Cracking game this. Haven't watched the egg chasing in ages but we seem to be a decent side again.

    Joubert can be a fussy prick, but he's refereed this game really well. About time someone pulled McCaw - he gets away with murder and has been for years. Morgan's been great since he came on and Lawes has been everywhere. Good performance - although the kiwis look a totally different class when they have the ball.

    Quite literally threw the game away with those second half lineouts

    Yeah - lost a lot of momentum when Hartley had to go off. TBF, the all blacks are an awesome side, and to hold them that close despite not really getting anything going with the backs is a bloody good effort.

    Agreed WSS rarely ever watch rugby but saw the first 20mins of the second half and even though it was mainly England on top thought it was a cracking end 2 end match

    And remember, this is only England's 3rd game this season where the all blacks have been together for a few months. Good match that was

    Dominated up front which was encouraging.

    2 bits of magic won the Kiwis the game.

    Running rugby comes naturally to them, not sure why but England struggle a bit to get going like that. They all look brilliant in the premiership so may just be a bit of ring rust.

    And Leroy is bang on about Mckaw too, got away with murder for years

    Didn't see game but did McCaw have his usual own personal offside line two yards ahead of every one else's?
