The ball wasn’t grounded so penalty try is correct decision, yellow card offence.

But he still did knee the player in the head. Players don't try and come up with high shots but they're still a penalty when it happens.

I would agree, its the myth that if you play in NRL your international class.

Scrappy, seriously have you never watched the game before?

Watch him in defence, he's jumped in and across a number of times when Johnson has the ball, they have spotted it and have run it down his channel on the last a couple of times because of it.

And so far they've not got past. He's coming up with the tackles.

True but not every high shot is a yellow card. There is no way the player should of been binned for that.

England really need to sort their kicking game.

Powder puff three quarter line is going to cost us this game

England have nothing in the halves

Why is Hodgson still on?!

If it doesn't improve quick then I'd mix things up and swap Tomkins and Lomax around and see how that goes. Might not do anything but at least it's trying something and can't really be (much) worse.

Get Clark on for a start, might create some momentum to play off.

I like Hodgson but i just don't think he suits england style of play, clark playing off the back of quick plays would be more effective imo

Not doing too bad.

Get the feeling however, that the kiwis still have a couple of trys in them.

Get in Gildart.

Good try, other than switching off for DWZ try Bateman has been excellent

Zelezniak is absolute garbage today at fault for all three tries. Hopefully they keep picking him

Classic rattiness from Tomkins

Great win. Plenty of improvement left in that team but a hard fought win.

Shame about the attendance.

England, apart from two errors that were punished, defended well.
Good to get the first win under the belt.

Well, you can tell who coaches this NZ side. Constant messing about at the ruck and dubious tackle techniques. With the Connor try the first tackler went round his neck, we then had the knees to the head and then a third tackler comes in with a stiff arm. For me that was a penalty try and 3 kiwis in the bin.

That game reminded me so much of the GF, stop start, way too many stoppages for the penalised team to get their breath back, can we have a proper ref next week please.

Ideally one that thinks knees to the head is worthy of a yellow card.
