Ignoring results there are so many positives to take from this tour so far and really good progress being made by this side

Great 2nd half by New Zealand and they deserved to win by more than one point but great credit to England for digging in and withstanding such an onslaught. Is it just me or do international refs give the NZ the benefit of the doubt on too many occasions? Forward passes ignored, 'fringeing' at the breakdown, obstructing the tacklers and an obligatory yellow card for England....( has Richie McCaw only ever received ONE yellow card in his 100+ tests) makes you wonder.....

I think this is very good, steady progress towards the World Cup where we should have the advantage being at home.

Richard Hugh has had just one yellow in his international career. Great at getting away with cheating.

This has been excellent so far from England. No one in the world can live with New Zealand when they were like those 20 minutes in the second half, if we'd been more clinical in the first half we might have won.

Not in my view, our replacements helped, but the key to us being more dangerous in the last 10-15 mins was that Tuilagi moved back to a more central role, getting involved as he was last week,..... Twelvetrees and Burrell were very poor, what Eastman did to be dropped from the matchday squad was beyond me.... he was my backs MOM last week.
