All Blacks vs England chat
Go for poles . . .
Two scrum penalties give NZ a chance
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 . . .
Eng under loads of pressure now.
Telea scores!
Crucial touchline conversion to come . . .
Tilea runs right over Ford….that serial loser loses another one. Pathetic.
DMac nails it . . . the All Blacks lead!
Tele'a with the slippery leg magic gets over for the ABs. Terrible tackling Ford.
If Smith wasn't injured the coaching staff has some answering to do about his substitut ion.
ALB yellow carded . . . gives England a chance here . . .
Now NZ implode…they will finish with 13
Can't imagine that in the whole of England Ford is the best flyhalf backup. Seriously?
Oof, head clash. Will probably be mitigation as the carrier was crouched.
Ford has a kick to win it . . .
Off the post!
Scrum England. It's not over yet!
George blows it…serial loser. Lucky scrum
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.
Ford hits the pole. England have a scrum 10 out though.
Ford's drop goal attempt just wide. ABs win it. Good game!
Halfback panicking for Eng, ground lost.
Drop is astray. Two chances Ford, zero results.
Three times Ford blows the game….Smith watches from the bench. Nobody says rugby coaches are bright.
Fun game though!
Sititi named Man of the Match.
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.
Thanks for joining in fellows, nice to have company.
Thanks fellas ............. another sparkling session.
I woke up at about 4am but too slapgat to make the effort & my slaapery was too lekker.

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.
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.
