NZ vs England - round 2

For all the good things he has done, Marcus Smith's decision making has been questionable on a few occasions today

[Mikey Brown]

Scary stuff from Smith.

I can’t wait to see how Jamie George is looking at full time.

The last two ‘mistakes’ were a preplanned move going nowhere and a hail mary on advantage.
The KAGADs I’ll give you… and then he puts in a great little touch finder.

[Mikey Brown]

Smith with the GAME MANAGEMENT!

Those aren't the only instances. He ran down a few blind alleys in the first half when passing down the line was open to him

[Mikey Brown]

Could really do with some dynamism from the bench, but who? Rodd or Sleightholme isn’t quite what I was thinking. Why have Sleightholme if we’re scared to use him though.

[Banquo]

Too many soft yards

Sorry, just assumed by the timing of your post that was what you were referring to.
Agreed but that’s his game - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but when it does... Don’t pick him if that’s not what you want. And I can understand not wanting it.

Next to zero chance we win this. Even if we get close the ref will find a way to give them a soft dubious penalty to give them the chance they need.

The “All Blacks” aura at work…

[Mellsblue]

Well, Freddie fucked that up.

[Banquo]

How to give away a match at the moment…

[Oakboy]

Steward's lack of pace is showing.

[FKAS]

Well, Freddie fucked that up.

Baxter flies in and takes Maro's man and leaves Freddie with a 2 on 1 in 20m.

+1. Get Ollie on and put Freeman or Slade to 15

[Mikey Brown]

Another fucking grubber.

[Banquo]

Fckin shyte kicking. Ridiculous stuff

[Captainhaircut]

Fin Smith has not been good since coming on. Ford a very large miss.

IFW had just made a tackle infield on the previous phase. Steward misread the situation badly. Needed to tread water not rush up.
Probs a try anyway but def a try once he charged up to man mark fresh air.

[Mikey Brown]

68 minutes for Baxter. Crazy.

[Mellsblue]

Steward's lack of pace is showing.

And turning like an oil tanker.

[Banquo]

Masterclass in stupidity at the moment

[Mikey Brown]

I’ve always hated Steward.

[Mellsblue]

Aarrgghh. I hate the head tapping bs.

[Oakboy]

Has Fin put weight on?

[Puja]

Berry just having no control over the scrum and taking up everyone's time. It'll be last play in a minute!
