    Excellent intercept try. Brilliant from Smith.

    Beauden should be called ashore shortly.

    I agree that England's rush hasn't been perfect, but a lot of the time New Zealand's ball handling hasn't held up to that initial pressure. Too many knock ons and poor passes just before contact.

    That defence can be exploited and NZ have done it through kicking. But when taking contact they've struggled.

    NZ's execution has been woeful. Terrible decision making, and it's nothing to do with English pressure.

    England’s press is working because NZ aren’t very good. Absolutely lethal off broken play because of individual skills but otherwise they’re very ordinary. Razor simply hasn’t developed a style or a selection to bring them on. Poor discipline is their biggest characteristic currently. Ireland really should eat them alive.

    This is one of the frustrating things about rugby. Ref called it as just a knock on, TMO didn't say otherwise as the game was going on…..and then when a try is scored, they go to have a look.

    Great refereeing to let it run and then review

    The ref mic booming out across the stadium is brilliant

    TMO can't overrule the ref in that situation, can only bring it to his attention.

    There is no point bringing it to his attention during play. The ref called it a knock on only. He has to wait for a break in play so the ref can review it.

    Yellow card one of these English players. Absolutely cynical play repeatedly when under pressure.

    Well taken try.

    England's attack has been crap all game. They didn't have a clue what to do when that ball came out of the scrum.

    England snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. One intercept try v three from NZ.

    Cue more memes of England forwards celebrating knock ons.

    George Ford 😬

    Poor defending for the NZ try in the last 10 minutes.

    Hits the post with a penalty in the last few minutes.

    Misses the drop goal in the last play of the game.

    He’s usually very good at drop goals. Poor pass back to him. Think they should have took it earlier when they were left of the sticks. Would have been another play, either a 22 receipt or kick off if it went over.

    Is this the Ireland who lost to both England and NZ when they last played them both?

    NZ aren't improved at all under Razor. Have often said that he could disappoint NZ fans at test level. Dominating Super Rugby with a well settled team was never a guarantee that he'd be able to do the same for the national side.

    I don't think this is a vintage NZ side, but their execution and discipline is poor...result will paper over the cracks a bit, but really do think following a full RC, NZ fans should be expecting more impact from Razor at this stage.

    I'm not sure they should, really.

    Its a long way back from a long way down, no matter who you are. Judge them in Autumn 2026.
