Now that I've had time to rewatch some of #ENGvNZL, I'm a little less down on the two teams. Cunningham-South had a standout performance, and man did Genge get targeted by the Kiwis.

I expect Ireland to hump this All Black team
Off the post and now a scrum...
be still my beating heart
Edit. Then a drop goal attempt wide at the death by Ford
A long time coming with that yellow card on NZ for tackles off the ball...except there is a head on the head, and the yellow card gets rescinded and handed to a different NZ player with some bunker review. What a final 10 minutes...
Tele'a is a great finisher. What a try.
Not sure how McKenzie made that kick, what a strike.
The TNT Sports / Discover stream has been really wonky, but I like the markers they add to the timeline
I know the penalty was for a "no arms tackle", but that Ben Earls attempt doesn't even qualify as a tackle so much at trying to become a human hurdle
I didn't hear Gardner say advantage was over, so why was it not back for the knock-on?
Edit: TMO correctly points out the knock-on was deliberate. So no try to NZ, but at least not a yellow.
England arguing with the ref so much you'd think they were behind.
If Smith was onside, that's a stunning intercept.
Edit: no-one seemed to be complaining, so it's good and England now ahead by 5
That cunningham-south tackle should make the "best of" list for this year
Who is England’s attack coach? #rugby #engvnzl @rugby@a.gup.pe @rugby@sh.itjust.works
Will Jordan, here we go, here we go, here we go.
If the new zealand attack knew their support runners positions better, this could have happened ages ago
England a little lucky with that penalty call for not rolling, because a little more accuracy and that counter-ruck was going to lead to a try.
England already down the other end though.
Tele'a over the line for a try. May there be three more!
Come on New Zealand. Fuck them up
Shopping done, now I can dedicate my saturday entirely to the rugby gods
A frustrating match, neither team playing well. England’s faults were mostly poor execution on things like penalty kicks for touchdown not going out. If they fixed those this win would be a much bigger score.
New Zealand really lacked a game plan, they had no exit strategy so spent too long playing pointless rugby in their own 22. The few bright spots were from individual skill or England errors. They’d need a complete tactical rethink to challenge England again.
Never in doubt. That Atkinson lad looks pretty handy, eh? #ENGvNZL #TheCricket
Catch! #ENGvNZL England 21-3 I less than 7 overs, but you still know they are going to win. #TheCricket
