England having more of the ball but looking less dangerous than the Kiwis, then a combination of tiredness and our best players going off at the end of the half meaning we were lucky to be still in with a chance.

We need to be more clinical and improve our kicking game in the second half and cut out those mistakes. Perhaps then a chance of bucking the trend of not being able to play a full half at the highest intensity.

Effectively we need to score 3 tries without reply in the second half..can't see that happening can anyone?

Unlucky Hall. Would've been a good try that.

Meanwhile how did Bentham think that was a try?

Have you got a link for that mate? I find it hard to believe if i'm being honest

So you saw that he'd dropped that on first showing?

I doubt it. Just another wise man when given the replay.

Bentham would've been about 10 yards away, adjacent to it in the in-goal area.

Hopefully this see's the end of McBannana

Game over

NZ are gonna give us a right pasting...easy yards and off loads killing us and Johnson running the game

No one on the commentary team mention Hall knocking on on first showing. IMO the speed he was going in makes it practically impossible to know whether it's grounded or not. The slow motion replay proved it completely, but criticising the ref for not seeing that first time is utterly ridiculous.

England all over that... Great play followed by an awful individual error - I'd guess at a couple of penalties followed by a try to NZ now...

Smith is sodding useless....what a crap pack

We should have had a pen there for one of the numerous tackles NZ did on players who didn't have the ball.

Without a video referee, that try would've been given which is inexcusable IMO.

NZ scrambling defence probably winning them this game.

We have no killer instinct whatsoever.

We should be winning this game.

Your stupidity is inexcusable.

You didn't see the knock-on on the first showing but you expect the ref to see what you missed.

Get in Hall.

Cracking pass by Widdop

Stop trying to hit the posts mofo!

Hopefully (although I can't see it) NZ having to make the early interchanges will make a difference.

This! Should have been a penalty. Crap ref.

Needed that try. Play out the next set and try to build some momentum now. We've already made double the amount of tackles they have in this half so we need to start keeping hold of the ball.

I honestly can't be bothered with you. If you think the referee should have assistance in noticing an obvious drop when he was 10 metres away then you're crazy. The fact that you couldn't see the knock-on from the camera angle is irrelevant.

We just force a error with a bomb then Smith passes his nxt kick to the FB.....clueless

Need to score off this set or next or we're out.

And a really awful kick. Sigh.
