Apparently still loads of people outside the stadium trying to get tickets?!

Very average performance so far. Kiwis bossing it. Kicking game is very poor.

pretty dire game in all honesty

The ref has ruined this game so far.
2 tired teams so far.

The camera work by the bbc is awful. Just glad I'm not watching the game after a few pints!

I hope the NZ v England game is coming across better on TV, because in the flesh it's slow, boring and lacking in nearly all attacking flair.

Both teams have been poor, like they are afraid to lose.

I remain clueless as to what McNamara thinks Widdop brings to this team ahead of Gale. At least Gale has energy. Our attack is terrible. Defence is solid enough. Saving grace us that the Kiwis aren't using their superior talent in the backs.

nope.That is a fair summary

Watkins and Burgess touched the ball about twice each in that first half.Criminal under use of the three quarters

It is shiite. not a good advert for the game,


I saw a lot of better games in the RUWC.

Widdop is crap and we have no one who can kick.

Gale in next week win or lose.

It is like both sides are playing without half backs. Can only get better imo

Gareth Widdop is ridiculously average,

The milking of penalties at the PTB is IMHO bringing the game into disrepute.

Needs to be stamped down on.

We need to learn how to attack. Not sure McBanana is the coach to do that.

And people complained about Sinfield being picked at HB.

Where is George Williams today..... haven't seen him.

Can George Williams not count to 6, he's kicking on the 4th nearly every time in a game where we are being starved of posession

Both Williams and Widdop have been awful.

So has Roby for that matter!

do England have half backs?

awful performance by England and awful game!

McNamara copying Noble's 5 drives and a kick tactics.

Whiteheads been a liability in defence and a wasted a couple of good attacking positions

game over when he kicks this.

The worst England performance for a number of years and the most forgettable Test match I can ever remember

Reprieved by a poor kick

If England don't go up a gear after being let off twice in the last 5 minutes

Williams nowhere near ready for international football on this performance. Where is Gale?
