real try-scoring threat every time he's on the ball . . .

If Smith wasn't injured the coaching staff has some answering to do about his substitut ion.

Ford gets a Pollard moment. And this is a nothing game. Some perspective on the massive balls Pollard had to slot those kicks in the WC.

It's not a yellow and a red, chump. It's a yellow that will be reviewed for a possible red. ABs still 14 men.

Three times Ford blows the game….Smith watches from the bench. Nobody says rugby coaches are bright.

Nice England, take off the guy winning the match for you and bring on the Great Imploder. NZ didn't quite deserve that win, they were mostly terrible. England's subs hurt them.

ABs’ discipline issues nearly cost us dearly. 3 tries to 1 however showed our attacking prowess was far superior. Poms’ only try came from an intercept otherwise they didn’t look like crossing our line.

Haha, I won't be particular to getting up from a lekker 4am slapie either these days. Back in my heydays I got up bright and early to watch Super Rugby and tests in NZ. Imagine getting up at that hour for a provincial game. Good times.

What code o aport did they play - if  t hat was rugby  something is very wrong with  rugby in NewZealand that removed creativity from their playes ?

Well that was disappointing. 

No Pakie, Smith wasn’t injured, they, in their ultimate wisdom, simply replaced him and potentially cost us the match with that one decision. 

Ford should have been put out to pasture years ago, along with Cole. 

We’re missing Mitchell at Scrum Half, no idea when he’ll be back fit, and, for some reason, they decided to leave Fin Smith out of the squad altogether. He’s a much better player than Ford. 

CCS had a good game, as did Feyi-Waboso. I think we probably played the wrong Curry twin from the start as Tom is not back to his best yet and Tom Willis should be in the mix ahead of Dombrandt. 

Freeman and Furbank had poor games, in my opinion. 

All in all some decent play but a heck of a lot to work on.

Mike , nothing wrong with the ABs’ style of play when they can create 3 tries for their backline against 1 intercept. We don’t rely almost solely on the rolling maul, unlike a certain team I could mention…..

Nothing wrong with NZ’s ball in hand game Moolaa. There were a few mistakes like Barrett’s charge downs and quite a few handling errors, but NZ always looked dangerous. The concern if anything was the starting scrum that struggled in the first half.

Yes Moz, scrum didn’t go as I’d hoped in the first half. Had a feeling the Poms’ tight head was cleverly standing too far away and dragging Williams down but since I never graced the front row I can’t be sure! We only gained ascendancy when the Poms’ inexperienced reserves came on.
