England vs New Zealand - 15/11/2025

[Scotty]

Fair play to ford that game he controlled well, kicked 2 drop goals to get us back into it and attacked well.

Beating the ABs by 14 points is not to be sniffed at especially with a YC in the last 20 min. Happy with that

Scrum is developing into a bit of a weapon. Line out was bad. But I thought we controlled most of the second half by dominating the contract area

Impressive really as we are missing a few starters.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I'll go out on a limb and say England will confirm their place at the top table winning 22 - 16.

Surprised England didn't make it tricky for themselves but I still have more balls than all of you England fans who wouldn't say it.

Pussies.

 

[Geordie]

Good win.

Got out of jail a few times but had a few questionable decisions against them.

Still a couple of positions to be fixed but in general Borthwick is slowly building a very good team and squad

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Great game. Congrats England.

Apart from the whole going 12-0 down thing.

What's been the story of the game, in brief?

Hope they ok.

 

[BrokenWing]

Really annoys me there isn't a half decent highlights show for any of this. 7 minutes of highlights on YouTube (thankfully none wasted by the haka) but it's like the person editing them doesn't even like rugby.

 

[mkersyshull]

TNT put up 1 hour highlights (but I'm guessing you mean for those without TNT)

That last word is key here, Borthwick is continuously making changes and building a squad not a 15, take our back row, TCurry Underhill Earl, Pepper Pollock CCS and that's without TWillis BCurry ect.

I do, yes. I'm not forking out for TNT when I can't guarantee I'd even see the things I'm paying to watch. I also don't want to subsidise car pointing and the other 90% of boring nonsense.

Considering an NFL game is a hour, there are usually 15 -20 minutes of highlights for each game on YouTube. So either bugger all happens in a rugby match or they're grudgingly putting up a few minutes.

Anyway, enough of me complaining, well done England.

 

[Scotty]

Really liking the points flow graphics on the rugby pass app really shows the up and down of the score board.(took se getting used to reading)

 

[Geordie]

What did people think of Dingwalls performance?

Much better, even if you ignore his try. Some lovely tip ons and dummy lines. Looked like he'd found his groove with Lawrence. I think he wallied a beaut of a pass out wide to Roebuck as well

 

[higgik]

George Ford motm? You joking me

Earl was MoM. Always offering the carry and making good yards, ran intelligent lines, and was defensively sound.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Smith was quietly competent at FB, I thought.

My brother in all things good, you just hammered New Zealand. Be happy.

Given the worry we had about props a few seasons ago it’s crazy how we haven’t missed our lions props as starters

Heyes and Baxter are really growing together

Yeah quite apart from the rock solid set piece they were smashing everyone in defence like 6's and always up for a carry. I like it.

 

[Becca]

Great result and some decent play at times.

Always lovely to beat the AB’s
