There's a big old gap from what Carter to Cruden in kicking in open play, mind there's a big gap between anyone and Carter for decision making and execution of kicks in open play, Carter has the best open play and restart kicking game I've seen by so far it's almost funny
Yep- and they miss McCaw, Nonu and Smith too....unsurprisingly!
And Whitelock.

Well, there we are. Competitive for three quarters of the game, but once it comes to the death, NZ proved they are a class above us.

yep though Romano was ok. Whitelock is a class act- I just omitted him because he's not gone forever!

Typical of NZ that you play well against them and somehow lose by a decent number, typical of Wales to lose the plot in the lineout

Exactly. Scoreline is unfair, but they are still several levels above us.

I think he was referring to me misspelling Faletau's name originally. T-O-B-Y

It's why I don't bother anymore. I'd rather see us play Georgia.

Your boys played bloody well, though. The intent was great, the amount of ball Amos and North received is a good sign. If Eng perform like that in an hour I'll be happy.

glass half full and all that. Be a big job next week though- NZ learn quickly, as you saw second half.

I expect England to win. It's refreshing to hear we didn't play gatball but I'm just bored of Groundhog Day.

Indeed- that was nearly a great performance by Wales; lineout and missed tackles ultimately cost, but you cannot fault the ambition or plan (well apart from losing :( )

A much, much more entertaining test than I was anticipating. Hopefully your siege gun boot first five put an end to our playing Savea & Naholo in tandem.
