All Blacks v Poms, Test 1 Auckland

[qwerty51]

I consider Robshaw a journeyman notter, but he is certainly standing out for the Poms.

Dare I say Robshaw > McCaw atm?

I think most 7s in world rugby are better than McCaw atm

If Robshaw had a 6 on his back he'd be lauded but he suits the England style of play anyway

Jay-sus these effin commentators make Marto and co look objective. Nothing the kippers do is wrong ffs.
I reiterate my call for neutral commentators.

Jeff Wilson said 'we' during the commentary. Didn't even try and be objective

 

[Bairdy]

Try saving chance blown by England. Not clinical enough.

 

[FrankLind]

Geez. This could either way.

 

[ChargerWA]

English defence very quick off the line and strangling the AB's.

I expect the AB's to get away in the last 20 when tiredness sets in and the defence drops off.

England would have to favs for the next world cup.

Still better than the pom ones.

No surprises here. All Blacks rusty as hell, although that shouldn't explain the awful individual unforced errors. Need to either keep the ball in hand, number 1 option, or at least kick much more effectively.

GOAT has looked sloppy as hell. Kaino, still as strong as ever.

 

[Dan54]

Still better than the pom ones.

gwerty didn't realise you listening to Pom commentators bad!

 

[boyo]

Robshaw's been the best player for the Poms

 

[Dismal Pillock]

NZ losing all the "battles of inches" that the poms love

Luckily for NZ there's no steroid for catching the ball.

Losing too many collisions. Incohesive on attack. No complacency my arse. Some rockets up the ring needed. They could hope the beefy boys run out of puff in the last 20. Or they could just get fuckin angry and kcik some arse for fucks sake

Love rugby but best part of the test was halftime.#borefeast

Have to say the Pom commentators are shocking, the arrogance is normally pretty astounding, I think the kiwi commentators, especially Marshall try too hard to be impartial, like when he was fawning over AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

What is the difference between being impartial and trying too hard? I would say AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) deserves some praise.

Marto should be a little better tonight as Quade isn't playing.

Probably a bad example to use, could just be me but sometimes I get the feeling marshall is looking to praise the opposition all the time so he doesn't look biased and often what he comes up with is pretty forced

 

[ChargerWA]

Is it just me or is anyone else hoping Joe Marler get's tackled so hard his hair falls out.

Sounds like there must be a fairly large contingent of England supporters in the grandstands, judging by the crowd noise when the Soap Dodgers have the pill.
