Early days, if Eng slow it down just a bit, go through the phases a bit more I think it'll pay. Got to sort their lineout though...
 
Good stuff, not vintage but we got the result. Thought NZ looked a bit knackered towards the end.
 
Fair play to England, we're a team in an extended transition period at the moment and really aren't that good, could/should have lost to Scotland last week and have barely laid a glove on the Saffers the past few years, not sure I see a swift return to our former highs sadly :-(

Too many experienced Kiwi players are now in Japan and not getting selected. SA with no such restrictions is world number one. Hard to tell with rugby what the future holds.
 
A right slippery character.

Things went swimmingly for him.

My grandson was on an army training session at Sandhurst last week. Tuesday night they went for a meal in a nearby village when Pollock walked in followed by some other England players. They had been training nearby. Grandson is dead keen on union so it made his week. He was disgusted the ones with him couldn’t understand his excitement as they didn’t know who they were.

Watching the Wales/Japan game, 7 each so far. It's entertaining enough but the difference in quality between this and Eng/NZ is massive.
