00:00And then, on Wednesday, the first of a three-match test series at Lord's England versus West Indies,
00:05a very fitting venue for James Anderson's last test for England as well.
00:09That's 10am on Sky Sports Cricket.
00:12Elsewhere as well, well, he may not be in the squad this weekend,
00:15but England's Beno Abana has been keeping himself busy, hasn't he?
00:19He's part of the Sky Sports New Focus Fund initiative to inspire and fund diverse projects
00:24and voices and give them a platform on Sky Sports.
00:27Well, Beno's feature, Rising Heat, is the first of these projects to go live
00:30and features fellow rugby star Anthony Watson and footballer Tyro Mings
00:34literally being grilled, metaphorically and physically, in a sauna.
00:39I'll leave that one with you. What's not to like?
00:43Meanwhile, back in Dunedin, and it is neck and neck between England and New Zealand.
00:48Poised nicely, shall we say.
00:50Ten apiece.
00:51Can England get their first win on New Zealand soil in 21 years?
00:54Well, let's find out and see how the second half unfolds.
00:57I'll hand you back to you, Mars and David, for the second half.
01:01Thanks, Anna.
01:02First thing to tell you is that Finlay Christie is on at scrum half for New Zealand,
01:07obviously in response to the blow on the knee that TJ Perenara got
01:17towards the end of that first period.
01:20As said before, Christie comes into this test in fine form for the Auckland Blues.
01:27Super rugby winners.
01:29First time in years.
01:30First time since 2003.
01:34Yes, you're familiar with England and New Zealand.
01:37Last time they won here.
01:40They make the early error at the start of this second half.
01:45It's really punchy.
01:46Carry that from Chandler Cunningham South.
01:48He's hard to handle.
01:50Hit by both the all-black second rows and still makes a meter.
01:58Just a little fumble on the floor.
01:59Alex Mitchell did brilliantly to get that up and away, but it was too late.
02:06Such a special night for Chandler Cunningham South,
02:11given his childhood links with New Zealand
02:17on the way through to being a young man, young prospect.
02:30His education is rugby education in this country.
02:38For Finn Baxter, winning 17, he was the early replacement for Joe Marner.
02:44He did hobble off.
02:45I think he would have been listed as tactical low, just in case he's required later on.
02:56First cap for Baxter.
02:59And for Damian McKenzie, it's cap number 48.
03:01And he has looked right on top of his game in this test match,
03:05apart from his kicking off the tee.
03:07Yeah, that hasn't been great.
03:10A lot of talk in England, of course, about Marcus Smith.
03:13Can he nail down the 10 jersey?
03:14Well, Damian McKenzie, he's got, what, 14 more caps than Marcus Smith, I think.
03:19He hasn't nailed down the New Zealand test jersey either at fly half,
03:22so there's a lot of pressure on him too.
03:27Both sides have alternative kickers in the midfield.
03:31Ah, you know, this is exactly what I was talking about in the first half.
03:37Ethan de Groot going up and around the outside.
03:40Stay in.
03:41The thing is, he doesn't need to.
03:42He's massive and so strong.
03:45He can stay in there against Will Stewart and take the heat.
03:48But he's desperate to move forward, which is admirable in itself.
03:51But you can't go around the outside.
03:52You watch Will Stewart on the England tighthead here.
03:54He's not getting pushed directly backwards.
03:57De Groot's coming out underneath his armpit.
03:59He's going around the outside.
04:00Then his mates can follow him through.
04:03He can't do that.
04:04It's taken 40 minutes to ping it.
04:08But it's the right call.
04:13Marcus Smith, who does have that backup of Henry Slade,
04:16as we mentioned before.
04:18Jordan Barrett could back up for Damon McKenzie.
04:22Pena Fetter as well.
04:23Furbank as well for England.
04:27Smith.
04:31I think that early miss, but...
04:34On the stroke of halftime.
04:36He looked very confident.
04:36Very similar angle to this.
04:39Slightly off-center.
04:40Can he smash this one through as well?
04:43Yes, he can.
04:45No, he can't.
04:47Oh, but he's going to work his way back through the posts.
04:51It's set off on a horrible line.
04:55And then it just didn't do enough.
04:59I think it's a really interesting few minutes in terms of the next couple of penalties.
05:03What Steve Borthwick does, or if they make a change on the field.
05:07Do they get ruthless and say, right, you've missed a couple.
05:10Slade is taking over.
05:12Are they that ruthless?
05:13Or do they say this is great learning for a young fly half?
05:17Interesting one.
05:18How ruthless are they going to be with a goal kicking?
05:21Well, it has to be now.
05:24Near the winner test match.
05:27And that was not a pleasant strike from Marcus Smith.
05:31And when it left the tee, it looked troubled.
05:37There's no atmospherics to affect it in here.
05:39Anyway, let's concentrate on Baxter giving it to Stewart.
05:48And then we'll be telling themselves here, we're still on the attack.
05:51The miss from Smith might actually work for us.
05:55Comes Furbank back to the forwards.
06:01And it's a penalty.
06:06Both sides have suffered from that.
06:07They've just lost their grip.
06:10Sometimes in attack.
06:11New Zealand more often than England because they've attacked more.
06:14And given away the decision in opposition 22.
06:18I think what England have found is three or four times now is that if there's one carry
06:22that's a little bit undynamic, that's a little bit passive.
06:25When they hit the ground a millisecond too early.
06:28The threat of that breakdown is so strong.
06:31For New Zealand, the ball gets nicked.
06:35Brilliant turnover from Maruotoji.
06:37Fantastic.
06:38So good for such a tall man with such long limbs at the breakdown.
06:43Ardi Sevea too is in a lovely position.
06:44But Will Stewart cleans him out from the side.
06:47Illegal entry.
06:51Nice take from Patrick Tirpilot who went into that Super Rugby final with a knee problem.
06:57But he came through all right.
06:5960 minutes.
07:00Amazing effort.
07:01Ferrobosso to Henry Slade.
07:09That's what England will want to see.
07:10More of Manny Ferrobosso drifting off that wing.
07:13Getting more and more involved.
07:14Here he is again waiting.
07:17Stuck into the breakdown first.
07:19Here's Furbank.
07:22George Martin.
07:24Underhill to Marcus Smith.
07:26That's a lovely little delay to find his club colleague.
07:31Chandler cutting himself.
07:37Mitchell too cutting himself.
07:39Showing great strength and offloading.
07:42Returning the compliment to Marcus Smith.
07:46Here's Smith again.
07:47Challenging.
07:48Beating men.
07:49Beating Rico Ioanni.
07:51Skipping away from him.
07:52Tommy Freeman.
07:54Trying to get that strength going.
07:57Oh my god.
07:58Maratoje scored one from short range.
08:01Nearly over for another.
08:03England that close.
08:09Underhill wait.
08:10George is there.
08:12Who's going to take it on?
08:15Mitchell can be deadly from this range as well.
08:17He can get underneath.
08:20Has to help out there with the clear out.
08:22Now he has his hands on it to scrum off.
08:24Smith to Benno.
08:26Looking for that leg drive off the floor.
08:30Mitchell again.
08:30Smith.
08:31It's wide and it's fair.
08:32We're both out.
08:33England are in.
08:40Excellent patience from England there.
08:45Waiting for the right moment.
08:49Test match intensity and test match decision making.
08:53And Marcus Smith considering it.
08:54Just missed a kick.
08:56Absolutely central to all of that.
08:59Absolutely central.
09:02Elite attacking play from England.
09:04Fantastic variation.
09:06A couple of lovely delayed passes at the line from Marcus Smith.
09:11But still you need someone cutting those lines.
09:13You need someone being direct.
09:15Chandler cunning himself.
09:16Tommy Freeman.
09:18Smashing through the middle of the New Zealand defence.
09:20Rocking them onto the back foot.
09:22Narrowing them up with accuracy.
09:24Deaf touches and power mixed in together.
09:27And as soon as they're narrow, the ball is spun wide to Faye Woboso.
09:30Who scores again for England.
09:32Brilliant attack.
09:33Brilliant attack.
09:37So many times in those situations you see sides just going for the line.
09:41Hammering away.
09:42Just one out.
09:43One out.
09:44And then just not crossing that line.
09:47But England chose width.
09:51And what seems to be exactly the right point.
09:53Of course it makes it a difficult conversion for Smith.
09:56But.
09:57And the five's already better than his missed three.
10:02And this might be what he needs.
10:03That.
10:04Go on. Give it a go.
10:08Not quite so much expectation.
10:10But he can't have the two points.
10:14But Mane, Faye Woboso has his third international try.
10:18In just his fifth cap for England.
10:21Lovely pass from Smith.
10:23Meat and drink really.
10:24For someone of his calibre.
10:25And Faye Woboso was.
10:27I like how he took contact before he scored it.
10:29Just in case.
10:30So much he enjoys it.
10:35And change made on the loose end.
10:38Ethan de Groot has gone.
10:39Of that.
10:40Nungafasi is on.
10:46Oh, a take from George Martin.
10:51Really another.
10:54Who looks destined for a long international career.
11:08Catch from Barry.
11:09Didn't have much space.
11:10But how did he offload that to Reece.
11:12And then Taylor.
11:21Coming over halfway by Tuatalotu.
11:35Christie.
11:38New Zealand have to resort to the kick themselves.
11:41Shape on the body there from Marcus Smith.
11:46Oh, that's the turnover for New Zealand.
11:47Again at that breakdown.
11:49That will be of a concern to England.
11:51Major concern at the moment.
11:52Because Talay has got it.
11:54He's trying to get away from Faye Woboso.
11:55That's a fine tackle.
11:58And he's gone into touch.
12:00New Zealand saying deliberately not denied.
12:02I don't think it was.
12:03I might be wrong.
12:05I think it's actually a bit loose for Mark Talay.
12:07But Sebu Reece on the floor.
12:09Fantastic.
12:10Yes, he's not supporting his own body weight at the end.
12:12But he's nicked the ball by then.
12:15So Mark Talay.
12:16He's never really going to go around Faye Woboso.
12:18Good tackle.
12:19He sort of post the ball back into Rico Ioanni's foot.
12:28I'll take it all back.
12:29As I was saying, Miles.
12:30It definitely came off the England player.
12:33Is this live or can we edit that bit out?
12:36He posts it back.
12:39Oh, Henry Slayton.
12:40Yes, it is.
12:41Rico Ioanni kept right.
12:45He was right there, to be fair.
12:49Just wait.
12:50Get him on.
12:50Get him on.
12:51Just go back.
12:52England have made two changes.
12:54Dan Cole is on.
12:55114 caps now.
12:57Equals Jason Lennon.
12:58England's second most capped player now.
13:01Alongside Lennon.
13:05There he is.
13:05Tom Curry also on.
13:08Tom Curry over that.
13:12Terrible injury, really.
13:15What a comeback towards the end of the season for the At Sale.
13:19And the playoff game in the Premiership against Bath.
13:23Yeah, he was a machine, wasn't he?
13:24When he came off the bench.
13:26Hadn't played for ages.
13:27He was monstrous from carry number one.
13:36And New Zealand making a couple of changes as well.
13:39Fletcher Newell is the front-rower.
13:41And we know exactly who this is.
13:43The great Bowden Barrett.
13:45The one who took a sabbatical at the World Cup.
13:48Played in Japan.
13:50His 124th cap.
13:52And the survivors from the 2014 series between these two.
13:57Mo Salve.
13:58Down to Christie.
14:08That's Cody Taylor.
14:15And Scott Barrett.
14:20Taylor again.
14:25Rico Ioanni.
14:27Good from Smith.
14:28Good tackle that.
14:29Really accurate.
14:31Stopped him in his tracks.
14:37McKenzie tries it again.
14:39Scott Barrett's eyes were lining up.
14:41But he couldn't get there.
14:42And Henry Slade covered.
14:44And across comes Mitchell again.
14:48And they know they have to protect that ball at the breakdown.
14:52And also if they can.
14:53Try and take a leaf out of the all-black book.
14:55And counter-rock.
15:00With a challenge of their own.
15:02In such an important area.
15:04There's the breakdown penalty.
15:07Get that technique right.
15:10Yeah, I think Tom Curry actually grabbed hold of George Martin.
15:12And sent him into contact, didn't he?
15:14You can sort of get away with that.
15:16As long as you don't go to ground with your mate.
15:18Because then two of you are hitting the deck at exactly the same time.
15:21It means no one can counter-rock or go for the jackals.
15:23So Tom Curry can send George Martin in.
15:26But he has to let him hit the deck on his own.
15:29You watch here.
15:29Curry at the back.
15:31He sort of just flops over the top.
15:34I tell you what.
15:34There's a...
15:37No, he didn't hit the ground at the same time.
15:40Tom Curry did let Martin hit the ground first.
15:42I would say that is a very tight call.
15:57David McKenzie still looking for his...
16:00First points of the night.
16:06In the final analysis of this game.
16:08There will be...
16:10Inevitably a talk about missed kicks.
16:12But both sides have done it.
16:17They seem to tend to look at...
16:19If you're supporting a team.
16:20Now it's affected that team.
16:23Not what the opposition could have done as well.
16:26That's looking good.
16:29That one is straight through.
16:33And a nod of approval.
16:35From those who've been there and done it.
16:38Richard Mwanga and Shana Prezel looking on.
16:42Good kick from David McKenzie.
16:43Yeah, if you're an England fan.
16:44You go in at halftime saying.
16:45Well, Parker Smith missed one.
16:47We would have been up if he'd got it.
16:48But you sort of forget that New Zealand missed a couple themselves.
16:53Much better kick from McKenzie.
16:55What a test match.
16:55Fantastic stuff.
17:01Taken by Scott Barrett.
17:03Like Martin earlier.
17:05Absolutely, as you say.
17:06Brilliant on the restart.
17:08You know, Dan is on then at hooker.
17:11And here's Saracen for his club mate.
17:14Captain Jamie George.
17:20England still with plenty of leaders out there.
17:23So there.
17:23Got a good hand on that far end.
17:26Savir.
17:28McKenzie.
17:30He's into Dan Cole in the end.
17:37Bargery forward is Scott Barrett.
17:41Five seasons a leader with Scott Robertson.
17:44His international coach now at the Crusaders.
17:48What a relationship they have.
17:51Careful there.
17:52Tommy Freeman round that neck again.
17:59It wasn't like he was sliding up.
18:01He started pretty high.
18:03But it's way gone.
18:05Marcus Smith feels the force of Severice.
18:10But he's okay.
18:13That's a big shot but he rode it well.
18:17He's down.
18:17That's a bit high again from Tullipalotu.
18:21Didn't linger though.
18:25Mitchell hooks it and finds Bowden Barrett.
18:29Who finds Damian McKenzie.
18:30This is what he loves when it opens up.
18:31And he does.
18:33he's also.
18:36Got Lawrence there.
18:38But again England.
18:40Going off their feet at the tackle situation.
18:47Really really good pressure.
18:49From Sam Underhill.
18:50Damian McKenzie once or twice has been forced to taking kicks.
18:53Taking options I don't think he wanted to tak.
18:56I don't think there options he perhaps would have taken in the first half.
18:59I don't think there are options, he perhaps would have taken in the first half
19:02England getting off the line
19:05Tom Curry and Theo Dan steaming off the line, shutting down space
19:09The All Blacks just need to regain a little bit of composure
19:12Penalty will help, Underhill does really well here, starts off the tackle
19:15So Lawrence can just smack him, but then Lawrence steams in
19:20Doesn't keep his balance, kind of piles over the top
19:27And it's a fact
19:29He's put New Zealand in a great spot
19:35Looks like Mario Toget has taken over the leadership like he did in Tokyo
19:40And he's taken over the leadership of that lineout, won that ball
19:43Taken over the airways
19:45And here's Ben Earle
19:52Smith, found some space there
19:55Tits up nicely though for Bowden Barrett
19:57Well if you ever want a demonstration of an important, the importance of the set piece
20:01Look where we were 15 seconds ago and look where we are now
20:05Not an awful kick from Bowden Barrett either
20:08It's not just chuck him up, it's timing, it's good lifting, it's communication
20:13It's prep during the week, the boring stuff that no one sees away from the lights
20:18Just as Finau did in the first half for New Zealand
20:22Really good defence from Itoji
20:24And win one back
20:26England don't need this
20:29And here's a concern, Tim Baxter down, already lost Joe Mahler
20:43A glance there from Dan Cole over to his prop partner
20:48He's okay
20:49He's having plenty of Finau's going off
20:51There's been enough from him to suggest
20:54There's a whole lot more to come
20:56Yeah, I think you're right, I'd agree with that
20:57And I think we talked about Courtney Laws in the first half
20:59But New Zealand similarly have been on a journey
21:02For a while now, they've got some wonderful back row options
21:04But replacing the great Jerome Kano hasn't proven easy for New Zealand
21:07Despite all of those options
21:10Maybe when Shannon Frizzell's burned out
21:12But it's been a long way to go
21:15Maybe when Shannon Frizzell's fully fit, fully firing and in form
21:19He's the guy, Sama Penny, Finau's looked good for an hour
21:25If you want to see what he does
21:26He's tackling Super Rugby against the Waratahs, Tentain, Ed Med
21:31Yeah, no thanks
21:34He's still feeling it
21:39There we go, so that's strong
21:42And Spencer's on for England at Scrum Heart
21:46And a magnificent Premiership Final
21:49Places Mitchell, wasn't a winner on the day
21:51Nor was Sam Underhill
21:52Perhaps he should have been clear of the match on the day
21:56Penalty's gone to New Zealand
21:57More frustration for England
21:58They get in that position and then
22:00It's gone
22:02In a whiff
22:03Yeah, it was looking good, really good use of Manny Faye-Woboso
22:06England need to use him as much as they possibly can
22:09Just like New Zealand used Mark Talea
22:12As much as they possibly can
22:13It's not just about one-on-ones out wide
22:15They're great
22:16Use him, use him, use him
22:18But that time Ben Earle, I think, got in front of the ball
22:22He can't quite believe it's a penalty
22:24Jordie Barrett wears one
22:26That's fair enough
22:27He's ahead of the ball
22:28And he's smacked in one
22:30It's an accident that it caught him in the chops or on the neck
22:35But again, if you're the ref and you're making decisions in a millisecond
22:37Not a great look, that
22:39Just wait, wait, wait
22:41I set the mark there
22:42You push back, you push back, push
22:45Hold, hold
22:46Referee's still talking
22:47Can't tell if he's being thrown
22:53Nick Evans mentioned at half-time
22:54That New Zealand will be keen to back their fitness
22:56That means they want to up the pace
22:57Keen for the quick line-outs
22:58Keen to keep it moving
23:02It's down from Tupou Bahari
23:04Who's the replacement for Finau
23:07It's only what, England are taking some space
23:13This guy's just danger
23:14What a handful
23:17So slippery
23:19Out from McKenzie
23:21To Sardia
23:23That was Bowden Barrett
23:25And then Jordie Barrett
23:27There's Scott Barrett
23:31And it's in
23:33It's in
23:36No
23:39The brothers New Zealand here
23:40Having to work very hard
23:42But England too in defence
23:49Denied those half-chances
23:51Walker-Smith again
23:52A double pump on the pass
23:58Again, I'm not sure New Zealand really would have wanted to kick there
24:00I think the England defence is working nicely
24:02They will blitz no matter what
24:05If you commit that hard and you miss a tackle
24:07It's a good chance you'll concede points
24:09Or at least a lot of ground
24:11But so far it seems to be working for England
24:13Well they're ahead, it's working
24:16And that kick will count as a turnover
24:18Not really a kick to compete
24:20England's defence has earned them this
24:23Position
24:24New Zealand just struggling for time on the ball a bit
24:29Coming around to hook the ball
24:35Here's Smith
24:41He made sure of his touch
24:43Pretty good distance
24:45Scott Robertson looks on from the
24:47Coaching box
24:49We're going to head back to the studio
24:51At Sky and Will Greenwood
24:53Will, what are you thinking?
24:55I'm delighted because the New Zealand attack
24:57They're trying to play from everywhere
24:59But the press, the defensive press
25:01The solidity, staying connected
25:04Is forcing New Zealand to kick
25:06In the last ten minutes, McKenzie's had to go to the boot
25:08Three times
25:10And that's not the way New Zealand like to play
25:12So at the moment, in this sort of mini battle
25:14Of the whole game
25:16England just in the ascendancy through their defence
25:20Thanks Will
25:24Here's Smith again, trying to get that attack
25:28Ticking along nicely as well
25:30Tom Curry, he's stopped
25:33Back at New Zealand, flying through
25:37Just about from onside positions
25:39But they are making it
25:41A right mess at times for England there
25:43Smith looks again, he's going by himself
25:47He found a member of the opposition
25:49But I think he was looking for it
25:53Geordie Barrett's clearance
25:57And there's no need to play that
25:59England will at least throw into the line-up
26:02Geordie Barrett
26:04It is good kick from Geordie Barrett
26:06Nice bit of skill from Damian McKenzie
26:08To get the ball out of Marcus Smith
26:10Tackled to him
26:12But Smith then was just again
26:14Sort of forced to kick a little bit
26:16Not the option he would have wanted
26:18It will count as a kick turnover
26:20It shows you what a mean defence
26:22With a bit of line speed can do
26:24Just cuts your time in half
26:26As New Zealand get tired
26:28Wonder how hard they compete at line-out
26:31Not very
26:35Martin allowed to take
26:39Into the final quarter now
26:45It's Theo Dan
26:47Who will be relishing this
26:58Spencer
27:01As well under pressure
27:05And so does Damian McKenzie
27:09Both sides forcing each other to kick
27:14New Zealand looking to break out here
27:17That's in behind
27:19Furbank
27:21Who didn't risk the long pass
27:23And that is a good return this time
27:25For the All Blacks as they will throw into this line-out
27:27That's what they've been trying to work towards
27:29This kind of position
27:33Got themselves in a great spot
27:35That's a far better kick
27:37He's not forced to kick
27:39Because there's nothing else on
27:41It's a bona fide option from the start
27:43It's well placed
27:45Lovely weight on it
27:47And Furbank yes there was a pass
27:49I think inside to Marcus Smith
27:51I think but he would have looked up
27:53And seen New Zealand jerseys
27:55And thought no thanks
27:58Big man 6 foot 9
28:00117 kilograms
28:02Sapo Oumua
28:04Is on also at hooker for New Zealand
28:06His Savu Rees
28:08Has been very much on today
28:12Oumua gets involved
28:14In action in the loose as well
28:16And it's a penalty
28:18Virtually in front not too far out
28:22And a lovely situation for these
28:24New Zealand players to be in now
28:27They can just go for it
28:29When Mackenzie
28:31Will be the one to kick
28:33You would have thought
28:35Given the closeness of the match
28:37Some of these penalties
28:39The referees do have to take a hard line
28:41On people not lying in the way
28:43Because you want the ball to be quick
28:45And as soon as you stop taking a hard line
28:47On people not moving out the way
28:49People will push those limits
28:51And start accidentally on purpose
28:53Slowing the ball and therefore the game down
28:56Helps when you've got someone like him
28:58Sapo Oumua
29:00Great to watch
29:02Great player to watch
29:04At any level
29:06Super powerful
29:08Helps when you've got someone like him
29:10Coming off the bench
29:12Making dominant carries
29:14Leaving players underneath him
29:16On their backs
29:18As he carries
29:20A bit like Theo Dan
29:22Actually for England
29:25Missed the two conversions
29:27But can he make it
29:29Success with the two penalty goals
29:31Should do
29:35And the flags are raised
29:37New Zealand back in front
29:39Just
29:41England don't lose
29:43This evening
29:45It'll be the first time in their history
29:47They've gone in three games in a row
29:49Against New Zealand
29:51Without being beaten
29:54They won at the
29:56World Cup in 2019
29:58Famous semi-final victory
30:00The 25-all draw at Twickenham
30:02A couple of years ago
30:04In the Autumn Series
30:06Not sure how it quite ended up 25-all
30:08But it did
30:12And that closed
30:14This evening in Dunedin
30:20Tim Smith has replaced Marcus Smith
30:24Tim Smith has replaced Marcus Smith
30:30Partnering Ben Spencer
30:36As England look to find a way here
30:42Etosha
30:54They've tried both sides to
30:56Get that charge down
30:58Hasn't quite happened
31:00This might happen for Bone Barrett
31:02Saw that it was on again
31:04Henry Slade's in there
31:06He's put himself about this evening
31:08As Henry Slade
31:10Make some vital tackles
31:12And here's a chance for Finn Smith
31:14To get himself into the
31:16And his replacement fly half again
31:18Kicks again
31:21Ooh that
31:23Could not have worked out much better
31:25And Bone Barrett
31:27Does the best
31:30Yeah it was a series of
31:32Reasonably ordinary kicks wasn't it
31:34Let's face it
31:36But actually Finn Smith's the final kick
31:38Took an awkward bounce of Bone Barrett
31:40But there ain't many cooler at the back than him
31:42Nice and relaxed
31:44England you'd imagine in this last quarter
31:46Of an hour or so
31:48Are going to have to produce something in attack
31:50A bit of magic
31:52Put a few phases together
31:54Cut some lines like they did in the first half
31:56Or early in the second rather
32:00Game on
32:04Solid front down to Etosha
32:08Keep it up
32:10That's a one stop
32:12One stop nine
32:16It's wide down
32:18And Scott Barrett's got it again
32:22And it's turnover ball again
32:24For New Zealand
32:28Really good scavenging
32:30From the All Blacks captain Scott Barrett
32:32At ball time
32:34But you know
32:36It just looked a bit hesitant from England didn't it
32:38Only got themselves to blame there
32:40They got the one stop call from the referee
32:42And they just let it
32:44Meander on
32:46You just don't take the chance
32:48Don't take the chance
32:50Of letting New Zealand in there
32:52It's not a tackle it's a maul
32:54It's not a tackle it's a maul
32:56So Scott Barrett's action
32:58Was deemed legal
33:00But that from New Zealand's point of view
33:02Great stuff great awareness
33:04Very sharp 68 minutes in from a heavy man
33:06But from England's point of view
33:08Too slow a thought
33:10Don't forget I'm sure you won't but
33:12Just to mark your card on timings
33:14After this it's Australia against Wales
33:16In Sydney
33:18And this afternoon
33:20South Africa
33:22Take on Ireland in Pretoria
33:24And this evening
33:26It's Argentina against
33:32Interesting reaction there from Jamie George
33:34I think he was maybe questioning why the decision
33:36Was given but the reaction from
33:38Steve Borthwick and Richard Wigglesworth
33:40Alongside looked like
33:42You know why do we let it get to that stage
33:44Yeah
33:46I think as soon as you start blaming
33:48Opposition blaming a referee's decision
33:50It's completely natural to do so under pressure
33:52Of course it is but the quicker you can get
33:54To a point of just reflecting
33:56On how you contributed to it both teams
33:58Here very big
34:06It's a reset
34:08You get both back rows saying yes lads
34:10We're having a problem with the height
34:12And having a problem with the distance right
34:14Don't pre-engage and stay up on the set
34:16He's trying to lobby the ref
34:18Tell you now none of the back rowers on the field
34:20Know what's happened here
34:22But yet they all tap their props on the back side
34:24And say yes Fletch
34:26Yes Finn
34:28They don't know
34:30And long may it stay that way
34:32Yeah quite right
34:34Me and Karsink are in jobs isn't it
34:36It's very complicated in there
34:38To understand
34:40Actually I think someone slipped though
34:42That's about it
34:44Reset was the right call
34:46It is a game in many ways of blissful ignorance
34:48Yeah
34:50And it's one of the reasons why we love it so much
34:54Oh that's good
34:56Yeah punched you from New Zealand
34:58They're going to get the penalty
35:00They deserve the penalty
35:02Geordie Barrett
35:04Knows for the million dollar pass
35:06Yeah
35:08He knew he could
35:14Yeah those have been replaced
35:16Respected it
35:18Lovely on the loose end from Offa
35:20Dunga Fasi
35:22He's replaced
35:24Ethan De Groot on the loose end
35:26They swap one massive unit for a man who's so big
35:28He looks like he swallowed Ethan De Groot
35:30Just retained all of his protein
35:32It's enormous
35:34Fletcher Newell
35:36Just ripped through England then
35:40See the pressure comes on Dan Cole on the far side
35:42But on this side Fletcher Newell is able to
35:44Tuck under he see pops his head up between
35:46Theo Dan
35:48And Finn Baxter
35:50Definite pen
35:52Strong boy Newell as well isn't he
35:54Oh yeah
35:56I'm not the only one who likes watching his weightlifting videos online then
35:58Maybe it's just me
36:04That's a dummy
36:06Dummy
36:08And the double pump on the
36:10Throw in is not allowed
36:12We've seen it from Marcus Smith in
36:14Open play
36:16But not from the hooker
36:18Just got to
36:20Omur a little bit there England
36:22Up it goes from Finn Smith
36:24Geordie Barrett took that away
36:26From Finlay Christie
36:28He properly claimed that didn't he
36:30That's a wasted opportunity
36:32That for England to not get anyone up
36:34And competing for that ball
36:36When it's a free hit
36:38And everyone's on their feet
36:40That's a let off for New Zealand
36:44It certainly is
36:46And with that time
36:48And that clock most seemingly
36:50For England against them
36:52Running a bit quicker
36:54Than it is for
36:56New Zealand in their perspective
36:58McKenzie
37:02Freeman's on his own
37:04Now he had to react quickly
37:06After the initial
37:08Half fumble
37:10Verdon Barrett
37:12Referee's happy again
37:14He had a good look at it
37:16Over the shoulder
37:18So the crowd don't like it
37:20But
37:22You wouldn't really expect
37:24A different opinion
37:26A different opinion
37:30From the New Zealand masses
37:32In the edge of their seats here
37:34England taking New Zealand
37:36Right to the brink but
37:38England want much more than that
37:40Second test in Auckland
37:42Where New Zealand as we all know
37:44Never lose
37:46It's got to happen one day though
37:48But a great chance here for England
37:50To get ahead in the series
38:00Terry from
38:02Tupou
38:04Valle
38:06Christie again
38:08Once again New Zealand being reduced
38:10To the kicking game
38:12Oh
38:14Severice
38:16Severice
38:18Reducing
38:20George Fairbank to
38:22A bowl of jelly there
38:24Turn him into a smoothie
38:28How have England retained the ball after that
38:32Jeez Louise what a shot
38:34That's when the kicking game
38:36Can be interesting you see
38:38That can be fun not for George Fairbank
38:40You're obviously a lot healthier
38:42With your eating habits than me
38:46Fairbank's back
38:48Getting ready again though
38:50He would have felt that
38:56Looking for more
38:58Bumping off two of England's front row
39:00There in Baxter and Cobble
39:04Got to stay in it
39:06Here England
39:08Work hard just try and give themselves
39:10One last chance
39:12England
39:14England look to be growing
39:16Into their defensive system
39:18Almost quarter by quarter
39:20Aren't they New Zealand looking less and less likely
39:22To make breaks being forced to kick even more
39:24Forced into options they wouldn't normally
39:26Choose they'll be okay with it because they're ahead
39:28But England ain't giving much away
39:32Absolutely right the development of this
39:34England side happening in front of our eyes
39:36Here's Fairbank again
39:38And here's Reece again
39:40So not against you
39:46Shakes himself down
39:50Tough bloke though George Fairbank
39:52Tough bloke
39:54He's put on
39:56I'm sure he's put on a better size in the last year or so
39:58In the Gallagher Premiership this season he's been
40:00Defending really physically
40:02Really aggressively
40:04He's looked a different physical proposition
40:06He's only so much to you
40:08You're a sitting duck at this point
40:10Absolutely nailed
40:12But hung on to the ball
40:14I thought Sevu Reece actually got his hands on that
40:16The first time around I thought he was
40:18Pretty close to nicking that
40:20Yeah
40:22Reece just able there to help himself
40:24To the Fairbank buffet
40:26Yeah
40:30As you say he's tough
40:34So he's on his slight home
40:36His colleague at Northampton
40:38He's on for his debut
40:40Right at the end here to see if he's the one
40:42Just find some
40:44Magic but England can't really do it
40:46From here and they certainly can't
40:48Do it
40:50When New Zealand have this much possession
40:52In the final moments of the match
40:56Cole's got a hand and he slapped it back
40:58Here's Reece now with ball in hand
41:00Christy to Barrett
41:06Christy
41:08England desperately looking for a turnover here
41:10Anything will do them
41:20Christy again
41:24Anton Lennart-Brown now on that experience
41:26That comes off that bench
41:28In Lennart-Brown and
41:30Bowden-Barrett
41:32And it's a penalty again to New Zealand
41:34It might be a whole lot more
41:36To lay a Fairbanks got stuck in again
41:42Barrett puts it in behind
41:44But all the time New Zealand have a penalty here
41:46And it's England
41:50Who would do anything for that
41:52Yeah it's Alex Coles with a no arms tackle
41:56You can
41:58Without being too cynical you can sort of get away
42:00With these chopped tackles as long as you raise
42:02Both and just look like you want to wrap
42:06But it's just obvious when you're
42:086'9 with a clean jersey
42:10And you're flying in with no arms
42:12Sort of kneecap level shin level
42:16It's just too easy a penalty for the ref to give
42:18At such a key moment
42:20You know what it's not the end of the world
42:22For England this is not about bonus points
42:24It's about
42:26Trying to get a win and they were not getting out
42:28Of their own half here if McKenzie kicks
42:30Three and England at least have that chance
42:32To contest
42:34The restart and maybe
42:36Just maybe have something inside the
42:38New Zealand half yeah McKenzie gets this
42:40England need to go and score a try right
42:42And it gives us a
42:44Fantastic finish to the game
42:46And if he doesn't get it England have got
42:48Two minutes to attack from their own try line
42:50So either way fabulous
42:52Two minutes
42:54Seriously competitive test match we're a couple of
42:56Minutes to the end we realistically
42:58Don't know who's going to win it
43:00Which is great news
43:02In terms of drama
43:04There's a lot of quality on show
43:06Both sides
43:08Defended pretty well I think
43:16He has taken
43:18Too long
43:20Damien
43:22McKenzie
43:24Has given England a chance it's still in
43:26Their own half but they will put into the scrum
43:30Amazing he seemed completely unaware
43:34There is an argument here that
43:36Some people think the referee should be warning
43:38Kickers how long they've got myself don't think
43:40It's their job but you'd imagine somebody
43:42On the New Zealand staff
43:44Whoever brings the tea on or the water on whatever
43:46Would keep Damien McKenzie abreast
43:48Of the shot clock
43:50Right
43:52Legs under
43:54Yeah you can see the referee looking at the
43:56Shot clock and Scott Robertson
43:58Is now
44:00Looking at the aftermath of that
44:02From his fly half
44:04And the possible
44:06Implications of it I agree
44:08It was great not to hear the referee
44:10Count it down it's not his job
44:12Players responsibility
44:14Two minutes from now
44:16Damien McKenzie's crying into his
44:18Muffin into it
44:20They've got all over Ben Spencer though and he's
44:22Got to release that
44:26And New Zealand were just tempted
44:30Into that lack of discipline that gives England
44:32The chance now
44:34To go much further upfield
44:36How brave is Finn Smith going to be here
44:40Well he knew he had to get his touch
44:42First and foremost
44:44This is it for England this is it
44:46This is the position you train from
44:48Every week all of your launch plays
44:50All of your mixed scenario
44:52Training
44:54What could happen lads we're in the last minute
44:56It's even Stevens we've got to score
44:58What's our play
45:00Everybody should know their roles here
45:02High drama super tight test match
45:04Ball one
45:06England have certainly spooked
45:08New Zealand you can see it there
45:10From the reaction of their new coach
45:12Scott Robertson can they now go on
45:16And win it
45:20In not getting the three
45:22Anything will do now
45:24For England
45:26Furback
45:28Mustn't get isolated
45:30And New Zealand have got to turn this ball over at some point
45:32But they can't get away penalty they've done it
45:34They've done it they've done it how in effect
45:36They've won the match that breakdown
45:38By and large they've bossed it
45:40They've bossed it
45:44It's going to be one of those where England
45:46Will look back
45:48And there were moments that they
45:50Will regret
45:52Although you know what they shouldn't dwell on it too much
45:54They should learn from it
45:56But there's been plenty here to suggest
45:58That it's game on next week as well
46:00But it's all about winners
46:02And the All Blacks
46:04Remain
46:06Well hard to beat anywhere but especially at home
46:08It's been a long wait for this
46:10Rugby mat country since
46:12That Rugby World Cup final defeat
46:14But with a new coach
46:16And a fresh start
46:18They have got that victory
46:20It is agony for England
46:22One point in it
46:24Memories of that close
46:26Encounter at Twickenham
46:28Not the draw two years ago but before that
46:30When England were so so close
46:32So close in Dunedin
46:34Tonight one point just like it was here
46:36All those years ago
46:38Ten years ago
46:40New Zealand have won
