Faz has been carrying not for too long to just run itnoff, and HT is too far away to rely on treatment then being enough.

Play on and we risk losing him for next week!

BTW, have you seen the sheer quantity of chat from Sinck? He's constantly talking to Moody or to the NZ player in the l/o...seems to be working.

And Taylor is having a mare, wouldn't be surprised to see him yanked at H/T

NZ play so much of their rugby off turnover ball, and we're not giving the ball up very much. Our carrying has been mainly accurate, which is very good news.

And our flanks have been superb.

Delighted to be 10-0 up
Worried it should be double that, and may well need to have been.

NZ aren't playing great, but that's because we've forced them to try too much. They'll tighten up for the second half.

Also concerned that Youngs is having a poor day, and Farrell can barely walk...
