England defence absolutely bamboozled there. Relatively straightforward switch play

Ye olde scissors, as old as the game itself

All Blacks far from perfect but effective in midfield.

Been on the cards, All Blacks have been one pass awsy from carving us open on a number of occasions.

I was just about to post that England looked to be blowing very early, & bang, Jordan cuts thru them

Another tackle off the ball, should be a pen

30 minutes into it and England look knackered.

Marius Jonker to fuck it up.

As soon as England's defence gets out of shape that NZ midfielder can exploit..worrying

NZ usual precision not there today, which is lucky for England because they would be getting really pumped at the moment if it was.

England rush defence seems very poorly thought out. You don’t just run as fast as you can and hope for the best which is what they seem to be doing.

As with all rush defences when it works it works well but looks like a bad decision when it doesn't.

Fuck off with this American Football high fiving and back slapping shite.

Scabnose might have adopted Eddies infamous training techniques

Never seen a team celebration for a tackle before

People saying NZ aren't being precise...they are playing lots of own percentage plays that even skilled players struggle to pull off

K'ing elll. Have we given up trying to score a try then..

I can see NZ running away with this in the 2nd half, then it’s full on gloating from Scarface.

ABs gifting England points like it's Xmas.

Enjoyable match so far even if England haven't looked like scoring a try

Disappointing DG from Smith with no advantage coming.

Only english player that looks like he can beat a player is Feyi-Waboso and he does look good. So naturally England will try to keep the ball away from him.

Lmao this drop goal tactic is fucking rubbish, please stop

England's defence has been their big winner and biggest loser. NZ far from their best but the better side in general. Good contest. Our rusty players look very rusty, Spencer is also having a bit of a mare, and we've not been great in the air. A few nice moments off Smith in attack but largely we're focusing on getting the ball in the air and whacking people. Slightly undermined by not getting anywhere near the ball on the floor too.

Yes you have.

The trouble is the ball was still live when England were busy celebrating...

Didn’t realise Sititi is a fucking poach from Scotland!

I am a fair and even poster. That’s a scandalous suggestion Sefton.

England midfield looks totally confused, they are giving Smith nothing to work with, Slade is fucking clueless.

His full name is Wallace William Braveheart Gibson Sititi, so it makes sense

Probably his great great grand mother.

Teams whose primary tactic is defensive pressure and big hits do this sort of thing in modern rugby I'm afraid.

Said before, Slade is a great club player. An international centre, no.

Standard tackle around the ankles between two locks... with the ball lost forward in contact.

But he can kick it a long way.
