Beauden Barrett making a huge difference to the ABs two weeks in a row. Perofeta has been good, but BB just brings so much control. I think he's earnt a start, possibly at 10 with DMac on the pine or shifting to 15.
In this series I think the ABs have been out coached, and for most of the match minutes outplayed. Razor's team showing all of their inexperience and not giving much confidence ahead of touring South Africa and the big games up north at the end of the year.
England have been growing, and second halves have both been won by ABs, so don't discount SA yet. BB was amazing off the bench too, such energy
Oh im not discounting SA, on the evidence of these two games I'm expecting them to sweep Razor's ABs this year. But, it's still early days and he hasn't had a lot of time with this team yet.
Did you catch the moment where a ruck had formed and one of the English players was doing the usual grab a leg to hold a player in, but it was Nic Berry! :)
Like a light switch. England had all the momentum at that point. Also props to Cortez what a time to come in on debut. Did the job.
Yeah he looked pretty composed and his service from the ruck was very Aaron Smith like.
