Nz v Eng

[double hoops]

Kapow and poo started on the bench.

First half.

Kapow dominated when last 10 minutes of first half and got NZ back in the game.

Poo didn't take the field.

TBH its been a crap game to watch. England have no idea how to attack and their best chance was killed by a garden variety double movement by James "The Brains of the outfit" Graham.

Seriously, the best 5 years of Graham's life were those spent in Year 2 at school.....

And Johnson just ran 75 metres to score off an intercept thrown by Widdop who is about as useful as tits on a bull other than goal kicking.

Nowhere near impressed by either team.

Poo enters the game 46mins. Immediately gives away a penalty leading to Eng first try.

If this is the best England or NZ can come up with in this tournament then the Kangaroos should romp it in......

Interesting fact:

Of the 68 players used this weekend over the 4 teams, 46 are currently with NRL clubs, 20 with SL clubs and 2 are from the Qld Cup.

People may not like it but it shows the quality of Foran how woeful NZ is now that he's not playing.

Have to admit I thought exactly the same thing.

They should have had it closer to the field really...

Tapau is a bulldozer with turbo engines

 

[HoldenV8]

Did anyone else hear Iestyn Harris and Jonathan Davies say that Widdop had a good game last night?

Seriously, if that is what they consider a good game from a #6 then its no wonder the Poms haven't won anything in 40 years with the bar set that low.

New coach too, which isn't helping. No combinations.

Taupau was huge off the bench last night, turned the game I thought along with several others. Looking forward to seeing that form in 2017.

Look at the minutes played, Taumalolo....77mins Kapow.....31.
Don't just look at the metre eaters check the game time.

over 100m behind the best

Played less then half his minutes..

 

[Fluffy]

imagine if he had the fitness to play 77 minutes
