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?

It's been a far better game than the second test even with the weather. Think McNamara has picked the right team to win this. Don't want to jump on the band wagon but Watkins does need to play better in the second half. Come on England!!

why would you play tomkins at centre?

if hardaker is playing well enough to keep the fb shirt then tomkins shouldn't play!

The camera zooms in too close too often...I want a wider shot!

The half backs just get rid of the ball too easily, we just shift along the line and don't isolate defenders often enough. We're quite easy to defend.

Watkins error again! I am a great believer in taking people off when they are having a bad day.

Watkins fits into the English philosophy perfectly when it comes to sport. Good for club, not so for country.

Lacking aggression again!

And then look at their aggression!

YEESSS!

Well done Whitehead!!!

Where are the 'good few thousand' empty seats???

Blimey, but Watkins is having a stinker!

Watkins is having a right stinker.
