I'd have given Scott Williams game this week myself and please, please leave Baldwin on the bench this week, cause if he comes on and loses his first line out l'll be wanting a new tele ffs.

It's actually been a relatively successful tour. NZ are so far ahead of every other country it is almost beyond belief. When they crank up the pressure they go straight for your weaknesses and are ruthless. If we were in SA or Oz we'd probably be 1-1 or 2-0 up the way we have played for three quarters of both tests.

Another defeat here though, and probably a creaming. The players must be mentally and physically on their knees after the WC season.

The WRUs decision to re-employ Howley and McBryde to 2019 baffles the f**k out of me mind you. Our line out, maul and ball carrying has been utter dogshit throughout Mcbryde's employment. So has our 'back play' with Howley, which is non-existent. None of the players have improved a single skill in those areas and there are no patterns of strategic improvement. Stealing a living.

I think we have tried to play flowing rugby and have gained respect.

We do though have many issues to address. We have carried Amos on the left wing, what was the point of taking Eli Wallker on tour and calling up Keelan Giles if they werent going to be in the match day 23?

If the 6 nations started in the next week or 2 I think England would smash us all. However a lot can happen between now and next Feb (players losing form, fall outs, complacency and injury etc)

Howley and McBryde must be pinching themselves as I've seen no improvement in lineouts and some of our centres still dont know when to pass.

All in all we havent a massive depth of talent like others do , so I suppose we cant be too hard on the boys who in fairness have stood up to the World Champions in their back yard. They must be exhausted!!

I can't wait to see the back of Howley and probably McBryde, but I just don't see what Howley gives us, other than crash bang fuking wallop, plus he's the reason that some players are being overlooked the guy is a cretin.

I'm no big fan of Rowley, but it must be obvious to all that McBryde is the weakest of weak links.

A proper line out coach would make an enormous difference.

I know, Monny but my point still stands I know they call him Stan Laurel, but I reckon Stan would have done a far better job than this Howley clown.

So, today's tactic...kick it straight to the most dangerous back 3 in world rugby..don't chase...don't tackle.

Cunning. Well done Gatso.

Oh and pick two props that can't scrum, run or tackle. Genius.

Aye, both tries plus the one they didn't give, came from us kicking the bloody ball to them. Glad we're learning lessons from this tour.

Not sure why we were not awarded a try at the ruck before half time, look to have grounded the ball on the line.

All heart has gone. It's going to be really painful now. I'm sure the ABs will be merciful. They are renowned for it after all.

Yes, gulf in class is huge. They play rugby at speed playing what's in front of them, we are like snail trying to cross the road trying to follow set patterns.

We give them a game in the first two tests, this one is clearly a game to far, gym monkeys need to stay out of the gym pumping weights and stay out on the field and develop their skill sets and speed, probably still won't be enough, but it'll be a start.
