Farrell’s ‘pass’ to May....

16 min & no AB score..unusual.

Maybe it's a SH thing but what's with the shaved on top and the sides and leaving the back long?

Even on the replay, Barnes doesn't see the bounce

We look fresher than usual. Just me?

On way home now listening to 5 live. Fucking nerves are in bits!

We're going to an this, and it's going to be comfortable!

Crowd put us on the front foot. Young's and Ashton fully justifying their selections... Shields is bound to set up of scorenthe next points.

Sounds like you're at stage 3 WT

We're going to win the RWC, led by Sir Eddie!

Is this a dream?!?

McKenzie is the business. With his stature, would he be anywhere near the England team?

Twice now Ashton's pushed the ball away in goal area to delay restart...so soon ?

There will come a moment when NZ turn it on and effortlessly carve England open. It’s how they react to that that’ll decide it.

Farrell’s ‘tackle’ on B Smith.

Pressure tells..
15 - 7 after 39 min.
was going to say few unforced errors & pens. making a difference-Read's call from the pen. pays off.

What is Slade doing for Barrett’s inside ball? Madness!

Farrell’s ‘restart’.....

Been impressed with the backrow. Lawes was very good when he came on.

another pen..maybe huffing a bit...
still 15-10 at HT.
AB upping the gears though.
Great chance still - bench will mix things up too.

Farrell’s restart was directly responsible for that 3 points. ‘Ice Man’ my arse.

Still. If you’d given me 15-10 at half time I would have bitten your arm off for it.

Lawes apparently made 8 tackles in his cameo... impressive work rate.

Farrell's iceman reputation is something that I don't get. He chokes and throws hissy fits. Where's the cool in that?

Was listening to 5 Live when they scored. They said Farrell missed a tackle for the try. Then after the restart, they said a 'rare error from Farrell'. Sounds like 2 rare errors within a minute or so.

This is what winds me up with the media's obsession with Farrell. His mistakes usually don't even register.

I’m chronicling the major errors. I make it three. His absolutely abortion of a pass to Slade, when we were playing our way out of our 22, was very close to being the fourth.

Bouncing pass "to" May?

Apart from his running skills - McKenzie is a tough little nut. He has taken several monster tackles in this game so far. Just gets up and gets on with it.
England midfield defence starting to look a bit sloppy, as they did against SA last week.
Fair play to both sides for some absorbing rugby in really foul conditions.
