England vs New Zealand

[Stom]

We got lucky there. Pepper with a poor decision and very nearly got isolated.

[Lizard]

Drop goals are for cowards

[Stom]

I think we’ll be happy to be 1 point down here.

[Galfon]

Strategic Befuddler's B-plan working well.
Ford is good at this.

[Puja]

Shown great strength of mentality to come back after having dominated the first 15 minutes for zilch and then ending up 0-12 down after two quick tries against the run of play. Limited the damage and got into half-time - hopefully a good talking to will get everyone's heads screwed back on and we can execute a bit better in the second half.

Have New Zealand actually conceded a penalty yet? I don't recall one.

Puja

[Lizard]

Neither side taking all their chances. I'll be interested to see how the benches go.

Not according to the stats that popped up on the feed here. Extremely impressive.

Penalty count is 3 - 0. Pretty rare for this ABs team!

First DG was on penalty advantage wasn't it?

[Lizard]

TMO has entered the chat.

That is mental.

[Puja]

Welp. They've conceded a penalty now! Incredibly harsh yellow.

Puja

[Stom]

I'm actually very happy to see that decision, I think those cynical plays should be punished heavily more often.

[Stom]

The man who doesn't provide any attacking play scores...

[Lizard]

I wouldn't mind so much if they had pinged the blatant no arms tackle in the first half.

[Lizard]

Why the hell would you tap a penalty from there?

[Puja]

Why the hell would you tap a penalty from there?

No hooker, so nobody to throw into a lineout.

Puja

[Puja]

Tactically, that was so smart from England. Taking the opportunity to really attack the scrum while NZ were down to 7 forwards.

Puja

[Lizard]

Why the hell would you tap a penalty from there?

No hooker, so nobody to throw into a lineout.

Puja

1. Go for 3
2. Surely someone could throw at least a short one.
3. Even losing a lineout in England's 22 would have been better than that.

[Lizard]

Wheels have come right off the ABs now.

[Lizard]

This officiating is a shambles. AR should have picked up that offside immediately.

[Stom]

Why the hell is that a pen. I'm sorry, but that's quite incredible of a decision to go back.

Yeah, this officiating team are not having a good game.

[Puja]

That would've been a comedy call by Piardi to call that a knock-on, but at least it's back for an offside penalty which is fairer. I think we're owed that after the lucky yellow.

Puja

[Lizard]

Yeah, this officiating team are not having a good game.

Back's moving inside 10m before the lineout is over.

[Which Tyler]

Yeah. Calling the rip a knockout was bull, but just insult to the injury.
Offside at the lineout? I'll take their word for it - if so, then the rip was always irrelevant and not what should have had any replays

Yeah, but the decision making process is insane. Sorry, poor wording.
