Sold out in Dunedin, sold out in Sydney wow rugby is alive and well 💪
...and sold out at Loftus in Pretoria for Boks vs Ireland
@@owenbullock2510 👍👍👍 go Boks
🏟️Loftus stadium also sold out 🇿🇦.
Only international games, crowds are woeful and getting worse. TV money the only thing keeping the game professional.
So much for rugby is dying nothing but full stadiums for test matches which are more important than club rugby
The physicality of this game was absolutely spot on!
Yeah man quite a few big hits!
@@TwoCentsRugbyhuuge! So intense
Love it mate
What a great battle. Congratulations New Zealand.
Epic edge of your seat game with No cards and TMO interference, best lve seen in a long long time! Well done All Blacks, congratulations England for staying in the fight!
Yeah how nice not to have many TMO stoppages!
Nicely reffed match - kudos to them
Great game. Congratulations New Zealand. Disappointed but proud of the England team. We go again next week!
You should be very excited about how your England team is looking. They're going to smash some teams over the next four years. Look forward to seeing another arm wrestle next week.
How to kick like Damain Mckenzie:
Step 1: Look at the ball
Step 2: Slowly look up at the posts
Step 3: Slowly look back at the ball
Step 4: Slowly look back at the posts (now with a small smile on your face, like a predator at a playground)
Step 5: Slowly look back at the ball, still smiling
Step 6: Take a step back to actually kick the ball
Step 7: If you haven't run out of time, kick the ball
Step 8: Miss
I know Fly-halfs have their kicking quirks, but man, I feel like Mckenzie needs to hurry up a bit there XD
Razor should say- no more waiting for the camera so you can smile for your fangirls , just make the kick.
The Felix ‘bring line speed’ Jones effect was evident
Thank you England 🇬🇧 for such a great test u guys played well very intense stuff and thats wat the fans want much respect 👊 incredible heart 🖤 ABs, go up a gear next week and send them home empty handed 2-0 🤲
England = 🏴 not this rag ! 🇬🇧
So quick onto the review! Keep it up 2cents haha
Thanks! Will do!
I do believe to counter the Englands rushing defence is not to go wide early but to play a Blues style of rugby. Vern Cotter has coached in the Northern Hemisphere so he has a fair Idea how they play.
The kicking game was the way to go.
England defence very solid but it softened with our kicking game pinning them back they gassed out towards the end never really looked threatening in the end
This is a great win to pick up for the ABs. England were always going to be a tough opposition to take on up first especially with a completely new coaching team, a new look ABs and less than 2 weeks to get all the new systems and game plans in place.
Now with this game behind them they can look on to build on top of this.
It's been noticed that the England team halftime analysis must be doing something right. They tend to come out better after halftime
Christie was way to slow clearing the ball and at one stage the ref said use it a few times and we lost the ball, terrible !
Man... Asafo Aumua made such a difference when he came on, been a fan of the guy for a long time.
That was so stupid playing in our own half in “extra time” of the first half. Barret, pj, McKenzie, etc should have called for the ball to be kicked out. Leadership group fail.
That was proper head in hands stuff aye
Completely agree. A pointless continuation especially with TJ hobbling.
Agreed
Agreed.. we know how important points before half time are but that wasn’t the time to go
Great analysis man. It was great to see BB come on and the style change when it was needed! One point is enough, good start to the year!
He had such great vision from 15 and I think Beauden really helped take pressure off Dmac.
This was the game that the ABs needed to see where they were at . An easy game would have told us nothing. Well played England.
Great game. As an England fan I have no complaints with the loss, I think the score and result are fair but both teams played some good if flawed rugby. Hope there aren't too many injuries. We go again
Brilliant review as always !
In the end, I think England will leave the happier side even though they lost, no one expected England to salvage a one point loss in New Zealand and in my opinion that is a big achievement. However Razor’s team has only been together for 10 days and England had basically a warmup match and have had Steve Borthwick for ages and NZ will get better in a week so I don’t think England will draw the series. Also the bench won the game for NZ, they had so much experience on that bench and throughout the game dominated the scrum, but their line out was ok. So in summary England has a positive to take away, but Razor’s team will grow and will win the series for NZ.
Yeah I think this one went much in a way it was predicted - with the ABs indeed having some rust, and England almost doing enough. If England's scrum improves next week they'll be in a better position for sure, but likewise the ABs will be looking to improve their lineout
Yep I think you nailed it 👍
Good analysis bruh...👌
@@TwoCentsRugbyand hopefully the ref will not allow AB shenanigans at the scrum (standing up, driving in and across)…checks notes….oh it’s an Australian ref…never mind…
Im pretty sure the team that actually wins is usually the "happier side" but hey I guess you guys do things differently.
Need to work on our kicks, Perofeta was amazing in his first start. Tempo went completely down when Christie came on. Otherwise, our forwards did alright to match Englands pack, still early days to work combos and rhythm, but we'll grow from here.
Yeah when TJ was on we were humming through the phases that's true
I thought this strange obsession with Christie would end when Foster was out.. Time to focus on other halfback talents
I hope TJ is ok, D Mac being timed out has always been on the cards
Yeah man bloody hell that looked brutal, hope he's ok
Yeah he fuks around too much
Doesn't the ref shout out when it's down to 10 seconds left ? I saw at Twickenham or Aviva stadium kick timer was on the screen facing each kicker, both sides. Maybe Eden park should have that too.
@sanjivat The ref did shout out something there but wasn't clear tho but mckenzie placed the ball on the T twice so he pretty much fuked around too long
@ManaBlack208 thanks mate. Another instance was when ref said 'use it' twice at Scrum and Finlay went left and Ardie kept ball at feet. Maybe they were expecting a Scrum penalty or Ardie did not hear.😊😊
Reckon we got a lot of homework to do, including our line outs. I'm glad to see our scrum doing well though, we will need that for the RC against the Boks.
Amazing game, so proud of how England are playing. I was so excited for this match and it didn’t disappoint at all. I really feel that we are building towards being a world beating team again. And when you’ve got the likes of Ireland, France, the ABs and the Bokkes also with world beating teams it makes for absolutely scintillating viewing!
Great game and congratulations to the ABs. As an Englishman I feel that was the game we could have and maybe should have won. ABs will be so much better next week and at Eden Park is not a good prospect for us.
Definitely a flip of a coin man, either side could have won it, and both would be disappointed to lose it given the chances/errors made
Rieko was off tonight - bring in proctor
Hey you never know on the day anything is possible hope for great test match,all the best to both teams
😅
Good review bud. Nice and clear. Keep it up man!
DMAC played well. Missed 2 from his tough side from side line and got timed out on another penalty.
But was solid under highball and was managing to break them up a bit.
Solid under the high ball and shifted the ball wide past the rush D at times aye
Yip, great under that high ball for the small guy in the team. Great heart. TJ played well for his minutes. A big fan of Finley but thought we lacked when he came on. Be great to see Cortez and Dmac in Auckland.
We loss the World Cup by 1 point so for me a wins a win, whether by 1 or 41. Congratulations England for a great contest and ABs win.
he also kicked quite a bit aimlessly. If he removes aimless kicks from regular play and fixes up his goal kicking he will be good
Razor must be fuming at DMac time out on penalty. Damien will learn😊😊
Curious if anyone has checked to see if the timeout was accurate and consistent with all the other kicks.
Dmac is such a gutsy player under that high ball That was an awesome display,so much courage for a small dude !
1st game of the international window,as expected,the All Blacks showed a bit of ring rust,good on the poms to keep it a tight grind...good game all round.
think the ref missed many offside line calls in loose play and mauls. the same can be said in the Welsh-Aussie game.where entire backline and forwards were over the break line time and time again.
This is the exact reason the rush D is working for NH sides. They get there in less than a second - because they don't start from behind the hind-most foot. It actually ruins the game because attacking teams cant make running backline moves. Time for NH Refs and officials to get real about the constant off side play of NH teams.
What a game. I think that's the type of game the AB's needed, a game that was hard and intense. Looking forward to next weekend, and see how they adapt to Englands rush defense.
I thought perofeta and sevu Reece were good , all blacks still need more from the centres it’s there biggest weakness at the moment , roigard also. Needed not convinced Finlay is test quality
Two teams going hard. I hope Perenara's knee is okay. That looked really nasty.
Not much in it but on balance the right result. Plenty for both teams to feel positive about, especially with some younger guys getting to show what they can do. Good stuff! Cheers for the content dude.
Let's just take in concentration here. England lost to the Boks last year with one point, they beat the Irish and have spent some time together this year.
It's a brand new coaching staff and new looking combo's who's been together for 10 days. They will only get better!
This is not an easy England team to play.
I think the expectations of many and the reality were two different things but we won and if we win all our games by one this year I'll take it
That was a proper test match. Goal kicking is so important in tight games
At leaett Kirwan got his wish, and the All Black's won with running Rugby, no, wait a minute........????
Just been facetious, I could not help myself, thank you for a good show as always. From a SA fan. 😊
JK is a clown. Razor said the all blacks will play the way they need to win test matches. If that means more kicking so be it.
lol kirwan is such a wanker!! Man how good does the rugby atmosphere look in sth Africa atm.. there was something special in the air at loftus
The English were playing mind games with their scrum. 1st scrum, no weight to hold against, no hit, that was Marler. At around the 60th minute, you can see babyface then resets his left foot when the ABs again went for the hit. When you dont know that there is no resistance or not the amount that they expect, the ABs go straight to ground. All their clean proper scrums, they folded them.
England defense were really offside a lot off the game. Where were the side line refs
The Aussie ref on the sideline are bias one-eyed cheats and were away with the fairies instead of enforcing the offside rules.
Dammmm that defensive line of England moved up quickly
It was like the ABs guys owed them money man
Felix Jones strikes again!
I'm sure Razor will have some counter play for line speed come next test
@@sanjivathe knew it was coming today lol if you think about it it was England who went in blind! England will have more of a game plan now imo
@@Karma-qt4ji you got that ryt and it works wonders 🎉
Brilliant test match, yes there were mistakes by both teams, but as a spectacle it was a great watch. I expect NZ to be better in the next 1, England will be pretty much the same, hopefully better of the tee. I think the biggest difference between the sides, is the bench, but in England were well aware of that, but just happy to have a team we can get behind.
Tough game! Was expected tbh
Happy to see the All Blacks come
away winners in the end! Plenty to
improve on! But you take the result
Best analysis I’ve heard of this game. You picked the key point in the game where BB came on and they changed their strategy to keeping Eng out of scoring territory and putting them under penalty pressure in their own half. It worked. Everyone else is talking about getting it wide, but against the Northern teams this comes after you get territory and ball pressure, not before. Razor has just named an essentially unchanged side with Christie promoted to starting with TJ out. Perhaps they think the same gameplan will work better after another week of training? Or will we see that box kick from the base of the scrum employed form the start to nullify the use of the rush defence?
Felt like a Fitzpatrick Era slobber knocker. Fantastic.
Great review great game cheers
What a great battle. Congrats New Zealand.
England definitely improving, too many scrum penalties though and generally second best at the breakdown.
We need to start producing some front rowers. The ceiling will remain limited as long as Marler, Cole and Stuart are the best props we can muster.
Fin Baxter looked great coming on for his first cap. Genge is getting better and better. It’s tighthead that’ve got zero depth.
There are some very promising young tight heads at the moment in England like Halliwell, Sela and Fasogbon. The problem is that tight heads peak at about 30.
@@BertFlashman Yeh I like Halliwell, playing well for the U20s. Can Dan Cole hold on for another 10 years….?
Great test.
Great to see
Man Dmac looks good 💪🏽.. tidy up the kicks and we on
A good win for a first up game and a new coach against a strong english side that beat Ireland and only lost to SA by 1 but the amount of times the ABs dropped the ball on attack was frustrating definately rusty will be a lot better next week
Disappointed with the loss, all those missed kicked off the T proved critical in the end.
Thought England broadly played well but really disappointed from the bench contributions. NZ bench on the other hand really carried that over the line with a very mature last 10mins. Beauden is worth his weight in gold.
Happy to see Fin Baxter look the part on the international front and Furbank and Martin keeping good form.
Not scoring more points than NZ proved extremely critical -in the end
@@kelbatt7729 yes because try scoring opportunities dried up for both sides in the last quarter and in some games it doesn't matter if your kicker is shite but in this game it very much did. Do you understand now?
NZ missed just as many kicks and a timeout.
Glad to see 2cents have a smile!! Thats how it feels to win with 1 point. Its a win!! From 🇿🇦 😅Congrats to our great foe and the rest of the Southern Hemesphere teams except the Argies. 🇼🇸 🇫🇯 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 🇿🇦 Next time 🇦🇷 #Samoarugby #Fijirugby #AllBlacks #Wallabies #Springboks #LosPumas
Nice feeling of relief to win by a point! Watch this English team over the next few years while they build dept.
Drop Ioane & Taylor for Proctor & Aumua
Spot on
After 1 game? No thanks!
@@aitulegendvt8494 Reiko has had far more than 1 bad game at 13. He needs to go back to wing he is no where near international quality 13.
Taylor had a strong game!
Nah, Taylor is great. Brings good leadership and experience to the team, too. Don't mind Ioane being swapped - he might be good off the bench.
The rushing D. You cannot go around that. The Blues learned that. Need to rumble smart up the guts. Short passing and quick breakdown. Earn the right to go wide. Side to side is pointless.
That has to change.
... long passing is asking for trouble, in a game like that. To the very outside... yeah ok.
So agree @marksharman8029 Kept waiting for “…new era in rugby…” Nothing new tonight and lucky to get the win
A fantastic game 😊
Well done ABs, this is a very good England side.
First and foremost congratulations to New Zealand you continue to show the world how difficult you are to beat particularly after little prep time and a new manager.
I do come away from that game as an Englishman feeling positive, if anything we showed that what we saw at the end of the six nations wasn’t a one off but a team building nicely under Borthwick.
Our bench is a bit of a concern at the moment but happy none the less.
🏉 🏉
England looks awesome, especially being at the back end of the season. They'll keep getting better and freak some teams out.
Very far from a classic match, but a win is a win. Goalkicking was terrible from both teams. England played their now signature aggressive defense and sporadic attack. Contebt to boot the ball away and tackle themselves to a standstill, they showed so little invention it became debatable whether they even wanted to score any tries. Razor's lack of international experience showed through all game: the ABs played like a Super Rugby team, with naive tactics in possession, a scrappy lineout, and were often disorganized on defence. They went wide-to-wide repeadtedly, with little variation or structure and seldom made any real progress, resorting to hopeful punts in the face of England's rush defence. They were skittish in possession and coughed up an amazing number of handling errors. Luckily England seemed content to punt it back to them more often than not. Bright spots for NZ included a strong scrum, and the individual work of Reece, Telea and Jordie Barrett. Perofeta ran some cute lines but he has no tactical brain. D-Mac had a very average day at the office, pretty much all round. All in all, its a first up victory for the new coach but let's be honest: if this was Fozzie's first game post-World Cup, the comments would be screaming for his head on a stick.
Agreed. The organization, and some of the strategy and tactics were a bit iffy - though credit to England as their aggressive play didn't give NZ an easy ride. Will be curious how the coaches and team leaders respond with a week to analyse and prepare. We don't have the measure of the new coaching group yet - though Ryan has obviously proved himself as an assistant at the international level. I maintain that NZ's challenge is primarily structural (not Ian Foster or any other coach), with their leadership mishandling the SA relationship, giving them an easy out, and depriving young NZ players regular challenges vs the South Africans (or other comparable opponents).
A year ago England was all gloom and doom with sportsters decrying it all and demanding change.......etc. However, England seemed to have overperformed in the WC and then Beat Ireland in 6 Nations. This test in Kiwiland displayed the light draw was not a fluke and did rather well. The defense has kicked on and will improve. England to nab the next 6 Nations?
Either side could’ve won it but England will see that as one that got away. Onto the next test.
Yeah it was there for sure - if a few things go another way
Absolutely agree. Both had their moments - Overall England have one mighty strong top team … Great first up test for both
Foster was an it seems an unlucky coach as is the current crusader coach the tight games go the other way but razor seems to be a lucky coach and gets the breaks
A win is a win
Good to get the win first one of the year now we can start playing new zealand rugby
What a test match England ❤ yous come too play ❤ gud luck next week England go the AB's ❤
Yeah proper test!
England front row let them down and the ABs did great, especially in the second half. Well done Scott Barrett, led from the front.
England had the chance to win here in Dunedin, now its going to be a real struggle in the house of pain at Eden Park, Auckland.
Close game bro, good England team, see you next week 👍
Can't wait!
@@TwoCentsRugby 👍👍👍
First game always gonna be a little more nerves on both sides but what a game
Dmac was unbelievable! I doubted him before the match & I am the first to admit I was wrong. He really has come of age & matured with the composure of a seasoned veteran. He has arrived! Well done Dmac, All Blacks & Scott Robertson! England you were gallant & unlucky in defeat. Could have gone either way.
Your absolutely right, Dmac had a great game. So good under the highball and that cross kick to set up the first try was amazing!
Got bullied a bit? Asofa aumua made a huge impact really impressed with his carries
He's a proper unit aye
@@TwoCentsRugby proper all right bro.
Disappointed from an England view.
Left so many points out there to win the game why i think Finn smith starts in Auckland Marcus off the Bench.
ABs dominated at the breakdown which was a surprise tbh, proud of the performance from the boys but a rusty looking NZ will get better as they adapt to life under Razor
Yeah the rust was there for sure. I think the ABs lineout will be better next week. That being said England gave them such a hurry up - it'll be a cracker
I can understand your disappointment, however England were real solid. England kept the pressure on ABs for most of game. ABs had to fight for every metre. You have a young team, and they can only get better. So close…could have gone either way
I thought England dominated the Breakdown. Their ball was quick. Itoje was a real nuisance on ABs ball. If your cleaner can't hold his feet, he has a great ability to reach over
Interested to see how the AB's grow from here, and the product that trots out onto the field against the boks.
As an England fan I maintain disappointment simply in the fact that we have 2 very mediocre front rows. We aint going to challenge you guys or the Boks unless we can resolve that.
Like a bunch of Drunks trying to catch an imaginary balloon from the line out
I love your content more than the talking heads on Sky
he gets a load of hate for it, but barrett's kicking from full back is so valuable at test level
Yeah changed the way the ABs played the game aye
I think England will be kicking themselves. They looked clueless in the 2nd half. NZ will be better next week, so this was their best chance to win. 2-0 looking very likely.
At times felt like I was watching a super rugby game, a bit of overplay by NZ at times.
England started the second well aye, but ended up camped in their half a bit
@@TwoCentsRugby agree - Ben Spencer too ponderous trying to protect at that stage a 1 point lead. Can’t do that against NZ at home. Maul penalty was just daft too, needed Mitchell whipping it away from the base ASAP. Smith and Slade will rue not sorting the kicking duties out. As I’m sure McKenzie will not be happy with his boot either today - tight stuff, proper physical Test! Roll on the next !
Yeah I think Mitchell had the team humming - he might need to play 70 odd next week
I expect ABs to improve next week. They done enough to win , playing for the first time since WC final I think they did well. It’s not that long ago England were telling us all they were beaten by Fiji because they were under a new coach in transition.
Yeah I think there has to be improvement from the ABs. That being said I'm pretty sure England had a good run with England when he first took them over - so it's not always the case that there are teething issues aye
I think losing your 9/10 and your 2 most experienced locks piled it on too
Well played all blacks very two different styles going on there but nice to know it was this close onto the next game we will definitely get you next time 🏴🤜🏻🤛🏻🇳🇿
Next week gonna be interesting mate! Shame it's not 3 games!
@@TwoCentsRugbysort if three if we count the end of year!
Just caught the highlights. Didn't understand M Smith decision to send the ball to the wing on 47 when he could have walked over basically unopposed and had a much easier conversion attempt.
Now we know how NZ are going to play next week but with the dust shook off. Gutted to lose and liked the way the game flowed but felt the 50/50s just didn't go our way this time. Proud Englishman.
Yeah, bloody close. I think the AB's had the edge at the end by keeping the ball tight and up your end of the field. One penalty or drop goal would have changed the result.
@@keevee09 agreed, we looked a bit toothless when our sub halfs came on although I would like to see our younger 10, Finn, have a start next week. He's more in the mould of George Ford and there were a few times Marcus cut back in instead of distributing to our killers on the wing. We'll see! Enjoy the win. Many years since I was in Dunedin but I imagine the bars will be rocking (if only to escape the rain! ;-)
Just a fabulous game. Not perfect Rugby but super intense and decided by very fine margins. Hope TJ is ok. Roll on next week. Thanks for the review.
Squeaky win for the AB's, what were they doing just before the first half ended! Luckily it cost just 3 points, work to do!
Jeepers man letting the kick go to waste would have haunted Dmac if it'd cost the game!
My view England had their best chance of beating the All Blacks in the first test match now the All Blacks have won the first test match there up and running my prediction for the second test match is a big All Blacks victory 🏉🏉🧐🏴
Not sure, I reckon England will be just as fecking hard to beat in the next game. They don't look like they'll be rolling over for anyone.
You predicted a big first game victory as well..........
We won. That’s cool. However, we looked average at the breakdown plus when Christie came on he made us look slow and ponderous.
Boks and all blacks with the wins 👍
The game was an epic contest.. England will need to lift in the second test
Need more smarts and distribution at 13. Bring in Proctor and put Reiko on the wing.
Reiko needs to feel his position in the XV is threatened. Too much bravado and no enough brains.
All blacks never replaced nonu and smith
Rieko is a game breaker and special talent. Jordie and Rieko are a good centre pairing!
@@aitulegendvt8494. Sorry but jordie is not as good as nonu was or sbw ,
@@alexcollins2938 He's a shit load better than SBW ever was SBW was never any better than a impact player.
Hey there two cents...
Have you heard Steve Coles and his Rugby and Rugby league Collection NZ Facebook Page ?
He interviews lots of past All Black's and NZ Kiwi's...
AB fans were expecting the new Razor team to win by 30 points lol.
early days lads
Newell needs to start next week- Lomax is not a great scrummager and if Marler is fit he'll be all over him.
Amua also needs to start- Taylor's line out throwing is woeful and Amua is spot on and carries the ball up like a charging rhino!
I'm a big fan of Perofeta, but think England will try the same game plan and Beaudy's the man to keep us out of our 22.
When Perofeta was still on the field, no idea why they didn't give him a go with the kicking tee - he's made some good kicks for the Blues this season and couldn't have done any worse than D- Mac (doesn’t waste as much time for a start!)
You were lucky 😉
Dmac High ball Taking is Another Level Today and Short and Long Passes done by Dmac Excelent ❤🔥🖤
Yeah we knew it was coming and he took those high balls really well!
Great rugby weekend tbh. AB’s need to get better, I was really surprised at how good the English played the entire game. We would usually see a lapse in their game for a quarter or so but man they showed up. And poor tj man. I hope he’s good. Led and epic haka, played a good game too hope he’s good
Best team edged it. I think England will be a little disappointed, they had a shot at this one and didn't fully click in attack and left some points out there.
Expect an improved ABs next week and can we live with that... We will see.
Similar defence in 2019 wc from England?
Yeah was definitely looking to keep the carriers under pressure. ABs passing deep to negate it at times aye
That was a close shave!! Why you give away hard won possession with aimless kicking remains a mystery to me.
Same scoreline as their last win over England, in 2018
How do you adapt and beat lightning line speed like that? Pleased with the win. Will this English line speed be a factor in the 2nd Test?
Need to beat your man 1v1 either with footwork or a hidden wrap around runner hit short.. if you can do that they are all up past the ball and exposed.
In my opinion there is a couple ways to play against rush defence.
1. Go through it - be direct off 9 short passes and direct and pick and go’s
2. Box kick the shit out of the ball . Literally play no rugby give the opposition nothing to hit , extremely effective but most people would say absolute boring rugby.
3. Swing side to side , cross kicks galore, go side to side and take the opportunity to stretch them. The bulls implemented this tactic against Jaques nienaber Leinster rush d and it really really troubled them and won the Bulls the game.
@@murraysmith595 Thanks mate!
@@danstancombe3806 Thanks mate. I hope the All Blacks will adapt. Because, if it wasn't for that type of line defence we would have scored more than 40 points.
Some confusing calls by the ref.
