NZ v England

[RobLev]

The bitching from the British media was because Brodie Retallick got Courtnay Lawes' name wrong. Well so fvcking what?

...

Courtney...

England might be sending over a half-baked team full of guys still knackered from their domestic season, but by God, the English shall never lose a pedantry battle.

Courtney...

Well there you go, see? I've heard of him but spelled his name wrong.

Whoopdie doo!!

Tut tut. It's Whoopie doo or Whoop de doo.

How has Nonu got away with that!

 

[Simon Thomas]

Do note that at every time England get any momentum NZ give away a PK.

The shoulder charges into rucks targeting Haskell, Morgan and Parling are somewhat cynical too. I have yet to see Black #3 offer an arm when ploughing into a ruck.

 

[Ian_Cook]

Nz playing like they have only just met.

Actually I have yet to see ANY player entering the ruck legally. Black in without binding; White in from the side a LOT

Same way Haskell got away with tackling Dagg in the air.

 

[Ian_Cook]

Did you see that Browner? Ball ripped out of Nonu's hands in the tackle. Knock on against the Ball Carrier!

 

[Simon Thomas]

Twice in last two minutes Mike Brown has fielded the ball in his in-goal and uses a single hand hold on top of the ball as he touches down - very poor technique, asking for a "Campese" moment and a poor example to kids.

 

[Toby Warren]

Good guts from England so far - nz's bench should pay out now.

 

[The Fat]

Having a laugh at you guys. One eye on the telly and one on rugbyrefs.com
It'll kill the game for ya concentrating on a keyboard.
Two KOs called by Nigel. One in first half against May was correct but that one at 49 minutes is a dud call. Karma at work when Dagg knocks on in next play.
C'mon England. Give the Wallabies some hope for the Bledisloe

 

[Simon Thomas]

Woodcock very pleased to be going off !

 

[Ian_Cook]

The unforced errors are bloody killung us

 

[Simon Thomas]

Disgraceful booing and whistling by NZ crowd as Burns kicks - I thought Kiwis were better than that.

 

[Toby Warren]

yarde was a stonewall yellow.

I don't understand why Nz didn't cop one for the PK on their goal line.

 

[crossref]

How can that be a YC when he didn't YC NZ for the same offence 1 METRE from own line

 

[The Fat]

Watch the slow mo replay. It looks like Yarde actually strips the ball as they are going down.
Game changer.

 

[Simon Thomas]

FK for feeding - hurrah.
