I don't think Hansen can be blamed here. AB's having a lot of knock ons, and England are just incredibly physical. AB's lineout and scrum is working fluently and they have set moves. Coach has ticked all the boxes, a lot of this is silly errors and the fact that this English team is going somewhere, Lancaster has made IMO this English team perhaps the best defensive team in the world and one of the most efficient teams in the game. And thats creating a lot of the errors were seeing in the AB game

Hard to post during this game something is happening every bloody milli second.
Dagg with find it hard to start at 15 if Ben Smith keeps going like this. Hard to tackle & what a defensive effort on Tuilangi, the pilfer was the icing on the top. Well deserved that he goes over for the first AB try.
Is England using what it is called "the umbrella defence"? The English outside centre & wing were coming up further than the rest of their defensive line in the first half. I noticed it caused Nonu to step in & go it alone rather than pass it on & risk the intercept. If the trend continues do you think we'll see more chip kicks put in behind the English line? When its a well weighted kick it seems to work well on Tuilangi.

If Eng are within 7 by the 65 minute mark and bring on their super subs in the pack then just playing for territory and getting a few scrums is sure to gain them some points. Their starting subs last week in the front row are their 16,17 and 18 on the bench I believe.
