No4 black is allowed to hold people in headlocks?

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:29 am

England eventually get a call, nothing wrong with that

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:29 am

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

by Heaf Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:29 am

Can we sub the TMO ...

by mikey_dragon Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:29 am

Pinched. That will give NZ oomph for sure.

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:29 am

Bad mistake

Now it gets interesting

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.

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:30 am

TMO, oops

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:30 am

What are you playing at?!

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:30 am

Aaawww and there it is

by Dirtydave Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:30 am

Was itojes hand played in the air there?

by Engine#4 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:30 am

Interference by Retallick?

*edit No, fair.

by **RiscaGame** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:30 am

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

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:31 am

Why isn’t the TMO reviewing that NZ try?

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:31 am

Yes! Come on boys

by **LondonTiger** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:31 am

Awful mistake Sad

by **owen10ozzy** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:31 am

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

by Dirtydave Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:31 am

Itoje played retallik!!!! Wtf?!

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:31 am

Regroup boys....

Nah, ball already passed Itoje

by Duty281 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:32 am

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

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:32 am

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

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

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:32 am

Underhill!

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:33 am

Underhill. Boom

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:33 am

Jonker has his buzzer ready

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:33 am

Aaahh underhill

by stub Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:34 am

Great response from England

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:34 am

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

by Collapse2005 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:34 am

NZ need to be given some yellows

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:35 am

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

by **RiscaGame** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:35 am

Great response.

by Heaf Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:35 am

How many pens now in the red zone?

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:35 am

Two scores clear again, 18 mins to play

by Duty281 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

Terrible decision to offload under pressure.

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

by **RiscaGame** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

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

by Dirtydave Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:37 am

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

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

by No 7&1/2 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:37 am

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

by Collapse2005 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:37 am

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

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:38 am

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

by kingelderfield Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:38 am

Tide is turning our way

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

You mean Youngs try? True.

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:38 am

Savea done knee, not good

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:40 am

Come on ABs, get these turkeys. Very Happy

by stub Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:40 am

Another one forwards?

by stub Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:40 am

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:40 am

Where’s jonker???

Surely he needs to be stopping the game?

by Engine#4 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:40 am

Forward again. This is getting ridiculous

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Hand on the floor from England there
