@chris It's much better with the mute button.

I’d be looking at getting Richie out there ,
Think his taking the ball to the line will be good here ,

What a run from Goodhue to get us into their 22 again.
Oh yes, that was beautiful. 3 Minutes of dominance and going into the half 10-15 is alright, considering England played better for the other 37 minutes
-
@kiwiinmelb Hell yeah, a certain Richie McCaw be great.
-
That scrum call by Read was masterful IMO - not just because we scored. 15-0 or 15-3 it makes little difference to either teams psyche at half time PLUS we would have restarted in our own half with three minutes left, enough to bleed more points. Plus sends a good message to the ref about potential scrum shenanigans in the second half as the field chops up and the subs come on.
The old adage of going with the option the opposition don't want you to take was spot on there.

Why the fuck would you do that when Dmac is easily the best back out there. Just fuck off BB into the stands
-
Quick thoughts.
Bloody happy with that scoreline considering.
SBW feels career over. Crotty has been awesome since he has been on.
What the actual fuck is Squire doing? Hanging out wide doing zero. Talk about ineffectual.
DMac very impressive considering the conditions.
-
Have to agree with the coms in and around SBW,might be time to look somewhere else..There might be better options,no question Goodhue is the first midfield pick,,but Crotty ,ABL and Laumape are looking in front of the que

Well, well, gobshite of the day award goes to Billy Tell with his "easy peasy" prediction. My apologies to our English posters. When I saw driving rain, I thought "uh oh", this could go pear-shaped.
Right
- SBW, not a starter! Backline looks sooooo much better with Crotty and Goodhue together
- I'd be tempted to bring Todd on for Squire
Otherwise, as you were.
The England 7 has had a very good game, so too the much-maligned Itoje.
That last 5 minutes was crucial, we are right back in this.

@kev said in England vs All Blacks:
The kicking tactics have been over used this year. As a rule, it has given away possession for no advantage. Coaching issue for me rather than Beauden.
But if you look at the tests this year it has been a first half tactic mainly. Second 40 we have definitely changed it.
