00:00In their own backyard. Time to find out and hand you over to your commentators, but this one it is David Flattman and Miles Harrison. Good morning, gents
00:10Thank you Anna, good morning once again everyone
00:13England have used the week to get ready for this second chance
00:17To make it a tour to remember but this team knows that the All Blacks should be better after that first run out of their year
00:25And the home team also have this comfort blanket
00:28Of being here
00:30At Eden Park. Well England making the one change in the pack that foot injury to Joe Mahler. Finn Baxter
00:36Comes in from the start having come on last week early on George Martin been getting rave reviews in New Zealand
00:43They like what they see
00:45And Chandler Cunningham South who was not an unknown here, of course with his New Zealand upbringing. They like him, too
00:52Alex Mitchell continues at scrum half his kicking game to the fall last week
00:57And Henry Slade also a key component of that part of England's skill set
01:02And Freddie Stewart back in the number 15 jersey because of that back spasm for George Furbank. He hoped his chance would come
01:10And here it is
01:13And you feel that Tom Curry
01:15Another key member of the squad if England are to get over the line today
01:20Should also say that Bevan Rodd comes onto that bench and Dan Cole will at some stage this evening become England's most capped forward
01:28Well, New Zealand keep the same pack, which means Ethan de Groot will be under the spotlight
01:34Much debate about the legality of his performance last week
01:38Patrick Tupelotu back where he performed so heroically for the Auckland Blues
01:43Samu Penefinau of the Chiefs not a winner on that final day
01:46But he's some talent. The one change for the All Blacks is in their backs where Finlay Christie steps up for the injured T.J
01:53Peronara, Jordie Barrett is again vice captain to his brother Scott
01:58And at fullback Stephen Perrafetta
02:01One of the six blues on their home patch. So an extra special day for him
02:07Also for Cortez Rautima the only player from either side in line for a debut today
02:14Well, the weather has been good by day in Auckland all week
02:17There might be a little dew on the grass as the night
02:22Goes on but considering it is midwinter
02:26There can't be any complaints
02:31And England have certainly had excellent training conditions to help get any lingering negatives
02:38out of their system
02:40Out of their system
02:43And may it feel
02:45They have much more to give and show before they go home for a well-earned rest
02:50at the end of a long season
02:52Ireland two years ago came from behind in New Zealand in that three-match series. So to the British and Irish Lions in 2017
03:00Can England make it one all here today?
03:04It would provide further evidence of their progress
03:07And also give them a moment to savor
03:10In the country's rugby history
03:17So close last week wasn't it so tight
03:20Can't see it being much different today. Really can't say there being much in it
03:24It's an occasion full of meaning and history and ambition
03:27I do think it could be a fascinating case study in pressure management actually
03:32How will England manage the breakdown where they got beaten up a bit beaten to the ball a bit last week?
03:37How will they handle that big New Zealand scrum?
03:39Especially without Joe Mala
03:41How will the All Blacks themselves handle all the expectation that comes from playing in that jersey?
03:46At this ground a ground at which they apparently can't lose subplots everywhere
03:50You look there's every chance in the world. This could be a very very special day indeed. Cannot wait
03:57Yes, what a record New Zealand have here
04:0030 years
04:02Since they last lost on this ground
04:04But it's 10 years since England have been here and they pushed the All Blacks close that day
04:11The home public certainly wanted to be at less knife edge than that and last week, too
04:19Damian McKenzie will again be a key man
04:24The fly half
04:28As the crowd will also want to see their team express themselves
04:33In the way to which they have become accustomed
04:37Auckland Blues have shown some of that all black magic on this
04:41Ground this season now the nation's main men
04:44Looking to do the same if you are able
04:46Would you please be upstanding and join us in the singing of the England and New Zealand national anthems?

11:11an australian damon murphy an assistant as is frenchman pierre brussais who was in charge of
11:16last week's test in sydney featuring australia and wales and the whistle to start the game
11:22tonight the one used in 1925 when these two countries met and at the paris olympics final
11:31in 1924 a little nod to history
11:39good nick actually the whistle
11:42hope someone gave it a wipe
11:46so
11:51new zealand and england to get the day started one point the difference in dunedin
11:58both sides can point to various ifs buts and maybes and how it could well have played out
12:05differently let england know that they have this second go to make sure they go home without any
12:12regrets victory here and they go home full of smiles having done what no other team has done
12:21for 30 years tell you what cracking take at the restart from scott barrett under
12:27loads of pressure from england good kick good chase that's a good exit from new zealand
12:32foreign
12:44harlequin's teammate marcus smith trying to get the back line moving
12:49tommy freeman popping up on the right despite wearing the number 11 jersey
12:54side from earth
12:58gone south there finley christie wasn't on his own in that tackle but jeez he put his shoulder in
13:04the night and the carry from up to halfway mckenzie again he'll look for that whip
13:12it's time with the boots freddie stewart goes back he's got a big boot
13:17we might not get a chance to use it now though
13:20there were both those there lawrence is there falls to underhill and earl says okay if it opens
13:26up i'll take it on that support inside he opted for the kick as well geordie barrett
13:34to mckenzie and here's to lay up and it's opening up right from the start
13:39underhill follows up with a tackle then and a penalty awarded by the referee
13:47white white what a start what a shot from cody taylor and finley christie on cunningham south
13:53what a kick from mckenzie you think freddie stewart just ran out of space the kick was so
13:59good he had nowhere to go couldn't get it away the counter up from new zealand was too good
14:04they went over the ball past the ball sam underhill super aware frenetic start really
14:11high quality amara toji as nick berry said the referee just not supporting his own body weight
14:16of that breakdown there's a lot of body weight to support got to get the detail right and that was
14:22one of england's big issues last week breakdown in scrum is where the immediate focus went
14:30new zealand line out wasn't perfect last week interesting to see them start with that nobody
14:34going up it's not so much a trick play as a get out really a check out of the front
14:38nice and safe just get the ball one bank it early on that's not so hot
14:48what was that from palafetta on to uh to lie good pressure from england
14:52ferroboso you can see slade was up there as well saw how last week he led that defensive line henry
14:59slade
15:07less than brilliant from new zealand that hasn't gone to plan at all but keep your eye on manny
15:11fey with bozo stays in the fight chases hard very good pressure from england horrible pass from
15:18geordie barrett the bad pass from one of the best players in the world you'd imagine he'll move past
15:25keep the brakes don't think we'll be too good there's a half decent chance he'll come good in
15:31the end the boy barrett all three brothers involved in the 23 again today bowden on the bench
15:44here we go then first fine engagement here
15:48big chef came on certainly disrupted it as far as any of the concern no one at
16:05stromhoff backs is going to have to do the job
16:12mary's mitchell now back in post
16:14stewart
16:20quietly gets on with his work
16:22marcus smith drop goal attempt
16:30perra feta counter-attack attempt nice in the end found the space
16:39to layer he'll always find the ball so hungry so busy christie
16:46pop up there inviting and then on to the ball
16:52they start with christie since last august
17:00going for the box kick and stewart doesn't make the captain that's a rarity
17:05he'll be annoyed by that of course such a strong suit of his mackenzie where's this one going to
17:12jamie george got a hand on it but that's all and then mackenzie sees barrett come
17:17and that is beautifully done and taylor can shift he's going to need help got the ball out
17:24and he has gone forward and england just survived that
17:31i tell you what england finished with a scramble cody taylor couldn't quite get the ball wide to
17:35reese it was a difficult pass and he saw it last second
17:41perra feta you could say it's a confident counter-attack i don't think there was much
17:46room to do anything else actually new zealand moving the ball off the deck so quickly
17:51nice bounce but there's nothing lucky about this class great line from barrett
17:55lovely late ball from mackenzie taylor just couldn't quite get this pass away england
18:00scrambling in their own 22 and 20 seconds before that they were scrambling in the new zealand 22
18:06tommy freeman plaudits there he was the one who got back so he's sure he's the winger but
18:11had to be done still got to do it
18:16nick berry saying that's the last scrub took an age let's crack on shall we
18:21three more tell you what that first scrum england was scrambling then to new zealand
18:28properly came for them degroot stayed in as well didn't they stayed in on this loose head side
18:33ethan degroot we don't want to see his head well england might want to see it he might win a penalty
18:37but he wants his head to stick in there underneath the chest of wills to not pop out the side
18:43all three is having a good look at it right over the potential emerging situation
18:49foreign
19:04smith ships it on to slade he'll steal it now he can use that big boot of his
19:09now
19:25as you'd expect from him
19:29very nicely done do you know what's so nicely done really confident very very classy from marcus
19:36and actually it's little episodes like that little involvements like that
19:39that give the rest of the team confidence it actually cools everyone down and says well
19:43we got some nice touches too we've weathered a couple of storms his first seven minutes
19:47that was nice had a bad day on here kicking two last week but it was noted in the england camp
19:53how he reacted to those negatives didn't let it phase him still played his game
20:06knock on your line out so england will put in another scrub
20:15again not smooth new zealand you see charlie cunning himself grabs hold
20:19of patrick to pollute to and pulls him through the line out which actually
20:23he's not expecting he's expecting charlie he's expecting the england players to try and smash
20:26him backwards as a lifter he actually gets pulled through knocks the ball on
20:31just a little bit of detail from england that suggests that steve borthwick's been
20:35concentrating a bit more on line out defense this week
20:39pulling lifters through instead of driving them back did the job
20:51which was shaking to put it into the second row it goes down that is a penalty
20:56there's will stewart new zealand what they're doing is they're painting a picture at the moment
21:06of being the aggressive team they've been the most aggressive team in the first three scrums
21:11and what that means they've gone for will stewart there and will stewart for me he responded by
21:15aiming putting all his power almost between the kneecaps of ethan de groot and that's heading
21:20towards the ground therefore so for me that looked like the right call well we both noted
21:24didn't we scott robertson the new zealand coach in his pre-match interview with ricky editing
21:29himself and saying we'll try to be no we will be dominant we will be dominant yeah
21:36and they're going for england already okay but you guys that's too big a gap okay
21:42so just come up a little bit please keep coming it's a meter gap keep coming
21:46why don't you step off with your front at the back step off he's working with jason ryan
21:50free kick
22:01he's got the numbers wrong got the numbers wrong but i tell you what new zealand don't look
22:05comfortable at line out time got away with that because england infringed a bit technically
22:11loads of verbals guys keep going right look there's no strength in the free kick now
22:18and it's not an option but new zealand certainly tap and go here
22:26you've got the likes of adi sarvia
22:30that's a great option to piloto
22:33excuse me survivor of the game 10 years ago
22:41he's on the bench here's rico uani almost creating a little bit of space there for his callback
22:47and he's winging he did
22:57always busy
23:03okay thanks mario i know what you're saying new zealand score first in their fortress where they
23:11feel so secure and there was a lot of certainty about this try this is where the damage was done
23:17absolutely no right no physical right to walk through that many defenders and make that much
23:23ground just ridiculous power and mindset and this is the second time mark talaya has got the ball
23:29off the deck so quick that england can't quite keep up and he's a winger this time he's on his
23:33wing sure but he's in at the breakdown great poaching for me england don't get the numbers
23:38around the blind side in time he'll just check his feet see if he's in touch yet tries all clear
23:44i don't start the shot clock till he's started his approach
23:52he gets the ball down in the end just keep an eye on his feet before he does
24:02actually some finish that isn't it
24:08brent connon the television match official is happy
24:13and there's a smile there from kiki mackenzie let's see if he's smiling after it
24:18he likes it yes he will and they win in the stats too impressive start of the set piece to set it up
24:27and then as you say david that's charge from salvia worth a try in itself and then the finish
24:37well england are on the back foot from that salvia carry
24:40defenders being sucked in did a lot of damage that
24:47time score atelier scored
24:53his seventh international try there
25:00there's that stat from last week defenders beaten he was top of that list
25:04i think he beat 11 in the match he knows since his own individual counts at the world cup of 14
25:12in one match at international level
25:18clear and obvious danger for england
25:23himself size then there and here is steward that's a nice little
25:28break through into the space to find freeman
25:33as baxter as england look to come back
25:37i haven't really been able to get in the game what about marcus smith and this kick towards
25:41manny farewiboso that could be right in it now they are what a step
25:49he couldn't stop the try at the other end
25:54despite a brave effort but he could certainly score
26:01again for england in the first test now in the second he scored in japan
26:06talk about being made for international rugby well this man certainly is and proves it again
26:15really good incursion from freddie stewart dominant contact from tommy freeman
26:19then marcus smith that is perfect it's perfect new zealand weren't even that narrow not really
26:28not really they had two-on-one but marcus smith knew if i can get manny farewiboso
26:35just a bit of space the blokes of weapon he'll score fantastic from england on the money
26:42great variation took the all blacks by surprise that is how you answer back to
26:47the talia try fantastic what a quarter of an hour we've had bodes well isn't it doesn't it
26:55and this is perfect for smith just to get one easy one it's your first one he deserves it
27:03because he created with that crossfield kick absolutely on the money full bulging wallet
27:13i mean i suppose they were narrow new zealand but
27:17it's all very well there being space out there you still got to execute something that puts
27:22the defense under pressure england just cut them in half that man and his mate marcus smith
27:28two young blokes doing fantastic things on the big stage
27:36and that will be new zealand ball and we can get another look at this line out which
27:41it's been a little bit shaky thus far
27:43two lines in the new zealand media about possible change at hooker
27:56by cody taylor when he's eight to seventh cap brings so much experience but
28:02brings so much and it's got to start working with the throwing in for new zealand otherwise there
28:07will be a change at some point here's ben earl on the charge now smith again
28:16i'll be lauren sets up
28:19nick and stewart was going to ground even before he took the contact not exactly what he wanted there
28:30which you're looking for try score a fair rebosa again but perafet has done really well to come
28:34through all of those bodies to claim that
28:41savira again baxter trying to stop that leg drive at source
28:50see now
28:52so
29:07take from stewart
29:13baxter first receiver again getting through that workload once more
29:18marcus smith tries a little dink in behind
29:24decent bit of pressure from england min baxter showing up both sides of the ball effectively
29:28and with power you see in line out now they try to go simple under pressure they try to
29:33go to the front england nicked it toji nicked it last time
29:38unfortunately the most simple options are often the easiest ones to cover for the defense
29:43push through there
29:49steward once more takes them on physically it's dalton
29:55post-match meal
29:59the work has got through already here's mckenzie
30:04oh look at that swivels out and gives it to tolayo that's lovely offloading from
30:09the back of the net
30:10from baxter's post-match meal
30:15work has got through already here's mckenzie
30:19oh look at that swivels out and gives it to tolayo that's lovely offloading from both of
30:25them paraphernalia can go either way you'll go to tolayo and it goes back inside and brilliant
30:30from marcus smith he saved it never gave it up showed his speed stayed in touch the offloading
30:38mesmeric but it didn't draw smith in
30:43both fly halves instrumental damian mckenzie in slow-mo doesn't quite have the same impact
30:48as soon as he caught that ball he flew out the blocks as quick as he could to take england by
30:53surprise set it all off and marcus smith did brilliantly the ball realistically shouldn't
30:58have gone outside to tell air it should have gone back inside but it didn't marcus smith
31:04fought his way back both tens fabulous work try all day long inside isn't it
31:15big scrum now
31:19jamie george doesn't seem he's not the type to pretend he's hurt when he's not
31:24but it won't hurt for england to just gather themselves
31:26for a minute here before a very big scrum they've got a ball to worry about getting put in of course
31:37i think the referee was checking their head just to make sure that
31:41george wasn't swinging it there the
31:44king and captain but he said no look at me i need help tough old goose
31:50it was quite important this for england just to take
31:57okay guys let's find out a little breather here it's going to come straight back at them
32:02and george in particular as part of that front row the skipper
32:07but they rather don't have a ball to worry about so they can
32:11they can actually concentrate on all that attack but just keep your eyes on
32:15the back row there's that horrible balance they've got a strike between giving enough
32:20weight to their front five who've been under a bit of pressure so far you'd expect new zealand
32:24to bring it they also don't want to be late off if the ball gets moved
32:36you may be seething having missed the chance down goes the scrum again out comes the referee's arm
32:42mitchell got an arm in which was important to at least prevent it seems the attack from
32:47building but mcberry's happy to let it go and so he should because new zealand still have it
32:54even from here they will feel they still have chances
33:01he's all fired up tonight he's all fired up every night to be fair now mckenzie goes crossfield
33:06where's this one bouncing he's bouncing away from severice in the end
33:11steward was worried he needed the help of the bounce
33:19we got one and 15 and about midfield about the same distance out of here
33:30okay sure we got two penalties there one at the scrum
33:33and then 10 off for cranking cranking yeah tight tip yes okay from the second one your
33:3910s come offside from the scrum and then another one general play that one's offside
33:50how easy is the kick i suppose scott barrett wants to know what's he turning down potentially
33:54right it's back over here penalty options but he was drawn to the one in the corner
33:58i can't know he's going for a shot i think i'll take a shot but it might be a chance possibly to
34:08drive over but of course the line out's not been firing up at the moment and as david mckenzie
34:13gets ready we'll head back to the studio to get the initial impressions of world dreamer will
34:18thanks miles we're just talking about that break that mckenzie set up on the counter-attack
34:23and you look you talked about new zealand butchering it what's freddie stewart come
34:27screen left stays inside the ball patient patient and then accelerates away it's brilliant defending
34:34from a fullback to force new zealand to make the decision and under pressure people make bad
34:39decisions great spot thanks will inside ball might have worked but freddie stewart six five
34:48long arms maybe the ball wasn't on
34:50i think they're not hanging around with the restart and it's ended up being quite a
34:59useful one
35:21trying the ball talked about the view
35:29everyone's shouting at him and he fires the ball to
35:35but it's just not working even when they
35:38gain clean possession at the line out new zealand can't do anything with it well good clean ball
35:44in the air but as he hits the deck maratogi gets hold of two peloton yanks him through
35:48have a look at this gets a really good sack lets him land arms are on before he lands but
35:53we're splitting hairs if you think he's going to be penalized for that he's not
35:57and actually the lifters are left behind what they need to do when you lift that player in the air
36:02when he's on the way down you need to almost get past him before he hits the deck so that it's og
36:08can't get his hands all the way around him and pull him back but his lifters left him a bit
36:11isolated bit loose on the drill itoji sacked him really like new zealand's reaction to it
36:18seen sides screaming for that demanding a penalty okay to the left of it
36:23two peloton's facing fair game i do it you do it you timed it well enough no head on head please
36:28go down into the slot on the outside good sack and it's not the jumper's job to resist the sack
36:34it's the lifters job once the lift is done
36:36get it out the way get the manager
36:44crouch
36:48fine
36:55what can i do from here they need the platform yeah i can see
36:59because of the quick restart this we live in this position of some promise
37:17steward 28 consecutive internationals after his debut he was that much of a permanent fixture
37:29keep your brake fade on keep them on longer
37:34six foot five over 100 kgs to use it here potentially
37:41fine
37:47steady working there with his prop in front just making sure
37:52that's a setup play looking sharp from england wasn't it you're right that quick restart put
38:11them in the position the scrum was rock solid everything working nicely good channel one ball
38:17out the back last one's better skill errors okay guys wind up wind up
38:30oh yeah yeah of course
38:33he described the super rugby pacific title is more important to him than winning a rugby world cup
38:42some statement crouch
38:44it's coming on again from new zealand here now the call from the referee
39:02england have done enough of the side of the boot from parafetta
39:08nice clean exit from new zealand but england did well actually
39:11to resist on that scrum just saw ethan de groot on new zealand lucid just starting to work around
39:16the outside again when he tries to go straight through will stewart so far he's not getting
39:20a huge amount of joy he slips around the outside he risk getting pinged again
39:29new zealand getting into the england line out there almost
39:32lost slip from ben earl
39:38great damage done
39:41lawrence make sure of that one stewart carries rolls it back to mitchell can he
39:48get their big power game going here
39:58smith going mitchell's located it was coming back this way keeping everyone thinking
40:03freddie stewart's on his own and he slipped as well
40:12and himself stopped once more
40:16the toge good offload in a very tight spot there's marcus smith again that's a lovely line
40:22from lawrence smith oh and it might still work because there's another slip
40:30jordy barrett the latest player to go down some handling errors some missed throws
40:39i'm going to presume there's quite a lot of view on that ball now
40:52christie clears this time
40:53it does look slippy out there doesn't it a bit of speculative attack from england as marcus
41:00smith switch right to left to right again and left steward a little bit isolated
41:04with that ball over the top but then it was more direct then it was ollie lawrence hitting a nice
41:08line those little chip throughs chips through that almost caused a problem caused half a problem
41:15at the front i want you two minutes back please if you're
41:19england capped out in the new zealand third at the moment the home side unable to get out for now
41:28smith earl bounces off lawrence didn't have much chance that time severice is that advantage over
41:37well organized aggressive defense good connection from new zealand in the midfield
41:42never quite felt on that ball from earl to lawrence but actually it's rico uani steps up
41:50and gets in the way good defense from the outside center but actually it's rico uani
41:59steps up and gets in the way good defense from the outside center but actually if that's
42:07a millimeter further either way or if rico uani's a millisecond late
42:11that's how you make those breaks through the middle worth pushing it may not have been off
42:15lawrence in fact before you contact him please it's a penalty at the line out so
42:27at the moment scrum new zealand line out england
42:35yeah that's a judgment call on me
42:57matches back to the world cup semi-final of course and before that the world cup
43:08as henry slade can they be on the right side of the result
43:12or even top
43:16no guys he's almost got that there's no no advantage from the black knock on in the line out
43:24ambitious stuff from england at the line out sending a pod effectively
43:27even if it was lifted okay effectively running front to back
43:34if new zealand do a half decent job of tracking that which they did and get off the ground with
43:38somebody long and strong and that throw has got to be that new zealand quick across the ground
43:43that throw has got to be perfect new zealand defended that so well i reckon there ain't
43:47a throw that gets there cleanly to england england are lucky because they've knocked it on new zealand
43:51but the idea is that pod england pod runs into space but new zealand tracked them too quick
43:59here we go off the fingers of barrett
44:03crouch picked up with a paint off the turf to give himself an aging streak
44:08oh
44:29no problem with the tackle
44:33the door open here on this attack for england
44:38we love it uh no it's a knock on and tackle sevens come around and
44:46yeah it's just papa elite he's left hand just an accident
44:50tell you what he's putting himself about papi elite
44:53kip charlie cutting himself hard a couple of times finn baxter too
45:00he's a former new zealand schools captain and we knew from a very young age that he was going to be
45:06top notch
45:09he's had to wait for his chance seven jersey
45:14fine so wait for his chances in the mid-30s for caps now steady
45:27and christie has got to earl england just can't get it away and eventually
45:33from new zealand get their reward the penalty taylor wants to go quickly
45:38the halfbacks are still celebrating the contribution
45:45there we go great hustle from finley christie and this is all about
45:49hody taylor wanted to go quickly and was brought back george martin just gave him a nudge
45:54said i was ready for you there chief head back please boys
45:58i like it i know we're not supposed to say that anymore i like it
46:03martin remained in the ready position that's good
46:07all blacks against england mate a bit of niggles fine
46:11george martinson he's a young bloke don't run in and escalate things 2023 but he's ready to go
46:17great i'm gonna wait for this old guy's down a little bit it's nothing new zealand don't do
46:21a few people know he's there not releasing
46:26why he's where he is that's why he's one of the top players in the world does the basics well
46:31as a rule contributes highly and has got a bit of niggle about a bit of edge you need it
46:41but amidst all this edge there are clear problems for both sides to sort out here
46:47there are yeah england are quite connecting in attack are they rock solid scrum nicked at the
46:52back
47:08christy thought about the blind side
47:22white you're good before you affect the black screen out it's a brilliant defensive read for
47:27mara toji bernal then tries to nick the ball he's legal but toji makes the read makes the tackle
47:32he's then got to get out of the way because where he stays on the floor stops new zealand
47:39entering that run been able to compete with bernal
47:45and you sense that scott barrett was twitching before something around about the corner wanted
47:50to go for more than the three
48:00they are rattled at line out time at least that's for sure
48:04it must be a horrible night for the hooker it's never all their fault that should
48:08always be emphasized it was very quick to say that and understandably
48:13just about then it's a timing thing there's others involved that can make it go wrong but
48:21ultimately will
48:25to drain back to that position and number two that is a fact of life for those who wear that
48:32shirt they know that too it's good for mckenzie you can think the number of times now that the
48:41lineup has undermined new zealand's field position and they're attacking plans but it's a bit like
48:47our southgate the euros isn't it you wonder if a change needs making or if you actually bank the
48:51guy that's got a lot of credit in the bank cody taylor is not where he is because he's been in
48:56hard position to not come through them the lineup currently for new zealand is a problem
49:02so
49:22freeman do the same no he can't but kentu is there he looks very comfortable in the tent
49:32banged up a bit next week it seemed to enjoy
49:40christy looking for the space and so often is the case covered by marcus smith he's going
49:48trying to swing him around
49:52let's go
50:02both sides will also admit it's had some low quality moments but it's always been absorbing
50:08backwards i can't take your eyes off it because you're not quite sure what's going to happen
50:13over
50:18pops out for mitchell he wasn't sure that was going to happen but responding
50:22it's the halfway line with martin mitchell again
50:27marcus smith he's not quite getting away they've got his number at the moment
50:31there's a couple of attempted breaks
50:35uh
50:50theoretically that's a good win for new zealand nice bit of territory
50:55a line out in a decent position to attack from but all the anxiety now will be building around
51:02this set piece a defensive line that's going well new zealand they're getting off the ground
51:06causing england a few problems going to sort the attack out
51:12we'd love to at least level just like last week as we approach half time but at the moment it's
51:17new zealand looking to extend this uh now you're falling into that
51:23oh
51:45it's not about the release it's about your hands on the ground pass the ball and then back onto it
51:49support your body weight for that offense described by nick berry
52:00let the tackled player drop showed a bit of daylight between
52:03the tackle player and himself but as a judge not to have supported his own body weight hand on the
52:07floor there so he gets into that position through having not supported his body weight so he kind
52:13of grabs his way in hands on the deck it's the right call fine margins that will happen a few
52:19more times to both teams and it will probably be missed it won't always be picked up there
52:23are so many variables so much to look out for but that one is tough to argue with
52:33so if he comes he looks for that cushion that he did not have last week
52:50and he also looks at the shot clock which he didn't have last week either
52:57but he gets the three points he's judged it well that shot clock is visible in the stadium
53:04yeah we've had a couple off sides and then a couple of the breakdown there that's the things
53:09got the one rolling two off the ground he's the referee talking to jamie george
53:20that was brilliant taken on by his fellow rock george martin
53:25maybe england can have the final set in this first half
53:29advantage over just love this to work to show what they can do with that ball in hand
53:39try a piece and mitchell
53:43then it was the resorting to the boot which the all blacks won't be too concerned about there
53:50comes to little in the end but excellent for maratogi as a coach you probably call that a
53:55non-negotiable you chase every kickoff as hard as you possibly can
54:00and you run all that way cause a problem when you get there excellent stuff
54:06people quite convert england will practice this as all teams will this counter-attack from these
54:13long dropouts they'll have a plan see if they can execute it the group struggling now keep an eye on
54:20certainly new zealand will over the half time make an assessment
54:24we'll carry from ben earl there here comes sam underhill
54:30and alex mitchell decides he's going on his own missed the ball
54:34missed it no lift was off his feet there was uh two below two but he did leave it
54:40when he was told to by the referee
55:00george prefers mitchell to play it
55:03smith
55:06and there's a siren for half time so it will be the final play
55:11marcus smith trying to make it into something only lawrence is there
55:15he's going to leave it to mitchell
55:21finishing the heart like he started it
55:24all the way through that work rate so to martin he will have a penalty
55:29smith goes for one of those crossfield kicks again and it's tommy freeman
55:33who makes it both wingers have done it now and they will both thank marcus smith
55:50well to score a test try in new zealand is a rugby player's dream but here at eden park
55:57oh that is super special and both england wingers have done it
56:06sorry miles good carry from george martin just rocked new zealand back onto their heels
56:10just half a yard marcus smith again brilliant it's not pure opportunism it's not just seeing
56:16something and having a go he knows he's got a six foot four winger out there who's brilliant in the
56:21air who's massive carries a lot of weight into contact knows if he hits a decent kick there's
56:26a really good chance it's intelligent it's practiced it's brilliant from england
56:39so we've got blood coming from the head of sam underhill
56:44i've got no idea how that's happened
56:46england have an injury of their own to do with it halftime sam underhill as you can hear
56:52yes
56:55can anyone hear me
57:09he is kicking beautifully not just off the tee but those kicks out of hand have given england
57:17this chance this opportunity to do something very special at eden park we'll get the views
57:24of ellis will and nick with anna in a moment halftime england league
