[2014 EOYT] England vs New Zealand

[Mikel92]

If the All Blacks can make meters that easily inside England's half then they have worries. Although clearly we need to buck up on our tackles too, and get that possession.

I think it's a try. It only has to touch one blade of grass with paint on it, and it did.

Very very very close, but still a try.

 

[j'nuh]

Hmm...double movement. But awarded

No such thing as double movement in union. You are allowed to place the ball when you hit the ground.

Ummmm, yeh there is? That wasn't one, but it certainly exists. Maybe that's what you meant.

Who let Stuart Barnes have a go on the video analysis software?
That was horrendous.

 

[Big Ewis]

great goal kicking Farrell.

Yeah...he also made the exact same point as 3 minutes before, right?

 

[Peat]

Mmph. Worrying difference in finishing but lets see how it goes, we're on top with the pack so far it feels.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

England are playing with so much more intensity than NZ right now.

 

[Bean]

20 mins hit, only 7pts in front. Game over England, they need to be much further a head after expending that energy.

Check the rules mate. You aren't allowed two cracks at it, once the ball is down, it stays down.

That's pretty stupid analysis really though, isn't it? You could write for the Daily Mail in this country.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lawes off in the concussion bin. Step up Kruis!

Is that really a penalty on Hartley? Bit soft.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Harsh penalty? Hartley's rep possibly not helping!

 

[Darwin]

Good boy Aaron. Rubbish call by the touch judge though...

It's a recurring theme with the ABs.

 

[j'nuh]

Ummmm, yeh there is? That wasn't one, but it certainly exists. Maybe that's what you meant.

It's a league term that has seemed to carry through to union, but it doesn't actually exist in the rules. In league, if the tackle is complete you are not allowed to place the ball. In union, you are allowed to reach forward for the tryline, as long as it is done immediately after hitting the floor.

 

[Darwin]

Aaron Smith needs to stop kicking the ball quite so much....

 

[Jaguares]

HUGE defense by English

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ, we did well to hold out then!
Especially when Wilson and Kruis were both layed out on the ground!
