Think he got away with that one, but he did, so it's good.

Yep. Perhaps he should concentrate on the basics before trying to be a star.

Comedy of errors all round, NZ midfield defence is suffocating and England don't have the midfield creativity to change it.

‘No - don’t fucking kick it!’
‘Yes! What a great kick!’

Don't mind cross field with advantage, hate drop goals with advantage.

That's fantastic execution.
Also likely the only way we're going to score. Getting very little change out of the AB midfield and then there's no space on subsequent phases.

Still just a point between these sides after three halves of rugby.
Our lineout's getting utterly Itoji'd.

Test rugby isn't Soup Oom Enz. All Blacks will get space in 2nd half. England need a decent bom squad.

They have clearly identified a weakness there, what it might do is force NZ to defend more out wide which might make more space in the midfield for Slade to fuck it up

Leaving aside this particular example, where Smith had clearly seen something that the man of the sofa 10,000 miles away had not, too many teams go for the jackpot straight away with advantage rather than using it to play a set move, run some phases then hit a more risky option

England's centres are not covering themselves in glory in attack.
