...because pulling back to deep and defending has always worked
against the All Blacks...

Ridiculous, we looked a shadow of our former selves after Marcus
went off 🙄

Sadly also true for the front row, Fin and Cole both struggled.
All the fitness gambles bar Dombrandt were poor though, T Curry
was largely anonymous, Slade awful, and Ford had 3 big moments
that were all to England's detriment.
Such a shame that the idea of keeping the players who are good
enough to earn the lead is anathema. Smith has such a great
record at the death.

I think he's playing it because Ethan de Groot was naughty
during the week

That ending made me irrationally angry to the point of leaving
the house to save my poor family from me.
Why the changes (Ford). Why going the wrong way for the drop
goal off rucks. Why go for it from such poor service.
WHY?!?!??

It was a particularly daft end to the game. We did so well to
get back into the lead only to blow it 😥

The only "friendly" games in a Head Coaches' mind now are
BaaBaas and A-Team (and even the latter of those will have some
bearing on squad makeup etc...)

you guys keep saying this. Borthwick is allowed to pick the side
he wants. Always has been. Even if he wasn't, he's dropped the
best wine in the country. Freeman is the 4th best back 3 player
at his club.
Manny FW is the myth that keeps on mything. The idea that either
are picked ahead of Sleightholme.
And my mum is only a teensy weensy bit less dynamic than Henry
slade.

IFW always does extremely well for a myth. Possibly the best
myth for donkey's years.

Another “nearly nearly loss” but a loss all the same. Just not
enough quality when needed.
Might improve by getting rid of the likes of Slade. Also,
Freeman to 13 might be better as on the wing he’s basically
Freddie steward; decent under a high ball but little else end
product.
