    You're going to get a much better chase on a box kick though.

    True yes, but if you're guaranteeing touch - which we should be against this AB side - then it's not as important.

    Oh my fucking god that is just appalling. I really don't think Hartley has justified his selection at all

    Last 20 is usually where we run riot

    That's an awful kick from Burns (the one before the chip). Kicking to the edge of the 22 and there was literally no chase to talk of. You can't just hand possession over like that.

    Don't think we really deserve another try tbf.

    On the basis of the 2nd half we do. Just lack the support runners when we do break.

    Have to say Cipriani looking good since coming on

    Yarde should be playing for England for a long, long time. Missed him this season

    Yeah definitely. Once again though noone supporting him. Brown looked knackered as he jogged behind in the reverse angle replay.

    Finally a yellow card

  15. Weeman27bob BE Force

    I'd definitely have him has second in line behind Faz.

    This has been such a what-if series. I hope we take confidence from this series. Just need the consistency and we can be a really fantastic side. Not quite on the same level as these blokes are, but I'd like to see us face the saffers

    Lord, that's a hospital pass if there ever was one :laugh:

    Our tackling has been pretty abysmal all game.

  19. BoyBlunder BOY Blunder

    That stings... deserved to win that half. The difference between the two sides summed up right there. NZ so so much more clinical, and do all the basic things (first test aside) perfectly. I'd say on the balance of the series there were about 80 minutes we weren't on top/even and that's where we were ripped apart. If we can cut that down int he autumn we have a chance at Twickenham

    Think we know where we stand now.

    ABs clearly still a cut above. We can make excuses, the timing of the tour not the least of them, but, as the old cliche would have it, excuses are like arseholes: we all have them and very few stand up to close examination.
