[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 654323, member: 44093"] From the NZ perspective I thought Cruden and Jane both answered their critics (myself included) from last week. Cruden was really well organised I thought, took the right options. In comparison I thought the game got very sloppy when Barrett came on. He did a few nice things in broken play but didn't direct traffic very well off phase play. Our attack was a bit aimless. For the English, didn't really show up in the first half and we took most of our chances. I thought Yarde had a good second half on attack, he had a couple of poor moments on defense in both halves. Ashton was rubbish, hard to imagine that's the best England have. Burns suffered as a result of going backwards, but Cipriani added something when he came on. He is truly the only English 10 whose natural instinct it is to take the ball to the line. He has to start for you guys I reckon. If your pack gets beaten all the other 10s look clueless whereas Cipriani can still do something. [/QUOTE]
