    No try but it's promising that we even put that move together given we've looked so uninspired running with the ball at times.

    Really lively start though we're getting properly pushed by these endless offloads.

    That was a classic try. One of the best.

    NZ lines have been surprisingly easy to break at times, but their skills are so far superior down the other end that they'll still piss it.

    Great start to the half and we should have had a try on that first drive.

    Need to make way less mistakes when we're inside their 22 though because we're not getting the penalties here to kick our way clear.

    I'm surprised that Farrell is in the team. He always struck me as solid and unspectacular - won't cost you games, but won't win them either.

    It went as predicted - tight enough for the first half and a bit, then NZ cut through given the clear difference in class.

    Plenty of positives to take, but a 3-0 series loss is always going to be par down there. We always have a shout against Australia and the South Africans.

    Where do we see changes for next week? I think Kruis is the only one who you'd 'definitely' drop given his performance in the loose, but then he does bring something to the line-outs. Williams I remain unsure - it was a great break for the try, but then he contrived to fuck up the high ball (again) for their third try.

    I think Williams started well and was great for the try but the numbers they were flashing up (carries, yards, etc.) surely flattered him a bit because of the positions he was often getting the ball in?

    I'd be getting Halfpenny back in and finding room for Itoje for a kick-off.

    I guess a positive to take from the Australian Rugby's rancid form and fitness levels is that we are running a completey PEDs free program.

    I think Gatcunt should have picked more forwards with farm strength in his squad as we look a touch weak. I prefer my props ponderous, my hooker heavy, locks lumbering and my back row big as boulders.

    When he first came through that wouldn't have been that mental a comparison, but his development stalled being coached by plebs and now it is. At the moment he is nowhere near the England side, but if somebody could get him back on track with a massive kick up the arse (six months at the Redcliffe Dolphins) he could be.

    I take it the way the rules are now the ref basically had no choice but to send him off? I just assumed he'd get away with a yellow at most.

    At least for the ABs we're currently doing absolutely nothing with the advantage.

    I've just seen it, no attempt to use arms in the tackle and a direct shot to the head. I bet the ref will be called 'brave' for sending off an All Black (lol) but that's a red no matter the colour of your shirt.

    Indeed. Commentators giving it "We're in New Zealand so now it's really just 50/50."

    No.

    You could've had another set of posts on the far end there and that still would've been wide.

    At least we've fucking done something, though. Now watch the All Blacks get a try before the end of the sin bin.

    It would be nice if we actually saw a replay of some of these offsides. The game stops for about 1-2 minutes for each penalty and we see fuck all during that time.

    We're 12-0 up now, right? Because you can't win with just penalties?

    Ian you know full well none of your points count unless you've scored a try, so we're 21-0 up.

    I really hope that if we see this out it doesn't get played up as some massive, heroic effort and conveniently ignore the fact that they were a man down for however long.

    I was readying an inb4 heroic comeback narrative post when in reality we should have been 10 or 15 points clear. 2-1 is better than a whitewash I suppose.

    Why is the Lions tour such a big thing? If a not full strength Scotland team can beat Australia for example, what's the fun of getting the best players from four nations and facing them?

    New Zealand is basically the Borg (Star Trek not Bjorn) of Rugby so any win is a great achievement.
