ENG v NZ @ ELLAND ROAD, LEEDS // Sunday 11 Nov - Monday 01h30 (AEDT) 03h30 (NZDT)

[Force]

Well done nz,we weren't at the races today...

More like NZ turned up and Eng still in the changing sheds. One wonders the mindset of Eng going into this match having already won the series. The Kiwi halves went well for a change.

That result is just typical of England in any sport. Start to get a bit of momentum a decent crowd then just don’t even show up and get a complete flogging.

Had the series been tied at 1 all going into elland rd then I’m absolutely certain England don’t get smashed by 30+ points. That being said I still think the kiwis would have won because this is a very good and exciting young NZ side.

All in all England are deserving winners of a very close and competitive series in which they(England) took their foot of the gas and NZ finally turned up to the party in the 3rd test.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Best team in the world.

 

[RedVee]

Wow, I was shocked by the score line.

Deserved winners? Difference in game one was a bullshit penalty try...difference in game 2 was a video ref awarded try even though it was a knock on...only difference was game three the video ref didn't f**k it up and the kiwis actually turned up for 80mins not just for 38 mins.

 

[Springs09]

Yeah Australia are shaking in their boots

Are you sure you’re not Tongan?

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Wow what a thrashing. Theres no sugar coating that score line.

One of the commentators crack me up..."oh he doesnt think its try, hes going upstairs", nek minit...the commentator is silenced as he watches his winger step OUT not once but three times LOL. Where do they get these guys?...they make themselves look stupid.

I’m actually agreeing with you that if NZ didn’t switch off and played the full 80 mins in tests 1&2 the result is different but unfortunately for you they(NZ) did switch off.

btw what’s the deal with ken maumalo?? He looks a completely different player from last season and I thought he’s been outstanding this series. He’s transformation has been nothing short of amazing to the point that he must be NZ’s #1 ranked winger??

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

The English cheats are going to use this score line as an excuse for robbing the Kiwis of the series. I really hope we stop touring those countries until they can prove their officiating is up to standard. How they missed that eye gouge which was a send off offence was a total and utter disgrace.

Proof is in the pudding only difference in the first two games was that dickhead English video referee who could see anything that benefited England but turn a blind eye to a blatant eye gouge

Um I think he's had one good game in the series. He hasn't had as much opportunities in the first two tests but he did well in this game.

That english ref is usually very good. I'd say he's one of the best refs in the world. It was just that game he missed some clear as day things but maybe he just didnt see them from his angle. We had the benefit of the TV angle and replays. Overall he wasn't too bad in that game IMO.

Im sure it was Sutton reffing the eye gouge game. Im not sure. Then again, I didnt see the eye gouge incident too when I was watching the game believe it or not.

You’ve lost to England 3 times this year, but it’s all just bad reffing.

He was shocking last year..i use to call him feet for hands as he had a good 1-2 basic handling errors every game.....people were calling for his head at the Warriors and I believe he was getting death threats on social media too. This year he really stepped up, between him RTS AND Fusitua, they are arguably the best back three in the NRL...

He played test five tests scoring our tries is pretty impressive considering the nation's he played against.

They didn't miss the eye gouge... Watch the incident again..after it happens and it's replayed you can hear Sutton talking to the video ref and Sutton says something to the effect of "if he's done that then I need too....." and then the game just restarts...

They where aware of it but let it go...which is worse than missing it

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Please explain how a video referee one week can see a penalty try from a no try because a player slid in with his knees but the following week turn a blind eye to up there with the probably the dirtiest act on the playing field in 2018......yet one got suspended for 4 games and the other got nothing....lets not forget the try to win the second test which was a clear knock on.....

Today they got shown up after all the smack talk from the UK about how great this England team is.....

 

[roughyedspud]

We'd won the series so couldn't be arsed....that normally the excuse you guys down under use lol...plus it was our 2ND string side...another excuse you guys use...

So it's our turn....deal with it lol

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

If say England, Tonga and the Kiwis played tests against each other on a regular (like saying during the Origin and after the NRL season) and without the Kangaroos, would they improve to the point that they became better than the Roos?
