England vs New Zealand - Sunday 19th April 7.30pm

[Puja]

A back row move! I haven't seen one of those in years!

Puja

[Mellsblue]

All Matt Dawson’s fault.

[Puja]

Sh*t. What a crap try to give away.

Puja

[Puja]

We've been shit in this first half. A couple of nice breaks, but other than that, it's been laboured and littered with errors. For all the pre-match furore about Simpson-Daniel, I don't think he's touched the ball yet.

Puja

[Puja]

Dawson was thought an average passer but, well, you know where I’m going...

You wait till you see some of the later efforts. Bracken/Healey every day of the week for me.

There's a good example. Short simple pass that managed to be slow, high, and wide of Wilkinson. Lucky that wasn't against a modern-day rush defence or we'd be short one fly-half with the way his ribs were exposed

Puja

[Mellsblue]

Lovely. Whoever slid in to Moody should see yellow. JSD was superb in the build up.

[Puja]

That was a bit special. Lovely work from JSD and Wilkinson, turning a 4 on 3 underlap into a 2 on 1 overlap.

Puja

[Puja]

Right, break for half-time. It's not on my recording (thankfully), but you guys imagine Dewi Morris gurning at you for 10 minutes while I grab some food.

Puja

[Beasties]

You forget just bow lively Johnny was ball in hand.

[Puja]

Looking forward to Grewcock and Johnson in tandem.

Who tf's Johnston?

Ben Johnston, Saracens centre. He's a good solid player, although I'd rather we be using this opportunity to give Phil Christophers another chance.

Well, we're getting to see him now!

Puja

[Puja]

JSD on Lomu!

Puja

[Puja]

That is a try and a half. Great turnover, 40m counterattack, JSD nearly replicates his Barbarians score, dummy switch and all, then Wilkinson making the most of his reputation to bamboozle the Kiwis.

Mind, had the TMO got involved, we definitely knocked on in that last ruck.

Puja

[Puja]

Was that a bounce pass by Wilkinson for that Cohen try?!

3 tries in 10 minutes. Not a bad purple patch.

Puja

[Mellsblue]

I had forgotten how quick Howlett is/was.

[Puja]

Commentary saying "No-one else on the planet scores that try," for Lomu's second, but you'd suspect that he doesn't score that against any other nation on the planet. We're still scared of him.

Puja

[Puja]

Dawson's having a rubbish game. Needless penalty.

Puja

[Beasties]

Thanks for showing that Puja, very entertaining once I'd worked out how to use the app.

[Mellsblue]

Good game. This bunch look like they have what it takes.

My biggest and most incisive take away from the game is that the years have been harsh on Mike Tindall.

Cheers Puja

[loudnconfident]

Many thanks for hosting, Puja - my connection not good but just added to the tension!

[Puja]

That was fun! Everyone good for same time next week for the Australia game?

Puja

[Mellsblue]

I’m in.

[Timbo]

I’d forgotten how tight that game was in the end.

I bet Healy was happy to get on for 3 minutes at the end there.
Next week sounds good- is that the Oz game?

[Beasties]

Yup.
