England v New Zealand - 2 November 2024

[Ddanno]

Good try but NZ were making dents beforehand. They've still played 90% of the rugby and will be pretty frustrated at the scoreboard.

We've definitely got into his ear about early shots and are making the defence a proper weapon. I'm all for that letting us keep up.

 

[Reiser99]

Looked high on Earl. Didn't look like he was falling

TMO has been pretty active, so surely it was looked at.

 

[jordiev]

Would be careful if I was england here, getting a but chirpy risk getting bad side of angus.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah would be very interested in seeing a replay on that high hit
Definitely looked like he was falling but also always looked high

Feel like in the Prem that's checked

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Marcus Smith > Beauden

Not a compliment.

 

[Reiser99]

So who's captain now or is it time for a committee?

Presumably Itoje

Not a compliment.

What about at fullback?

 

[TommiG88]

Definite knock on from Slade

Definite knock on from Slade

Yep, but we deserved a break.

 

[Which Tyler]

If you average out the visual age of Baxter and Cole, you'd have 2 props in their prime.

 

[Saintjay]

Marcus Smith > Beauden

Not a compliment.

Still nice watching international tens who have more pace than my nan though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Momentum shifting

What's that supposed to mean?
Ireland always produce athletic specimens at 10

Ronan O.... I mean Jonny Se..... I mean Ross Byr..... Hmm

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

How did NZ get their have on the guy at the back of the maul without changing their bind...?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wtf was that
Can we sub Theo Dan off straight away?
Spencer literally trying to pull the ball from his arms as the ref shouts to use it

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

If NZ had a line out they’d be dangerous.

Though Dan’s first throw was par for the course.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Love that kick, Union can learn a lot from league-style goal line kicking

Like shallow/almost horizontal grubbers

 

[TommiG88]

Gardner is one of the worst refs in international rugby

 

[jordiev]

Puss poor from gardiner there.. like 3 incidences of foul play just play on lads just play on
