i am completely bewildered by the changes that have been made today, and that sums up my feeling about the current coaching setup.
swapping a wing that didnt do anything wrong, and replacing a half with someone who had their worst season for quite a while.
Matty Smith will give you 100%, and will always reach a certain standard, BUT he's been well off his best this year.
Happy to be proven wrong, but neither of these to me will solve the problem of lack of creativity.

Come on WallOfWhite nevertheless !

The bloke is a totally clueless,he picks a scrum half who wasn't even the best this year.....hoping the kiwis win tbh.Watching it on the red button ATM and Noble is cringeworthy

Well, tbf, McGillvary deserved a chance, but agree with your other points.

jerry showing why he should have been picked long before today!

good start from England, we look to involve the threequarters for a change.

Widdop still showing how bad he is at 6.

smith an mcgillvary best 2 players so far....credit to the coach?

Great tackle from Hardaker. Looked a certain try.

Great finish. NZ look more penetrative than England. Watkins is having a stinker in attack and defence so far.

Sell-out?

Watkins needs to learn to pass.

Watkins is the weak link at the moment, let's hope his decision making doesn't cost us.

just what i thought, was hoping to go but didn't bother as it had "sold out", it appears there are a good few thousand empty seats, maybe those seats were sold but the people couldn't brave a bit of rain?

We still need more from the back row, they're offering nothing again. Good start from McGilvery so far. His positioning has been poor in defence at times, but it's to be expected with a new combination, and of course having Matty Smith, and Whitehead defending inside you doesn't help.

NZ are making breaks because they're drawing men into the centre by making offloads before spreading it wide. England aren't making breaks because they're just moving the ball predictably. Need more than just barge up the middle from our forwards if we're going to win this.

I know the early 2 points could prove decisive but I think just as last week it passed the intitiative over to NZ. Smith doing well. Widdop for me isn't an international half back but I suppose we ain't got any other option. When Sam Tomkins is fit what will his role be? Not in the same class at FB as Hardaker. Maybe centre?
