Too painful to watch! We played really well in the first two tests but seem to have gone back 2 years in a week.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Anyone watching the All Blacks tearing us apart?

The All Blacks are amazing - England seem to have just cracked under the pressure

No. Rugby obsessed NZ were always going to win this series against injury ravaged (and disrupted by end of season games for Sarecens and Northampton) England, especially at home. So I don't bother. There was always going to be at least one hiding.
But Lancaster and his players will learn alot, just as Woodward did in a record loss to Australia in c. 1999 away from home in a team with many youngsters that later became Rugby greats and WC winners.

Damn spoke too soon. Once again the All Blacks takes us apart from a start point in their own half. We are looking to score and then another try conceded. We missed far too many tackles. Still, more to come from this squad and we will have home advantage next year.

Finally sorted out the defence in the second half, with honours even. My fear for this present tour was not a 3-0 defeat, but the level of defeat in the various aspects of our game that needed improving. As it turns out, England are still moving forward. But the narrow defending in the first half was very worrying, and I'm sure Andy Farrell, after having given away the kittens he must have had in the first twenty minutes, will be studying a few videos on the flight home.
Good news for the future though.
