This is real danger time now, but in fairness this is with the exception of Carter New Zealand's first choice team and we are massively depleted.

5th and 6th choice locks once Lawes went off.

Their try came from Farrell not finding touch with the penalty, we got the ball back but in the wrong part of the pitch to play so when they turned it over there were gaps in our half.

Definite yellow for Coles for me, we really need to get some points whilst we have the man advantage.

Poor discipline by the NZ hooker but it was Hartley who instigated that

Box kicks - do they ever achieve anything?

[PaulWinch again]

Our tactical kicking is not good enough at the moment. I'd get Ford on.

[PaulWinch again]

Poor since the sin bin.

Box kicks - do they ever achieve anything?

When Care and youngs do them?  No.  When a 9 with the ability to get them right does them they're very effective.

[PaulWinch again]

Get Ford on. We're going to lose this.

Farrell is the main issue, he's been really poor this half after being just poor in the first half.

fuck off lancaster, takes off the only creative player we've had so he can keep Farrell in case we get a kickable penalty, fucking painfully negative.

[Proposition Joe]

Hmm, this game's done I think.

[UK Redsox]

Poor since the sin bin.

NZ won the sin bin 3-0

Box kicks - do they ever achieve anything?

In modern rugby, probably not.

However, in the 1980s, box kicks took the Mighty Lyd to the third or fourth round of the John Player Cup most seasons.

And that just about wraps it up for NZ

[PaulWinch again]

Piss poor in the second half, we've offered nothing at all. What does Farrell have to do to be substituted? Yes we're battered by injuries, but the second half hasn't been good enough.
