[QUOTE="Paul Psychic Octopus, post: 974776, member: 81717"] There are many, many angles to analyse whether NZ were poor, if England were too strong etc. but for me two things stood out: 1. England conceded hardly any penalties and minimal handling errors, denying NZ the chance to play on the front foot. 2. The breakdown was awesome. Hansen picked a lock forward in the back row. That was meant to overwhelm England's line out but it was actually pretty solid (apart from the gift overthrow for their only score). But it ceded an advantage to England in the breakdown and the turnover stats speak for themselves. [/QUOTE]
