New Zealand vs England - Sunday 10th May

[Mikey Brown]

outgunned by Lee Mears? or maybe it was the cunning of George Chuter

I miss that nice dyslexic lad who used to post on here and consistently called him “Chunter”.

Right, highlights of the 2003 6N going up in a minute. England vs France to start off with. Game should be go just after 7.30pm due to small children. Stream can be found here: https://discord.gg/uaxBxbP

Did anyone else remember Hodgson played 12 in this 6N? I thought it was the one after, where everything went wrong.

Puja

[Timbo]

Yeah I remember that. Everyone thought it’d be Hodgson at 10 and Wilko at 12 if they played together, but Clive in his wisdom...

[Puja]

Anyone here? I appear to be on my own.

Puja

[loudnconfident]

just me so far..

[Puja]

Jason Leonard swapping to the tighthead. Incredible versatility.

Amazing how condescending the Kiwi commentary team are. Talking about "England have said they're coming here looking to win," with the "Awww, isn't that adorable" only just left unsaid.

Well, you're a good enough reason not to just call it off. Bit disappointing though.

Just don't leave me alone talking on here!

Puja

[Puja]

Just the right start for England. Lots of pressure in defence and not letting the Kiwis settle.

The Kiwi commentators will not stop *whining* about the ref giving penalties against the ABs. The first one was marginal, granted, but the rest have been because the ABs were cheating.

Absolute silence from them when the ref misses an obvious NZ knock on though.

whinging about the ref already

[Puja]

Wilko's having an iffy start. Penalty and 22 drop out kicked straight into touch.

Puja

very jerky stream for me - will log off and back on again of thats OK

[loudnconfident]

Nervy start for England. Hope they dont get blown away by the ABs...

Is it any better? Have changed a few settings.

Thompson's a waste of space as a lineout thrower. Hope we never have to rely on him to hit the back in a crucial moment of a RWC final.

whinging about the ref already

"No room for any error apparently. If it's even slightly off centre..." whinges the commentary after New Zealand throw so squint that even their side struggle to grab it.

Puja

[Puja]

Bracken's passing is not as good as I remember it being. Better than Dawson's, but that's a low bar to trip over.

Puja

[Puja]

Lucky the TMO only did tries back then. That was a yellow if they could've identified the player.

NZ joining their commentary team in underestimating us. Kick to the corner, turned over again. They do genuinely believe that it's just a matter of time before they run away with it.

Puja

[loudnconfident]

Commentators still on about Dickinson...

[Puja]

FFS Thommo!

No complaining about the amount of penalties being awarded when it's against England. Not convinced Back was offside there. I think he just set off perfectly as Marshall picked up the ball.

Right, 15 minute break for halftime today, due to children. See you in a bit.
