Cracking 2nd half by england, i had them as slight favourites before the game, but that really was a powerful dominant display i thought.

Blamed him and George for the line outs,
‘The line-out is a multi-man operation, but it is the hooker's responsibility and thus George shoulders blame for its complete implosion.’
‘Like George, it is hard to look past how much of a calamity the line-out was and Itoje was twice pinged. Spoilt an otherwise excellent performance.’

‘Fully deserved his try after doing so much dirty work chasing high balls, which he did superbly. Feels like he has quietly become an integral part of this team.’

The writer also declared Dingwall is the new long term English 12 which I don’t believe everyone will agree with.
Today was comfortably his best game tbf, didn't even give away his customary 7
Definitely growing into it

I feel sorry for Wales next week
Of course, I feel sorry for the Welsh most weeks, but that's just for being Welsh...
This time, I think they'll be having a painfully unenjoyable 80 minutes as well.

He took his try well, did some things well, but also got caught out a number of times getting pulled in. I wouldn’t have given him more than a 6
ha yeah I mean it's a poor take given the result but it's true insofar as if he doesn't make it to a world cup then it's all wasted time really. Although some would certainly say these games matter in their own right and getting a win like today is worth it - I basically agree with that, although I do think in the six nations we should be looking to the fduture, to use the cliche.
On a side note - Ford must have one of the highest success rates at drop goals foro enlgnad - infinitely higher than Farrell, Hodgson, all these guys. Probably comparable with Wilkinson. It's easy to forget that for the last two decades a dropgoal attempt you just assumed would miss and Ford has to his credit inverted that

Steward did some good things and then went off with a HIA? I know he didn't play long but 5 still seems harsh. Maybe i missed some thingsSteward - 5England v New Zealand ratings: Redemption for Ford as Dingwall produces breakout performance

Roebuck usual classy game for him but his pace gots exposed a couple of times.
I'd say Earl should have been 8, even with the YC.
Fair play to Borthwick he obv sees something in Dingwall and stuck with him and give him a few games to build form and he played well. Not sure he will continue as full first choice but a solid reliable back up at very least.
Danny Care said ford now has 9 drop goals for England.
Johnny Wilkinson has 36 or something.

To be fair, Dingwall and Lawrence worked very well together today, interchanging between 12 & 13.
I still think that's an area Borthwick and Blackett will be looking at, but you can't complain with beating the AB's ...so there's a good base to start with.
