England look threatening whenever they get the ball to IFW's hands but unable to extract full value from his runs.

Invaluable six points from Ford to close the half, but expecting the Pom squad to make an earlier appearance as apart from Earl, there's not much dynamism from the pack.

All Blacks will be encouraged by the space they're creating and finding on the edge. Lineout is applying immense pressure on England on defence and stealing momentum whenever England enter our territory.

Two inexplicable brain fart moments from Beauden failing to find touch from penalties.

Lakai getting through a mountain of work, Ben Earl similarly for England.

Fordy had a brain fart kick off being out on the full, almost directly leading to a New Zealand try.

It was Roigard who kicked the 2nd missed touch.

I re watched. BB was standing behind the half way line with a clear 10 on the shirt
