4N - ROUND ONE- ENG v NZ // Sun 30 Sep 12:30AM (AEDT) // 2:30 AM (NZDT) // Sat 2:30PM (BST)

[Burns]

A scrum penalty! Hahaha

 

[Burns]

Watkins drops it! Would have been a great try. Gee, taking the two again? Englanders will be thinking they are watching the Union

 

[Burns]

What did SKD just do on the last tackle? Just awful

 

[axe&smash&crush]

Don't rate watkins

 

[axe&smash&crush]

Or the commentary, ha

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Same old shit from NZ. Clueless in attack and woeful on the last.

 

[Burns]

England looking sharp, but just can't execute that last pass so far. NZ just a bit eh

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Double movement

 

[Burns]

Game feels like last year's London match. Someone needs to break the game open and liven it up a bit.

 

[axe&smash&crush]

England seem safe and a quality hooker is doing wonders, Just gotta score some points

Hodgson and S Burgess are incredible for them.

Weird half. England dominated, kicked 2 penalty goals. Then possession swung, England made some mistakes and NZ get back in it, find the lead. Game feels like it's missing a bit of spark.

 

[axe&smash&crush]

Yeah it's missing spark. Maybe Hodgson will open em up

 

[Burns]

Wow, that'll cause nightmares for England. SJ intercept try.

Going to be very hard for England now.

 

[flamin]

The English commentators really don't like Johnson hey?
"You love to hate him."

 

[flamin]

England score. Good try.
Widdop converts. 10-12

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Even if he'd shoulder charged him it shouldn't be a penalty.

 

[Burns]

This ref is fantastic just quietly.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Tries from nothing. Well, not quite nothing. Good offload.

 

[Burns]

That very soft. Could be the game there.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Not having a top kicker could cost the Kiwis big, if not today, at some time in the tournament.
