Third Test (DECIDER!) - ENG v NZ (Sat 14th 1 PM GMT/Sun 15th 12AM AEST / 2AM NZDT)

[Last Week]

And what's this business about swapping jerseys. It was always shorts, swap shorts at the end, not jerseys.

 

[Fast Eddie]

International league the winner, of sorts.

Hardly. It was for the most part a boring series between two understrength sides.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Mighty mgihty ingergrlund world champions

 

[Burns]

Hardly. It was for the most part a boring series between two understrength sides.

For us dedicated leagueies, yeah no doubt. Terms of broader picture, England shake off the need to win anything, can go into the 4N with confidence. NZ earn much needed money and all round experience.

I don't see negatives!

 

[Schuster86]

Thanks a lot Kearney u f**king idiot, leave out the one decent half NZ had available, I don't care what the stupid prick has achieved, too take three players that have little to no experience at club level let alone at the highest is f**king geniused. The Kiwis forwards done more than enough (in all three games) to win this tournament, just needed some polish at the end of sets. All the hard work the team has done in the past couple years means nothing when you've got a coach that cheapens the jersey the way Kearney does, rant over.

 

[Indelible]

Good solid series win. Outstanding kicking game by Matty smith today, was probably the difference. England got the monkey of the back and will be better for it

 

[AuckMel]

Good on the Kiwis for at least trying to play footy in trying conditions, just couldn't finish it off early in the game and go into the break with a lead that they really should've had.

Can't for the life of me work out why the Sutton wasn't doing the game and why the Kiwis ever agreed to it. Grow some bloody balls.

As for the commentary, way to ruin a game guys.

 

[deluded pom?]

Fookin' hilarious.

 

[Wizardman]

Im expecting Sean O'Laughlin and James Graham to get their knighthoods now.

 

[Evil Homer]

Terrible result for England as it means McNamara will probably be coaching the side next year and into 2017.

 

[Fast Eddie]

So who comes into that England backline? Reed and Tomkins?

 

[roughyedspud]

1 series win against NZs F Team and England are gloating? Lol you'll be lucky to beat the Scots next year in the 4 nations

F team...really lol

 

[roughyedspud]

So who comes into that England backline? Reed and Tomkins?

Reed for bateman...thats it

 

[Fast Eddie]

Reed for bateman...thats it

You guys need some better outside backs. I know ours weren't great but with Johnson/Foran they get to made look better.

The English forward pack is very solid but the halves and backs lack any real creativity or firepower.

 

[Harrigan]

England's forwards should be much better next year. They need to stick with Smith though. He controlled everything today. Much better than the Williams experiment we've seen the last 2 weeks. His time will come, just not yet

 

[lafai]

F team...really lol

Okay F team was an exaggeration. But the halves throughout this series were 2 centres and an interchange hooker whilst for England your halves were 3 actual you know.. halves lol .. even without halves NZ were 7 points away from winning the series

 

[roughyedspud]

7 points away from winning the series??? Behave lad..we never,ever looked like losing games 1 & 3.....game 2 was just one of the freak games


But twist it how yoy like if it makes you feel better lol

 

[kiwileaguefan]

7 points away from winning the series??? Behave lad..we never,ever looked like losing games 1 & 3.....game 2 was just one of the freak games

Are you kidding?? Man your as deluded as the English commentators...

 

[Brutus]

Well done to England for winning that series despite having Watkins in the team.

That guy is hopeless.

 

[Scubby]

This is why I'm annoyed that Australia didn't play any test matches this year. Serious lack of quality football.

You did play one and got your arses handed back on a plate by NZ. Wasn't it 26-6 by half time?
