England defence absolutely bamboozled there. Relatively straightforward switch play

All Blacks far from perfect but effective in midfield.

Been on the cards, All Blacks have been one pass awsy from carving us open on a number of occasions.

30 minutes into it and England look knackered.

As soon as England's defence gets out of shape that NZ midfielder can exploit..worrying

NZ usual precision not there today, which is lucky for England because they would be getting really pumped at the moment if it was.

England rush defence seems very poorly thought out. You don’t just run as fast as you can and hope for the best which is what they seem to be doing.

As with all rush defences when it works it works well but looks like a bad decision when it doesn't.

I can see NZ running away with this in the 2nd half, then it’s full on gloating from Scarface.😡

Only english player that looks like he can beat a player is Feyi-Waboso and he does look good. So naturally England will try to keep the ball away from him.

Lmao this drop goal tactic is fucking rubbish, please stop

England's defence has been their big winner and biggest loser. NZ far from their best but the better side in general. Good contest. Our rusty players look very rusty, Spencer is also having a bit of a mare, and we've not been great in the air. A few nice moments off Smith in attack but largely we're focusing on getting the ball in the air and whacking people. Slightly undermined by not getting anywhere near the ball on the floor too.

Yes you have.

The trouble is the ball was still live when England were busy celebrating...

England midfield looks totally confused, they are giving Smith nothing to work with, Slade is fucking clueless.

Teams whose primary tactic is defensive pressure and big hits do this sort of thing in modern rugby I'm afraid.

Said before, Slade is a great club player. An international centre, no.

Standard tackle around the ankles between two locks... with the ball lost forward in contact.
