[Other Sport] Egg chasing - England vs New Zealand

[Icy Gull]

Shambles, dinosaur Jones OUT!

Embarrassing and totally clueless England….so far

French ref helping the All Blacks out though

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Tarquin and Jemima will be a tad miffed

It’s about 1 minute of play in every 5 minutes. Most of the game spent standing around resetting the scrum. The few rare bits of exciting play definitely from NZ, but it’s pretty tedious ‘over-reffed’ stuff in the main.

I just watched the Rugby League final.
Wow. So fast and physical.

What are all the penalties we are giving away for. I don’t understand the finer rules of rugby!

Kiwi defence is immense. England can't get through the wall.

 

[Icy Gull]

No flair at all, just pick the ball up and run into NZ or kick the ball back to them

With this clown in charge we have less chance of winning the Rugby WC than England have in the football one.

So fecking frustrating to watch

The first rule of Rugby is that England players don't understand the rules or just ignore them.

f*** me I thought the TMO was going to be as shit as VAR for a minute there

Marcus Smith, Sussex boy, Albion fan.

Can we snatch a draw or win from the jaws of defeat?

 

[dazzer6666]

Wow.

Well, fun last 10 minutes, but then why not at least have a go at winning?

I was going to give you a sarcastic whistle. My thunder is stolen.

Excellent second half from England. Kept going despite an incredible Kiwi defence.

Lost too much ground after the taking possession at the re-start. Opinions will differ, but if Smith had driven forward and there had been an error the comeback would have been undone. I'd have sued for the draw.

Agreed, to have been so dominated and come back to get a draw is way beyond expectations imo. No risk strategy once we go there was spot on

See, it's a long term plan and we took the positives from the first 70 minutes

Agree about the ref

only if we can play against 14 for the last ten minutes in every game from now on.

Very poor decision making and too slow to the breakdown. Way too many lost turnovers and penalties.
