I think the only thing which might keep the NZ scoreline down is the new halfback pairing. I imagine they'll be using this game to try a few things out and might be a bit rusty as a result.
Put Foran and Johnson into that side and it's easy to see why they are #1 in the world.

No coverage of the game in oz sadly. Is it being shown online later anywhere?

Surely it's on Sky Sports NZ?

Great game so far. Leeds should probably be ahead. Silverwood doing his best to become the centre of attention.

The same kind of reffing we always see when a British team plays one from down under.

Cracking match, and the Leeds youngsters have been a credit to the English game.

Only one half-back on the pitch, and that's Danny McGuire (and I've never been his biggest fan).

England will certainly have to work on their defense around the ruck, NZ have been terrific there.

Haven't they! Also, the extra ground they make after contact.

If New Zealand were a racehorse they would go down as a non trier.

Anyone else sick of hearing Harris blowing smoke up the new Zealanders backsides?! They've been pushed all the way by a leeds team missing 12 players!

Yeah. He just can't bring himself to credit Leeds for keeping the ball alive and playing free flowing, exciting rugby. He's certainly inherited Wigan's possession based, emphasis on defensive ruck control, boring philosophy. Phil Clark, as much as he's got a permanent erection where Wigan are concerned, at least praises us for this.

Oh, and Tomkins must be selected at FB due to his world class attacking ability. Despite this ability never being evident against NZ or Australia before. If World Class is now playing well against the likes of Wakefield; he's your man!

I can't wait until next week. NZ have some great individuals, both their hookers are superb, and significantly better than ours, but for the first time in years we may have 2 halves with a better kicking game than the opposition. They'll always give you chances, and make mistakes. If England can wrap the ball, and slow down the ruck we have every chance. However, they also have the players to blow England away.

What is the score?

Finished 36-16. NZ

jet lagg will have played its part i wouldn't get carried away
