England can hold their heads high. They made the AB’s look pretty ordinary at times.
@ MacroBok:
Team going forward gets the ball. Usually the team on attack.
The All Blacks will not be happy with their 2014 start!
@ mikeybrass:
IRB conspiracy to keep the Bokke down at 2
AB’s far from convincing, but 1st game of the season, should not read to much into this.
Poms provably going to think they are now God’s gift to rugby and get beaten convincingly next week
A forward pass from Smith to Smith did it for the ABs,,,
dammmm lucky win for the rain dance kings
in the end it took a bullshit yellow card to give them the game
Well done All Blacks.
I think they’ll put up a much better performance next week.
Was a close game… but I also think the All Blacks can only improve
@ NZINCHINA:
More like too chicken scared to penalise. Crap like this makes me want to support the Poms for round 2 *shudder*
221 @ mikeybrass:
Hello mikeybrass balls!
@ smallies: Damn right. ABs got off lightly, again.
Well done to the AB’s.
As Gary player once said when accused of being lucky: ” The more I practice the luckier I become”.

Hi JFK yes Lancaster has been doing a really good job (on the whole) with England and is maybe showing by the RFU went with him instead of Nick Mallett.
225 @ Bullscot:
should be …showing WHY the RFU went with him… 😳
So. it’s Southern Hemisphere 2 / ZIP, with Fiji also beating Italy
@ mikeybrass:
so boring,same old line out of the republic
@ Just For Kicks:
Jip, even more impressive by Lancaster is the way he changed how England play the game. They are playing a much more expansive game under him.
@ NZINCHINA: Take the blinkers off, mate.
228 @ NZINCHINA:
Argh fark, lighten up, there is no conspiricy.
Fark, you are so predictable… it’s sooooo lame!

@ mikeybrass:
same old line refs this refs that, fark do you guys ever stop moaning when we win, that’s 31 wins at home on the trot and one loss in 25 or so tests and all you can say is the ref very boring mate
The Sharkie at 10 for France. Surely they should win this one. 😆
35 tests
The refs need to get a grip. The crap the ABs were allowed to get away with, not to mention the yellow card, show that they are continuing to fawn over the ABs. All everyone else wants is an even-handed ref.
Another year, another load.
Discussion here on OSN Sports, Guscott reckons there were two game changers that should have been yellow cards, Josh Kromfeld and Scott Gibbs agree.
Poms were robbed.
Very lacklustre and rusty start by the All Blacks, against a spirited under-strengh England side!
@ grootblousmile:
what were you expecting a 50 point drubbing, in case you hadn’t noticed the Poms have improved significantly and are now a real force again
@ mikeybrass:
yep the mighty all craps raindance queens was suposed to play at least 10 min with 14 men in the second half
