Maar Barrett sal seker nou-nou opkom….blitsige klong daai.
This is actually a kak game.
Stop…start. Way too many infringements.
All Blacks penalty, opportunity to draw level.
England 9 / 9 All Blacks
So far the match has been characterised by plenty of unforced errors, missed tackles and kicks directly into touch. England at times make the AB’s look ordinary.
@ Pietman:
Daai laaitie I blitsig. Sekerlik die vinnigste losskakel wat tans speel. Vinniger as Naas in sy dae. 😉
is blitsig
England hard on attack, inside the Blacks 22

Drop attempt… missed

@ IAAS:
Hopefully the 2nd half will be better.
Wat drink ons?
Daai Yarde #14 met die hare is n gevaarlike kalant, sterk en vinnig.
Hom al gesien in die klubkampioenskappe wanneer hy alles voor hom plat hardloop.
I hope people who were very critical of meyer not selecting more “attacking” players that its not so easy to just glue a merry bunch together and expect tons of tries.

Very good effort by England in that half. AB’s can be lucky to be going down the hatch, honours even. Wow, I never believed that England would be so strong. Lancaster is a wily old fellow, he certainly knows how to put a team together and get the best out of them.
I take back what I said about Eng and SA playing similar games. Don’t think SA will play like this with a midfield of Pienaar, Steyn & Steyn, but I hope I am wrong.
@ Nama:
I reckon too. The AB’s should get more momentum and finish the game stronger. And ja, I agree with you on Barrett – he’s an exciting one to watch who creates things out of nothing and also breaks the line comfortably at times.
Good old Fresh Orange Juice for me here….
The Poms’ rookie FH makes a good impression
He doesn’t hesitate to go with a long, diagonal kicks to the corners, something that limited FHvs such as Morne Styen seldom do
I reckon the coaches will win this game in the change room during half time. We’ll see which team comes out more motivated in the 2nd half.
the all blacks grubbers are also not working well so far, cute down on about 70% of their tries scoring opportunities.
2nd Half ON!
the fourth time the all blacks take out the wrong player argh
Poor decision making by England. Just used their ‘get out of jail free’ card. Very lucky
Relieving England penalty, on their own 5m line
At fukking last a referee sees how an All Black player takes out an opposition player who isn’t even close to the ball.
Eish, these AB’s have wonderful hands
Nonu has become very slow!
McCaw having an annonimous game
