    I don't think the bent knees is enough mitigation, he's got enough time to adjust a bit more and he doesn't (imho)

    The drops in discipline from NZ was unusual, some of it was pressure but there were moments were you'd almost say nerves got to them

    +1 here. I was naturally nervous, the All Blacks are still to be feared. What hurts the most is that we didn't play our best. Had we lost while playing our best I'd feel immensely better.

    Christ that was tough to watch. NZ were brilliant, but we were our own worst enemy We lost the breakdown We let nerves get to us too much in the first half We made a lot of silly decisions when people were isolated. Overall, NZ deserved to win. However, we could have won that had we done the...

    I think once their captain came off they became static. They're understandably cocky ( I still think they're full of good players), but they're only 5th because England and Wales are in disarray. They're full of talent but they're not a well oiled team, and they don't seem to be mentally tough...

    Went off for Blood, came back on and then went back off. I'm suspecting a light injury and they don't wanna risk it when we realised we had them pinned

    I can't help but be nervous in big sports games. I'm an anxious person at the best of times :lol:
