| Has Hargreaves made any tackles below the neck in the whole series ?

| Kicking horrendous from England today. It’s been passable but Myler has dragged that aspect into the gutter lol. I hope England pull it together and win though.

| England back to their dumb selves. Surely mo ed away from the game plan? Going ride too early rather than sticking with the forward play that won them two games.

| Staring sets in our own 10 and getting backs to play us out has got us no field position in the last 15. Also don't know if anyone else noticed, Graham was always looking to pass then take it up, don't know if he's not fully fit or what put it was a bit strange.
NZ have got away with murder at the PTB, he's penalized 3 times in a row but they didn't change what they were doing even after that, so why not more penalties.

| England have had so many opportunities and come up short, whereas the Kiwis have been excellent at taking them.

No, but still gets away with it.
Also thought the Makinson try was good, Proctor was looking for the penalty, which I don't think it was anyway because they'd been caught short on that side imo.
Apart from that though we've had enough chances in their 20 to score a few times but just haven't been clinical enough.

I agree, there was loads of depth. Proctor would have got nowhere near Bateman (was it?) Regardless.

| Teams evenly matched but NZ have learned and slowed down the PTB, not played up middle in the forwards. England have gone away from what won them the first two - although with the loss of George Burgess they were never going to have the same forward dominance.

| Agree with lack of using the big men but that probably because we have a lighter bench with only one recognised prop in there. The three of Graham, Hill, and Tom Burgess are going to have to share longer minutes because of George’s absence?

| I thought they were always going to find this match more difficult with the personnel they lost from last game, not counting the ones that were already injured.

| If these Test series were decided by aggregate score over the three matches it would make them more interesting.
