England v New Zealand

[TRF C A Iversen]

Nice try by the English

Look England deserve a try, no doubt. They are playing well enough to deserve it. Absolutely, but that's a double movement. It's a grey area in rulings and I'd be calling it a double movement for any NZ'er who did it.

Any doubt, look back at all the good things I've said about respecting the English.

Aye, Try was "dubious" (read: wrong ) Ashton was offside and double movement by Hartley
Not complaining though!



Toeava on, just need Donald now so we can mount a comeback :lol:

Still in context of the game, the English have worked well and truly hard enough and well enough to have deserved one.

Tut tut Dan Carter,
Don't think I've ever seen foul play by him before!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hartley saying he was gouged!

Edit:
Shold've been a yellow for Hartley on replay!
Elbow to McCaw in the ruck

Nice hit by Thorn

Exelent first half by the kiwis and very poor one by England. Good start for England in the second half. With 13 minutes to go I think the Kiwis will win

This is why Olyy should be an English commentator, no bias and calls things straight.

I feel the English have really shown fitness here and may end up having some real energy left for the last 5mins.

Bullitt was saying Armitage is dirty and will high tackle - what's the first thing Armitage does?
High tackle.

 

[woodward]

bad high shot, Toeava looking good

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Easter playing out of his ******* skin there!

 

[Amobokoboko]

No try, pity

 

[Charles]

Hape, Hape, Hape...

Toeava shoulder charging there...

High tackle.

Well, credit where credit's due. He's spot on right then.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Toeava and Nonu both with illegal tackles in the run up to that no-try.

Think Fourie got under Carters skin a bit there, seems to have put him off a bit

 

[TRF C A Iversen]

Hape, Hape, Hape...

Toeava shoulder charging there...

Yep, I didn't spot arms in that to be honest. I'd almost have ruled something there.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Not a bad game, Gear played a really good game. don't know if Roc's will be in the starting line up next week

 

[Sker]

I thought that was a great game, Carter played well, SBW didn't do so bad either. I'm actually worried for the first time that England might give us a whipping when we play them later the month.

Do you guys think the two hookers will get cited? That elbow looked dangerous...

 

[TRF C A Iversen]

Andy Ellis needs to realise that no fullback and no pace means grubber for space.

Anyhow, I sense Conrad Smith and Jimmy Cowan were amongst some guys who showed their use in this match.

Good game England you played really well in the 2nd half.

close game and quite nerve racking to watch.
