England's centres are not covering themselves in glory in attack.
What is this 'attack' of which you speak?

Poor pass from Earl absolutely killed Lawrence's momentum there.

How the feck was that not called in the first tackle from the lineout, for not rolling away and slowing it down. It's been going on for a while, but that one was a killer and so obvious

So he lets a blatant slow down by not rolling away, but then pings the ABs for that? Balances things a bit I guess...

Has one of the coaches told Steward that he's a running, attacking full back?

Wasn't much he could do there, no time to kick, had to try and run. I'd be asking more questions as to where his support was

Just doesn't have the speed to evade. Furbank evades the tackle and starts a counter on that.

I thought there were 2 faster players who had run behind him to give options. Anyway that's what led to the try.

The others covering the back field cannot stand off or even go wider like that when Steward gathers the ball. They need to be closing the gap almost before he gets the ball so that they can clear the inevitable ruck as Steward just doesn't get past the chaser.

BB playing better this week than last week. Faster service from the halfback is helping
EDIT: should not have kicked that one

all stemmed from Freddy fuck up Steward trying to run a ball out that should never have been run.

If you're not ahead by 20 with 20 to go against NZ, you're losing the match.

I’m liking the pace that Cortez has brought to the NZ attack. He’s given us a new gear.
