NZ Maori Vs England

[TRF_Olyy]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Strettle called up for his attempted tackle - just ran his shoulder into Gear

 

[MunsterMan]

That try really was a thing of beauty, started by the ambition of 20 year old Robbie Robinson, fair play.

NZ Maori, apart from that one attack have kicked the ball every time they have got the ball outside of the English 22. It must ******* stop! Playing right into England's hands.

 

[Teh Mite]

Good tackle Hodgson!

Wat? His foot was in touch? :blink:

 

[TRF_Olyy]

WTF was that by Danny Care?
That try was his fault.
Stood about 5m back from the back of the scrum, ball came out a little too fast, and the NZ SH just grabbed it and ran
13 - 17
McAllisters got a hell of a boot! That conversion couldnt have been more on the touchline


Also, these commentators need to get their facts straight, Coventry is NOT in Ireland

 

[MunsterMan]

Try Messam, Maori lethal on the counter, maybe they should stop kicking and attack more!

 

[MunsterMan]

Good tackle Hodgson!

Hodgson in fairness to him is an excellent cover defender. I have often seem him make try saving tackles, he corner flags like a scrumhalf. First up tackles on someone rampaging down the 10 channel are another story altogether. He can count himself unlucky there, Messam did well.

Maori kick it away again and give away the penalty, wahey!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

There's some nasty mullets in amongst the Maori team


Gear almost gets a second, but the ball just slips out of fingers as he collects a grubber on the tryline

 

[Teh Mite]

There's some nasty mullets in amongst the Maori team

You'd be forgiven for thinking it's a Super League match on first glance with all those Mullets!

OT: Strettle really, really is ****.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Helluva scrum by Doran-Jones
With him and Cole (and Wilson able to cover there) tighthead is looking pretty strong for England for a few years to come!

 

[Teh Mite]

Holy crap, McAlistair missed a kick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Penalty from a scrum
16 - 17

Aussie graphics think Hodgson is the captain, thought that was Robshaw?

Another scrum penalty, lineout 10out. England maul has been pretty poor so far, they should just scrap that idea

Danny Care gets try,
Not wanting to be outshone by Ben Youngs, he does one, finds a gap, and gets it down

23 - 17



Ashton try right on the hooter!
Maori attacking strong, Hodgson intercept, massive run, gives it to Ashton to get past the last defender. Laverly.

28 - 17

 

[MunsterMan]

Good try from Care! bullshit call, no way the Maori collapsed the maul, England couldn't live with the intensity the Maori were htting the maul with and it collapsed naturally, Joubert is very one eyed IMO.

 

[Teh Mite]

Where the hell has all this England-scoring-tries malarky coming from?


Strettle, Tait and Delon Armitage are still **** though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I thought Delon had a good half, best he's played all season

 

[Teh Mite]

I thought Delon had a good half, best he's played all season

All relative though, Ian Balshaw had a better season then Armitage.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Touché
Hodgson needs to stop tackling peoples boots with his face


Hosea Gear gets a try as i type that! The mans on fire tonight
24 - 28

 

[admartian]

This is insane - Gear HAS TO BE PICKED for the tri nations. Henry can't keep snubbing him.

 

[Teh Mite]

Parting of the white sea fot that try, 5 on two outside also.

McAlistair is my MOTM if he keeps up this form.

 

[admartian]

Wow, ALL THAT space!

HAT-TRICK!

 

[Jockstap]

How the hell is gear not in the AB's squad :huh:
