We wuz robbed! A ref who let them away with a deliberate foul to avoid us scoring a try but didn't let us away with it. We can claim a moral victory...
I'd say a moral victory to us even though we lost. With a full team next week, it's gonna be interesting.
Missed the second half, but, despite it being a loss, a great result for England. Good discussion on 5 Live after the game. Ian Robertson is one of the few commentators I actually listen to and learn from. He reckoned 7 changes for England next week, but All Blacks at least 25% better. I'm looking forward to it already.
Great credit to the England team. But really brave decision by the rusty All Blacks to run that penalty. Can't begrudge them the win
hardly brave England were all In the middle waiting for the pen why are the all blacks being called rusty all those players have been playing every week in the supposedly superior super 15 next week will be a more reliable look at both teams
They had a clear cut chance at 3 points to win the match. I cannot think of any other international team that wouldn't have settled for that. I'd say brave, because if it hadn't come off (and it nearly didn't) they would have looked pretty foolish. It's a brave team that takes that risk to finish with a flourish imo. Rusty - well, there were quite a few personal errors true, but as I understand it, this is the first time this team has played together in 2014. They'll improve, so will England with key players coming back. Looking forward to it.
