England vs New Zealand

Farrell’s ‘pass’ to May....

[Galfon]

16 min & no AB score..unusual.

[Freddo]

Maybe it's a SH thing but what's with the shaved on top and the sides and leaving the back long?

Even on the replay, Barnes doesn't see the bounce

[Danno]

We look fresher than usual. Just me?

[WaspInWales]

On way home now listening to 5 live. Fucking nerves are in bits!

Steamrolly-poly..try Hartley, con. Faz
15-0 after 25 min..

[Danno]

I didn't know we could maul at all, let alone maul a team into next week

[Which Tyler]

Insane optimism has suddenly kicked in.

We're going to an this, and it's going to be comfortable!

Crowd put us on the front foot. Young's and Ashton fully justifying their selections... Shields is bound to set up of scorenthe next points.

Sounds like you're at stage 3 WT

We're going to win the RWC, led by Sir Eddie!

[Mellsblue]

Is this a dream?!?

McKenzie is the business. With his stature, would he be anywhere near the England team?

[Galfon]

Twice now Ashton's pushed the ball away in goal area to delay restart...so soon ?

[I R Geech]

There will come a moment when NZ turn it on and effortlessly carve England open. It’s how they react to that that’ll decide it.

Farrell’s ‘tackle’ on B Smith.

[Galfon]

Pressure tells..
15 - 7 after 39 min.
was going to say few unforced errors & pens. making a difference-Read's call from the pen. pays off.

[Mellsblue]

What is Slade doing for Barrett’s inside ball? Madness!

[cashead]

That’s something we didn’t hear until now under Read - Read yammering away at the ref, like a captain should.

[Mellsblue]

Farrell’s ‘restart’.....

[cashead]

What the fuck, Dylan? Caught offside and then just hugged Aaron Smith. That’s your captain, England.

[Freddo]

Been impressed with the backrow. Lawes was very good when he came on.

[Galfon]

another pen..maybe huffing a bit...
still 15-10 at HT.
AB upping the gears though.
Great chance still - bench will mix things up too.

[Scrumhead]

Farrell’s restart was directly responsible for that 3 points. ‘Ice Man’ my arse.

Still. If you’d given me 15-10 at half time I would have bitten your arm off for it.

[Insouciant]

Lawes apparently made 8 tackles in his cameo... impressive work rate.

Farrell's iceman reputation is something that I don't get. He chokes and throws hissy fits. Where's the cool in that?

Was listening to 5 Live when they scored. They said Farrell missed a tackle for the try. Then after the restart, they said a 'rare error from Farrell'. Sounds like 2 rare errors within a minute or so.

This is what winds me up with the media's obsession with Farrell. His mistakes usually don't even register.

I’m chronicling the major errors. I make it three. His absolutely abortion of a pass to Slade, when we were playing our way out of our 22, was very close to being the fourth.
