Great response from England. That's what they needed. And this game is seeing an excellent see-saw battle. How will NZ respond now?

by Taylorman Sat 01 Dec 2012, 3:59 pm

Thats pretty freaky. England have this now bar a miracle.

by Geordie Sat 01 Dec 2012, 3:59 pm

England have been class.
he forwards sublime....and tuilagi shown what he can do.

Notable mention...tom youngs has been class....

by ALPanorak Sat 01 Dec 2012, 3:59 pm

Ok, so this is turning into a rout. NZ look shattered and its been a long year but credit to England's endeavour and execution, been excellent.

by kiakahaaotearoa Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:00 pm

Well NZ pushing the passes and Manu gets the intercept. That's probably the game but still want to see a NZ fight back.

by Pot Hale Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:00 pm

Unbelievable.

Top drawer stuff England. Best match of 2012, never mind the Autumn Internationals.

by Dave. Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:00 pm

Just brilliant, what rugby needs.

by mystiroakey Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:01 pm

Well done farrel- not just with his kicking he played well out there!

by mystiroakey Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:02 pm

Argg brown would have deserved that try!

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:02 pm

oooo nearly another, brilliant from Youngs (Ben). 3 more points surely?

Get the long year excuses out quick! You know the NH have long seasons too.

by nathan Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:04 pm

Manu for motm?

NZ can still come back.

by Taylorman Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:04 pm

Some key players have let us down. Carter, Smith, Read with the intercept. Gaps all ovber the place.

Tuilagis been the main difference. Before the match I kept mentioning him as key for England and I thought if he cracked then England would be in trouble. Well he hasnt. Hes the difference betwen the two sides. Well done.

by hawalsh Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:06 pm

That's a lot of changes for England. Good players coming on, I hope they keep it up and repay Lancaster's faith in bringing them on, it'll be great for the individual players and the collective if they do.

by Morgannwg Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:07 pm

Are NZ actually food poisoned then? This is a big margin of victory.

by Taylorman Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:07 pm

Score wil probably get worse. ABs will run everything to try and score and it will backfire.

by littleswannygirl Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:07 pm

I am seeing this for real aren't I?! It's not actually 4.00am and this is all a dream?

Fan blydi tastic! Yahoo

by mystiroakey Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:08 pm

hehe- i hope you lot took my advice and took that 9/1!!

rubbing my hands!! with joy and money!

BTW the money i won is immaterial to the way i feel. I knew we had this in us- we pretty much competted v aus- V SA we possibly played abit better than them but just messed up. And we have just outclassed the best team ever!!

btw i love this brown fella!! really impressed with him!

by Morgannwg Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:09 pm

Looking forward to hearing what Hansen says after this match.

by Pot Hale Sat 01 Dec 2012, 4:11 pm

Something tells me that Gatland's jibe against Robshaw was perfectly timed. He's been immense today - a real leader.
