Yarde is at Harlequins next season, it's encouraging to see his development thus far.

We seem to be able to survive this brutal assault by NZ at present.

What a game this is so far - England on the edge of chaos taking NZ on toe-to-toe with a running game. Superb to watch!

It's a shame that fell to Tuilagi and not Brown.

England have been fantastic so far a a bit more clinical and better decision making and we could push on and win this.

Great game to watch

Fantastic game, but I feared we'd see a better NZ team second half. Shame, first half hour was excellent and then we became very loose.

As I watch, looks like NZ have pulled the pin.

New Zealand are unreal right now, they really turned up the wick here.

We may need to make some changes now. I agree with the commentators. I would bring Courtney Laws on.

Yellow card & penalty 13-21... New Zealand really turned it up but England have gone off the boil massively.

I know **** all about rugby but that first half was brilliant entertainment. How these fellas don't seriously injure one another I'll never know.

The most important thing is to get as close to them as possible. A ten point defeat in New Zealand is almost like a win elsewhere. Whatever happens here, I'm very pleased about the progress of our team.

Think NZ took their foot of the gas towards the end.

Most other test playing nations would have capitulated under that pressure, especially a man down. I always felt that, even if we lose 3-0 in this series, by staying close to them we can show further progress. We've done it again today.
