[TightHEAD]

No4 black is allowed to hold people in headlocks?

[BigGee]

England eventually get a call, nothing wrong with that

[tigertattie]

Breaking news. Jonker has ruled England’s try’s in the 2nd minute is to be scratched off as Nigel Owens was offside

[Heaf]

Can we sub the TMO ...

[mikey_dragon]

Pinched. That will give NZ oomph for sure.

[BigGee]

Bad mistake

Now it gets interesting

[Taylorman]

Dont think SH tmos should be allowed. Too biased. The real score is 24-0

So two incorrect calls should have been made?

The non comprehension of what is correct here is incredible.

As jack Nicolson said...you can’t handle the truth.

Disagree.  First call :OK .  But that one was not. Just seemed to be looking for some - any - minor technical excuse to overturn the try.  Ok maybe I'm paranoid

But NZ do seem to get a lot of those arguable decisions...

First one was clear obstruction on Sam Whitelock who was the tackler for the ball carrier.
Second was a clear knock forward into the hands of the player in front. The ball cant go that way.

Anyway, try ABs.

[Guest]

TMO, oops

[Guest]

What are you playing at?!

[Geordie]

Aaawww and there it is

[Dirtydave]

Was itojes hand played in the air there?

[Engine#4]

Interference by Retallick?

*edit No, fair.

[RiscaGame]

Christ. Wouldn’t have expected England to do that. Given them an in, when they’ve deserved nothing.

[tigertattie]

Why isn’t the TMO reviewing that NZ try?

[Guest]

Yes! Come on boys

[LondonTiger]

Awful mistake

[owen10ozzy]

Perfect line outs essentially...then when our actual line out blokes are on we give away a soft one like that! Disastrous!!

[Dirtydave]

Itoje played retallik!!!! Wtf?!

[Geordie]

Regroup boys....

[LondonTiger]

Was itojes hand played in the air there?

Nah, ball already passed Itoje

[Duty281]

Awful from England. Given the Kiwis a pathway back when they didn’t remotely look like scoring.

[Taylorman]

Mo’unga kicks it
How’s that lineout looking LT?

Wasn't knock forwards - George had his hand on it all the time

[Guest]

Underhill!

[tigertattie]

Underhill. Boom

[tigertattie]

Jonker has his buzzer ready

[Geordie]

Aaahh underhill

[stub]

Great response from England

[Taylorman]

Jordie Barrett is not test quality. Don’t know how many times we have to say that, is crap under pressure.

[Collapse2005]

NZ need to be given some yellows

[Geordie]

Hhmmm points lost there we should have come away with a try.

[RiscaGame]

Great response.

[Heaf]

How many pens now in the red zone?

[BigGee]

Two scores clear again, 18 mins to play

[Duty281]

Terrible decision to offload under pressure.

England should have made it 7, not 3 though. Back to a two score lead.

[RiscaGame]

Could be key that. ABs don’t look like getting many points to me. Should still be on nil, bar the gift.

[Dirtydave]

This young kiwi backline are absolutely useless in this situation...

They've been targeted and absolutely exploited, especially both wings

[No 7&1/2]

Savea is class. That's a blow.
But hes still there the tough bigger.

[Collapse2005]

England backrow is much better than NZs. Underhill is immense, Curry too.

[Taylorman]

Geez, another Crusader on the field. Meet the boys Willie.

[kingelderfield]

Tide is turning our way

[Duty281]

Has been another tactical masterclass from Eddie, hope he gets the right result at the end.

[Taylorman]

Could be key that. ABs don’t look like getting many points to me. Should still be on nil, bar the gift.

You mean Youngs try? True.

[Guest]

Savea done knee, not good

[Taylorman]

Come on ABs, get these turkeys.

[stub]

Another one forwards?

[stub]

Hmmm

[tigertattie]

Where’s jonker???

Surely he needs to be stopping the game?

[Engine#4]

Forward again. This is getting ridiculous

[BigGee]

Hand on the floor from England there
