[2014 Mid-Year Tests] New Zealand vs England (1st Test)

[austingtir]

Mate come on.
The saffers have been awesome and they are the pick to win the RWC 2015.

Nope they didnt beat us last year even once and they should have.

 

[Vasile Andreica]

ugly ugly win for the All Blacks... but England made a lot of small mistakes when dominating and should have gone for the try at least two times instead of kicking for goal, they had the better forward pack...

 

[Tony Manx]

Great spirit and well played England with more luck and a better display from Owens....who knows! They created the chances but the AB's took their one and that was the difference and there lay the loss!

 

[austingtir]

Hopefully this game has given us the wake up call we needed. Some player NEED to be dropped. Dagg, Cruden and Woodcock are top of the list for me.

 

[Big Ewis]

yeah I don't give a fk. This came all too close for NZ. WAYYYYYYY too close at home vs a weakened England.

 

[Darwin]

Perenara you ****wit!

 

[dasNdanger]

My game must be on a bit of a delay...

EDIT: K - just finished. Whew. But that was crap win, nothing to get too excited over.

Harsh lines for you English supporters.
You deserved better than that and it may come as early as next week.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What the **** that wasn't a penalty either.
Barrett went over the ball but his hands were on the floor not the ball. That's a penalty to England, not to ABs.


Before the game I'd have snapped your hand off for a 5pt loss, but pure incompetence on the part of Nigel Owens turned that test into a farce.

 

[Darwin]

Good work by Vito at the end there.

Will comment more once I calm down from this dismal performance.

Man we were lucky there... Well played England

I think it was summed up.....England will be stronger but AB's will be better.............could be great series though!

 

[Big Ewis]

bravo England. Bravo, bravo.
All-Blacks will come out firing next week, no doubt. They'll be nothing like this here.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

England deserved more and at least a draw. Bring on the 2nd test.

Agreed it's a shame really

Barrett was rubbish as well though so no real claim on the starting jersey. Dagg has to go though.

Kaino was the best AB by far

 

[The Jones Boy]

I think we can safely agree that ALL northern hemisphere referees are complete rubbish !!

;-)

I will be very surprised if we dont see more than 4 changes for next week!!

 

[The Jones Boy]

Why is it I didn't hear Liam Messam's name at all during that game?
