Les All Blacks s'imposent de peu contre l'Angleterre

L’Angleterre a réalisé une grosse première mi-temps. Dès le Kapa O Pongo, les Anglais sont venus au défi des All Blacks en montant à la ligne médiane.

Pour autant, ce sont ces derniers qui ont ouvert la marque par l’intermédiaire de Mark Tele’a qui a bénéficié du gros travail de Sititi qui a fixé deux défenseurs dans le fermé. Tele’a a ensuite pris Genge à la course pour aplatir et son essai a été transformé par Beauden Barrett.

Smith a permis aux Anglais de rester au contact mais les Néo-Zélandais sont une nouvelle fois allés à dame grâce à Will Jordan.

Mais les Anglais ont pu compter sur Marcus Smith au pied pour rester dans le match et concrétiser la pression mise sur les visiteurs. À la mi-temps, le score était de 12-14 pour les Blacks.

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso a fini par récompenser les Anglais par un premier essai à la 46e minute grâce à une passe interceptée par Smith, qui a transformé et validé le bon travail des siens en leur permettant de repasser devant à 19-14.

À l’heure de jeu, Smith a passé la pénalité du 22-14 mais doucement, les All Blacks, en tenant le ballon comme ils le font si bien, ont réussi d’abord à revenir à 22-17 puis à envoyer Mark Tele’a à l’essai sur l’aile droite à trois minutes de la fin. McKenzie transformait et permettait à la Nouvelle-Zélande de repasser à 24-22.

Une minute plus tard, George Ford tapait le poteau sur une pénalité lointaine obtenue à la suite d’un contact à la tête sur un plaquage d’Anton Lienert-Brown sur Theo Dan. Si ce plaquage a valu un jaune « bunkerisé » au Néo-Zélandais, George Ford, lui, ne s’est pas démonté et a tenté un drop après la sirène mais sa tentative est passée légèrement à droite.

Si les Anglais ont un peu manqué de pragmatisme sur la fin de la rencontre, ils ont toutefois livré un joli combat qui n’a pas suffi à faire tomber les All Blacks.

England internationals disagree on final play execution vs All Blacks

Okay, so we blew it big time on Saturday. So rather than repeating what most people have all ready said, what do I want to see from Borthwick going forward?


Let's keep Marcus Smith on the pitch if he's fit and playing well. I was really pleased with his goal kicking. It used to be his weakness. I feel sympathy for George Ford who hadn't kicked all match and then had a kick to win the game. You hear pundits and commentators commend kickers who have come off the bench and pulled that off. Its not easy. If Steve B continues to substitute players with no clear reason then he is going to get criticised.


On paper I thought England would beat NZ if they played to their potential and didn't show NZ too much respect. Okay, the off the ball tackles certainly stopped England scoring tries, but I would have liked to see more smashing over gainlines and less kicking for position. Yes, I also know it's the Springbok endorsed world cup double winning formula but the Kiwi defence isn't the Bok defence, is it. If you have the power to put Smith on the front foot then why muzzle him? I guess what I'm saying is back, yourself. Why give the momentum to a team like NZ? Why feed the beast? Don't give the ball to NZ. Well d'uh.


Our scrum is a long term weakness. If you are going to play Itoje then he needs an ogre next door and a decent front row. Where is our third world class lock? Where are are realible front row bench replacements? The England scrum has been flakey for a while now. It blows hot and cold. Our front five bench is not world class.


On the positive side I love our starting backrow right now. I'd like to see them stick together through to the next world cup.


Anyway, there is always another Saturday.

Scott Robertson responds to criticism over All Blacks' handling errors

Robertson is more a manager of coaches than a coach so it comes down to intent of outcomes at a high level. I like his intent, I like the fact his Allblacks are really driving the outcomes however as he's pointed out the high error rates are not test level and their control of the game is driving both wins and losses. England didn't have to play a lot of rugby, they made far fewer mistakes and were extremely unlucky not to win.


In fact the English team were very early in their season and should've been comfortably beaten by an Allblacks team that had played multiple tests together.


Razor has himself recognised that to be the best they'll have to sort out the crisis levels of mistakes that have really increased since the first two tests against England.


Early tackles were a classic example of hyper enthusiasm to not give an inch, that passion that Razor has achieved is going to be formidable once the unforced errors are eliminated.


That's his secret, he's already rebuilt the passion and that's the most important aspect, its inevitable that he'll now eradicate the unforced errors. When that happens a fellow tier one nation is going to get thrashed. I don't think it will be until 2025 though.


The Allblacks will lose both tests against Ireland and France if they play high error rates rugby like they did against England.


To get the unforced errors under control he's going to be needing to handover the number eight role to Sititi and reset expectations of what loose forwards do. Establish a clear distinction with a large, swarthy lineout jumper at six that is a feared runner and dominant tackler and a turnover specialist at seven that is abrasive in contact. He'll then need to build depth behind the three starters and ruthlessly select for that group to be peaking in 2027 in hit Australian conditions on firm, dry grounds.


It's going to help him that Savea is shifting to the worst super rugby franchise where he's going to struggle behind a beaten pack every week.


The under performing loose forward trio is the key driver of the high error rates and unacceptable turn overs due to awol link work. Sititi is looking like he's superman compared to his openside and eight.


At this late stage in the season they shouldn't be operating with just the one outstanding loose forward out of four selected for the English test. That's an abject failure but I think Robertson's sacrificing link quality on purpose to build passion amongst the junior Allblacks as they see the reverential treatment the old warhorses are receiving for their long term hard graft.


It's unfortunately losing test matches and making what should be comfortable wins into nail biters but it's early in the world cup cycle so perhaps it's a sacrifice worth making.


However if this was F1 then Sam Cane would be Riccardo and Ardie would be heading into Perez territory so the loose forwards desperately need revitalisation through a rebuild over the next season to complement the formidable tight five.
