Stay humble

[Duty281]

Good call, Nige.

[Taylorman]

So much for the deadly kickers huh? Farrell, Daly. Next?

[whocares]

England forwards have done such a great job. Shame their 9 and 10 are not up to the same level.

[LondonTiger]

Hansen blinks first with a change at half time.

Yanks Barrett off, perhaps an admission that it was a risk that did not work out? Happens sometimes, and you do have to take risks so that's life.

[Pal Joey]

Double intercept! Don't see that often.

[BigGee]

Absolute chaos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[No 7&1/2]

Love ben youngs. Always makes the right decision just in time.

[Heaf]

Retalick had Curry round the neck there.

Yep spotted that

[Dirtydave]

Owen Farrell very lucky boy, 2 massive high hits there

[Collapse2005]

Try coming

[stub]

Come on England!

[eirebilly]

This game just gets better and better.

[Geordie]

My nerves are shredded.

[stub]

Come on England!

[mikey_dragon]

Eases him off the ball - the commentators say.

Shoved out of the way - see the rest of us!

Should have waved that one on tbh.

Great score by Youngs.

[Collapse2005]

Come on England!!!

[BigGee]

Ben Youngs, what a try

[majesticimperialman]

What a try, what a try 15 nil.

[tigertattie]

Youngs looks out of place in this England side

This post didn’t age well

[TightHEAD]

Great player youngs

[mikey_dragon]

I think Owens is checking it.

[Geordie]

Best scrun half in the world

[Dirtydave]

Another disallowed very unlucky

[Taylorman]

Good try Youngs, oops, going back

[BigGee]

Are they checking this?

[Collapse2005]

SH tmo to the rescue?

[Geordie]

Oh dear .

[Dirtydave]

Maybe not oooo

[BigGee]

That looks ok

[Collapse2005]

SH decision

[tigertattie]

What an utter nonsense call. That’s ridiculous

[No 7&1/2]

Not being favoured in these close calls.

[Taylorman]

Come on England. Score em legally.

[TightHEAD]

That is Love sacks world rugby f off

[stub]

Shocker!

[Dirtydave]

I don't think George has ever let go of that ball...

England have been robbed there

[Collapse2005]

Absolute nonsense

[MightyQuin]

This TMO is having a laugh

[mikey_dragon]

Yeah wasn’t the argument that George didn’t lose it?

[RiscaGame]

Gutted.
That said, there’s not a hint of NZ coming back into this.

[Geordie]

Yup...TMO saving the abs

[BigGee]

ooch, no try

TMO got sharp eyes

[eirebilly]

That is absolute rubbish by Jonker... This sort of thing is killing the game.

[TightHEAD]

That could be a kiwi hand!

[Heaf]

Wow that's a bad call

[ebop]

Lol, great TMOing

[tigertattie]

Oh dear. The SANZAR conspiracy theory will go into over drive now

[Collapse2005]

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

[Taylorman]

Not being favoured in these close calls.

Excuse me? They knocked it on. What’s favouritism got to do with it, geez.
