    Think you've got to say well done Eddie Jones. Literally every change he made came off. We were excellent all over the park. I can't see us beating the all blacks but we are definitely not without hope.

    I can't see it either, but he said we're not at our best yet. Who knows, but they ****ing destroyed the paddies.

    They did muller them. I just think Ireland peaked a year ago. Joe Schimdt admitted as much after the game, and I admired his honesty. NZ still have some naivety in their ranks which you'd expect with a young backline. Outside of that they just have outstanding talent in every area. There isn't a facet of the game you'd say they aren't great at. They are great at everything and absolutely ridiculous with the ball in hand. The quality of ball they get is massively important and we will need to be at our disruptive best without slipping into giving away penalties.

    I do think Jones is a wily old fox though. I think we will certainly give them a game but I'd see it ending up around the 38-25 type mark.

    Absolutely magnificent first half. Can’t think of a better first half from England for years given the opponents and the occasion.

    Now just a matter of another 40 minutes.

    When was the last time the All Blacks didn’t score a point in a half of rugby?

    Classy interview from All Black coach.

    Can only dream that football managers and coaches watch and learn how to accept a loss.
