England vs New Zealand

[Lizard]

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

Correct

[Galfon]

omw - excellent by the midfield.

[Which Tyler]

If that wasn't a 50:22, it was hugely offside by NZ midfield

[Lizard]

Nice try. Awful defence again. Game over I would say.

[Stom]

You know what, I thought he had a poor game from minute 5 to minute 30, but since then Lawrence has been very good. Nice one there, pretty perfect.

But the NZ defence is not great, imo.

[Mellsblue]

Dingers!!!!

[Which Tyler]

And that's what a pair of real centres can do

[Which Tyler]

Gods sake, no.
Do NOT bring Spencer on yet!

We need to keep playing, not close up shop, against NZ who need 2 scores in 20 minutes

[Lizard]

This should be yellow to be consistent.

[Stom]

Yeah, we needed those two to be the other way round there...Pollock not got the decision making right yet. It'll come, but he butchered that.

[Lizard]

Ratima learned a lesson.

[Galfon]

Eng doing their best to snatch defeat here.

[Stom]

Commentators saying that Itoje played in the air, but the ref saying that Coles was offside.

And also: was that coming in the side, or swimming through? I always struggle to understand that.

[Stom]

And then that was a forward pass...why didn't they look at it?

[Puja]

Speaking of harsh yellows...

Narrative imperative?

[Stom]

After 3 not straights from NZ earlier that weren't given, now he gives it against England.

Sorry, but this game should be remembered for some great play, but the standard of reffing is abysmal.

[Stom]

This is frankly disgusting now. We're playing 16 men right now.

[Lizard]

Speaking of harsh yellows...

Puja

Had to even it up.

[Puja]

We needed that penalty. NZ were just getting momentum. Fantastic tackle by Dingwall.

Puja

[Lizard]

Why did Ratima kick that. Pointless.

[Stom]

Mitchell is a very good SH, but a pretty terrible tackler.

[Puja]

England need to STFU. Just heard the ref say, "No, I've stopped the clock because I'm annoyed with the way you're talking."

Puja

I'm afraid that I would make one big decision for England right now...drop Pollock. He's just been screaming and shouting and moaning and has made generally poor decisions. He cannot be doing this. Not good enough, and he needs to be told that it's not good by being dropped, imo.

Such a talent, but it is clearly obvious that he's 20 years old and barely into double digits of adult rugby starts. This is vital experience for him and he will learn.
