Transcript
00:00of their ball and then back towards the end of that first half we managed to
00:03stack a couple of good plays on top of each other and just move the game up the
00:05pitch nicely and ultimately then our wingers have
00:08done a good job of getting up in the air and finish off
00:10a couple of tries. How do you maintain it? How do you turn around so it wasn't like
00:15a repeat of last week? I think it's about managing the
00:19middle of the pitch really well but then also when we get opportunities
00:22in their half around stacking good carries on top of each other
00:24getting a bit of forward momentum and then
00:27taking opportunities as they pop up. Thanks so much for your time. Thank you very much, cheers.
00:30Yeah England ahead but only just the one point in it let's see how this unfolds
00:34then and get back to David and Myles in the second half.
00:38Thanks Anna, receiving a kick-off then and making no
00:44early error.
00:46I use it!
00:52Triescorer Freeman goes on the chase.
00:57Perifeto just opened up for him and to his credit he saw it.
01:05Cutting himself trying to rip the ball away there from Jordie Barrett.
01:10Two threes there, two tight ends, Lomax and Stewart.
01:16No, no, no, that's a horrible idea.
01:24McKenzie.
01:29England's Ten Smith.
01:36McKenzie again.
01:38Perifeto again but this time finding no space
01:42for Erkrum Smith. It was the chase but the tackle and the tracking down.
01:56See the protection being provided there for Christie the kicker.
02:01Here's Stewart and a little bit across the field tried to straighten and he ran
02:05into Ethan De Groot who obviously came through his treatment at
02:09half-time okay so to Sam Underhill.
02:13That door got shut then didn't it on Freddie Stewart.
02:20With a padlock.
02:36Slow ball again for Christie here.
02:39I use it!
02:42Not much else you can do really.
02:46It was in the air there Marcus Smith and the timing all wrong from Jordie Barrett
02:51who knew it and offered the apology to his opponent.
02:56Yep he knows he misjudged that Jordie Barrett.
03:00Nothing really in it, easy pen but actually that's a couple of times now
03:03New Zealand you would say have been forced to kick by England's defence
03:06in this opening couple of minutes of the second half.
03:09The last kick from McKenzie was just kind of a kick.
03:13A bit long putting them under no pressure whatsoever.
03:16That was a bit more like it but again a bit long so no one could compete in the
03:20air. Half decent start to the second half
03:24from England.
03:28Scott Robinson looks nice and calm. No need for shouting and screaming as
03:33does the England changing room. A few pointers.
03:39Earl Slade falls to Ferrobosso and he can't quite locate
03:45Stewart England going backwards suddenly.
03:53Foot in there from Pavlyu he's got to watch it when he's on the wrong side.
03:59Okay Black you're offside before the knock on.
04:09Almost almost for England was it Rikiyoani?
04:13Prior to the knock on. Rikiyoani thinks it may have been him he's not sure.
04:18Just snuck off the line.
04:24It's a nice idea Freeman who's a threat himself sucking in defenders.
04:28The sort of man that has to be covered just slipping that ball inside
04:31to Ferrobosso. He could quite come off.
04:35Looked a bit lively.
04:39Slade want the players of the season back home.
04:43The response that was to having been left out
04:46initially of Steve Balfour's plans answered in exactly the way the coach
04:54would have wanted. Scott Robinson did not want that kicking game.
04:59The start of the match started the second half but it
05:03slipped into that. Look at England make more of their
05:06situation here. Orly Lawrence over the game line.
05:11There's Sarvia on the wrong side trying to
05:14get away but he knew also he was slowing it right down.
05:17Baxter carries well. This is where England need good retention and it was
05:22almost ripped from Jamie George it was.
05:26They've been so aggressive sending their own 22 the Oil Blacks
05:31in situations like that. I'll tell you what England carrying really well.
05:36Building pressure, sharp line out drills but this counter up the work from Mark
05:40Taillea to disrupt the ball. Cody Taylor off the deck just scrapping.
05:47Just scrapping, just getting in the way. Mark Taillea did the damage.
05:55Forcing that fumble. Geez he's active isn't he? Definitely on the other side.
05:58You guys got your mark there? He is active. He's everywhere.
06:02Loves it. Both Rhys and Taillea have to be good. Remember Caleb Clarke is
06:09waiting in the wings literally and for that hat trick in the
06:13Super Rugby Pacific final.
06:17Might be the best winger in the world but I
06:28think I say that about nine different wingers a week
06:31depending on who's on telly. Mark Taillea is the best this week.
06:36No, Faye Wiboso is the best this week. Whatever.
06:39There's a world 15 with 700 players in it at the moment.
06:44I think we mentioned Tommy Friedman who we thought he'd left off.
06:47He's got to try as well.
06:50Rhys tried scoring last week.
06:55Got some lethal options out wide both sides if they can get it there.
07:00Just use it, use it. Ruffley decides it's
07:04both sides there causing the problem.
07:09Steven Perrafetti gets the ball away.
07:15That's good. Good refereeing. People love to jump on Rhys for doing what they
07:20regard as guessing. Well if they're not entirely sure.
07:22I thought that was a bit of both there. That's why I played away on it.
07:26Good stuff. Let's crack on lads if the ball's there.
07:30He does well and he'll take it. The line-out's good tonight.
07:37Pressure time for all the players. Pressure time in the breakdown again for England.
07:41Excuse me, excuse me. Go forward but it didn't stay.
07:45Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys, I want to explain that. They're short at that breakdown
07:49because you've taken an extra man out there. It's a penalty the other way.
07:53You're a man short for the cleaner there
07:56because you've taken a man without the ball. They're short
07:59at the clean. Ultimately. Number seven to hit off the ball and
08:05they're short of that breakdown.
08:09Seven black was it? I tell you what, if the ref himself Nick Berry spotted that.
08:13Seven black on 13 white. I think he's been told by someone else by his
08:16assistant ref in his ear. Love another look at that. It looked
08:20like brilliant defence off the tail from Cody Taylor. Yeah, he did say seven
08:25black was it. So it's obviously been called in.
08:29But it's properly, he nudges Slade, doesn't he?
08:34Yeah, they've elected to take a kick when the clock started.
08:38Yeah, clearly gave it to him in New Zealand's way initially.
08:40Yeah, hey, look, I would have tried to play, I would have tried to play through
08:43that, okay, but then I saw that late. It didn't milk it. You've hit him on the
08:47ground and they're short at that for a clean.
08:50I don't think he milked it. I think Henry Slade just got knocked over by a
08:53massive unit he wasn't expecting to get hit by but
08:58as you can't make contact with guys at the line and knock them over if they
09:01haven't got the ball. He was more creamed than milked it.
09:17Noise from the crowd again.
09:20The future of this series but Marcus Smith says
09:23you're not going to bother me.
09:27What a position for England to be in.
09:32We've heard a hundred times this week about how hard it is to win
09:36at this venue. It's been a very long time since they lost here.
09:41Two big units coming off for England. Two freshers coming on.
09:47Underhill goes, Stewart goes.
09:50Downs on his way.
10:03Ball is available. Dan Cole is there. Significant moment.
10:09Cat number 115. Most capped England forward
10:13ever. Overtakes Jason Lennon. Great Jason Lennon. Another great Dan
10:20Cole.
10:27Oh and Downs stayed down here.
10:41England players were calling the referee to stop the game there.
10:45It took me a while to process that. Why are they short? Okay I'm sorry that was
10:48a mess. We were fine again. Okay just head down. There you go.
10:52I think it's a knee from his mate isn't it? Tom Curry.
11:00Total accident. Not nice.
11:06You could see him talking away and nodding and squeezing the fingers there.
11:12Just the way he reacted.
11:26Rock star of the UFC.
11:30Looks like a nice man. I'm sure he is. When he gets in the octagon slightly less nice.
11:38Artist bloke at Eden Park he is. It's a big unit's knocking around but he's
11:42the artist of them all.
11:58Obviously has to go off for a further check.
12:01And a missile check just to make sure that he was okay to
12:05walk away unaided. So Jamie George
12:11will be required.
12:28Jamie George is good for 80. That's not the problem.
12:31Theo Dan up and walking. Walking himself back in. That's the most important bit.
12:37Crouch! That's all that matters. Fine!
12:45That's a bit messy guys.
12:49That's your decision guys. You make the space. You make the space before the set.
12:53Make sure there's a space before the set.
12:57That's where he starts at the very end.
12:59Dan Cole's going. You can see that Ethan De Groot's been taken off.
13:03Offer to Ingo Fassi's come on in the loose end.
13:05Just wait for the barn call. Wait for the barn call.
13:09A lot of experience. Dan Cole the legend against Ingo Fassi.
13:13A lot of mass.
13:15Big old rooster.
13:17Crouch!
13:19That's the second most capped player for the Blues at that level.
13:25That's a throw for Fassi.
13:27Secondary with the break.
13:29Kevin Lualani.
13:31And that
13:33is more than solid from New Zealand.
13:37Enrico Ianni.
13:39Another blue over halfway.
13:41Christy does really well.
13:43His teammate on to
13:45the ever dangerous Talayer.
13:49Off play by Ben Earl.
13:51There were others there as well.
13:53Wasn't just him.
13:55That's an exceptional carry from
13:57Chandler Cunningham South.
13:59Bulldozing four or five metres past
14:01the contact line.
14:03So important for England.
14:05That sort of drive forward.
14:07Back in the city where he went to
14:09college.
14:11Here's Talayer going back.
14:13And he's following a
14:15Reese. Shapes for the boot.
14:17And he gets it there.
14:19But it was taken back into the 22.
14:21Just waiting to see the officials react to that.
14:23He had a long time
14:25to note that point.
14:27For somebody else to point it out to him.
14:29If he hadn't really
14:31clocked it in the heat of the battle.
14:33Just the communication not quite there.
14:35It's clear and obvious to us.
14:37But we ain't down there
14:39with our heart rates flying.
14:41Someone's got to be screaming
14:43at him back there.
14:45Keep it in. Keep it in.
14:47If you're going to kick it.
14:51Not going all their way is it?
14:55The fidgets in the box
14:57last week. Scott Robinson.
14:59It's a bit nervy now as well.
15:01Getting a lot of possession
15:03at the start of his second half.
15:07Just the three points thus far to
15:09show for the second period.
15:11Just can't get it wide to fair with
15:13I've done that.
15:15Lovely swerving run.
15:17He's come back.
15:19There's a knock on in the tackle.
15:21There's no advantage from it.
15:23He shows his danger again.
15:37Knock on in the tackle.
15:39But it wasn't deliberate.
15:41You still know they are up.
15:43Yeah, they know what they're doing.
15:47What a third, fourth and fifth look at that.
15:49I must say, the first viewing
15:51which is all the referee gets.
15:53It absolutely looked just like it.
15:57Accidental one from him.
16:01I'm watching it.
16:05You can just make it look the right side of the line.
16:07I think Tailleur did there.
16:11It's not like clearing out a run.
16:13You've got to get your arms up.
16:15It used to be that you could swing an arm in
16:17and make it look exactly like you were swinging an arm in
16:19in order to clear out a run.
16:21If it happened to collide with someone on the way through
16:23that was a complete accident but an added bonus.
16:25It wasn't always a complete accident.
16:27You mentioned Jason Leonard.
16:29Until today, the most capped
16:31English men's forward of all time.
16:33He was an expert at that among other things.
16:37Talking caps his first one for
16:39Cortez Fratima.
16:45He toured the Northern Hemisphere in 2022
16:47but this is the first time that he's
16:51had a cap for his nation.
16:53He tries in Super Rugby this season.
16:57Five uncapped players in the squad.
16:59The first one to make his debut.
17:01Finlay Christie, the man to go off.
17:03Born in Scotland.
17:05Moved to New Zealand at the age of seven.
17:09Huge congratulations to Cortez Fratima.
17:11Massive day for him.
17:13I tell you what, he's got a job on.
17:15England are in the ascendancy.
17:17Yes, in terms of points but also
17:19gameplay at the moment.
17:29They'll want more than just the three
17:31in this second half.
17:33Slade to Smith.
17:35Freeman.
17:39Couldn't get on the end of it that time.
17:41But it wasn't quite the option
17:43because the kick wasn't great.
17:45We can see that. He wasn't perfect.
17:47But actually there was no one out hugging that touchline.
17:49So if Freeman does take the kick.
17:51Actually if you look at him
17:53he's running out towards the touchline.
17:55So if he does take that he's relatively easy to barrel
17:57into touch. So really you need someone
17:59hugging that touchline to hit that ball
18:01more directly.
18:03Tojian again has gone back to Taylor.
18:05It's been a tolerant night
18:07for the New Zealand hooker.
18:09Out wide.
18:11Going on his own.
18:13OK, use it please now.
18:1521.
18:17Wind on. Shoulders on.
18:19Suffering in that line out.
18:21Back now.
18:23Combination.
18:35As always over the years, over the generations
18:37there's been an expectation for the New Zealand All Blacks
18:39to find another gear when they need to
18:41in the final quarter.
18:43Not been much evidence yet. Consistent evidence.
18:45But there's another gear
18:47in them quite yet. They don't quite look the finished
18:49article. How could they? Two games in under
18:51a new coach.
18:53They've got some work to do here.
18:57It's all played on. It's all backwards.
19:01Got it here. With Rhys.
19:03Nah, you pulled out.
19:07Ball lost by
19:09Salvia.
19:11Marcus Smith. This would be a great chance to
19:13strike. Oh, it would be for New Zealand as well
19:15but the referee decided that
19:17long pass was not sufficient advantage.
19:19A lot of noise in the stadium
19:21but it's been called back.
19:23For the knock on.
19:25Yeah, I'll come over on that side now.
19:27Yeah, that's right.
19:29OK, yeah, make it now.
19:35Yeah, on.
19:37Just gets a hand in there.
19:39Does well. The throw was a bit low.
19:41Which meant that Turpilloto didn't need to be
19:43at full height.
19:45Advantage England. Yeah, I think Mark
19:47Talleyer intercepting and going the length doesn't count
19:49as an advantage. That's reasonable.
19:51Yeah, I think the space is good
19:53before the seventh but then you're
19:55coming in. You're both coming in
19:57so just be more patient. Hold your weight.
19:59It's going to be slow.
20:01We've got Jamie George saying to the referee
20:03that we're struggling for space. They're crowding us.
20:05Actually, you'd expect
20:07the Fletcher Newell's on the tight head here. The new fellow
20:09with his head strapped. You'd expect
20:11England to be doing the crowding
20:13because New Zealand's props are so tall.
20:16England to be doing the crowding because New Zealand's props
20:18are so tall.
20:24Crouch!
20:27Come on!
20:34Go on early.
20:36Go on early.
20:40He can't have a scrum.
20:45England go for the tap without that scrum option
20:47now.
20:52Marcus Smith
20:54looks for a bit of territory
20:56and finds it.
20:58Now that
21:00is normally a situation the side
21:02isn't too stressed about
21:04but not tonight.
21:06Well, in any other game, this is a brilliant
21:08kick but this is potentially
21:10doubly brilliant from Marcus Smith
21:12because New Zealand are not enjoying the line-up.
21:16Come on.
21:18Suddenly twice the pressure.
21:20Normal circumstances.
21:22Topside see a way out of this.
21:24They're throwing in. Not the opposition.
21:26Five metres from the line. They dictate.
21:28I told you.
21:30I told you.
21:32England waste the chance.
21:34You need to step off.
21:36He's done it before. Referee being consistent.
21:38Told him.
21:41Chuffed a bit
21:43with that, Cody Taylor.
21:51The one time
21:53or the one situation where England wanted
21:55New Zealand to have the ball
21:57five metres away now
21:59from their own line.
22:07But in the second half
22:09England have set up camp in the
22:11New Zealand half.
22:21Mitchell has gone very high.
22:23Got a bit of a swirl on it as well.
22:25Therefore, that's an excellent catch by Jordie Barrett.
22:29Tell you what, he did well then.
22:31That was very, very droppable.
22:33So much traffic. Really awkward.
22:36Yes, you are inside.
22:39Yes, you are inside, guys.
22:41Swirling out the lights as well.
22:43Let him go, please, two.
22:45Use that 21.
22:47It's such hard work for New Zealand to get out of their own half at the moment.
22:55He still can't.
22:59Jordan Barrett on two now.
23:05Came on last week.
23:07It was very much his tricky game.
23:09It was two to four.
23:23George will stay out there
23:25as we expect.
23:27We will see what happened to
23:29Theo Dent.
23:31They have got outside their own half
23:33and they are on the chase.
23:35And Bowden Barrett is the man
23:37that tackles Freddie Stewart
23:39and they pile through
23:41and suddenly, the stadium
23:43in response to the
23:45team
23:49launch into life.
23:53What a shot from Finn Baxter that was.
23:55No, leave it now.
23:57Enrico Ioanni, Bowden Barrett.
23:59If he is happy with the timing on that
24:01then actually Barrett from his position
24:03on the floor will be more than happy
24:05as he springs back to his feet
24:07to see where the ball ended up.
24:09It's a brilliant kick and it's the second line-out in a row
24:11disrupted by New Zealand of England's.
24:13England absolutely not having it all their own way
24:15at line-out time either.
24:17That's what's undermined their field position this time.
24:19So it's England's throw.
24:25I believe it's England's throw.
24:27New Zealand defending really well.
24:30Trying to turn the tables at set-piece.
24:36Just a bit more chat.
24:38Just a bit more clarity there.
24:40Let's be absolutely sure what we're doing
24:41because the last couple haven't worked.
24:44And Tom Lennott-Brown.
24:46A highly experienced customer
24:48off the bench.
24:53What is he out of form?
24:55I don't think he's ever not been in form.
24:57But he's in really, really good form.
25:0111 out of 10.
25:09Jamie George is called back by the referee.
25:12Yeah, I haven't called time on there yet.
25:14And you've got a heap of receivers.
25:17That's a great throw.
25:19Guys, three, number up.
25:22OK, yeah, that's right, mate.
25:23I haven't called time on there.
25:25OK, it's going to be a five-man.
25:29Well, George and Taylor
25:31have been living on the edge
25:33of that assessment.
25:35It's all New Zealand's line-out that's gone wrong.
25:37England, as you say, Flats,
25:39have had a fair few problems.
25:41And it goes to the front of Cunningham South
25:43and back it goes straight to Jamie George.
25:50From one extreme to another.
25:53Look at that good bit of variety.
25:55Just win that ball, get it done.
25:57Nice and accurate, very droppable, that.
25:59Again, Chandler, Cunningham South,
26:01they look easy, those little five-metre takes.
26:03They're not, and a good carry from George Martin.
26:06It was a long kick.
26:10And this is meant for Anton Leonard-Brown.
26:13Lovely hands.
26:15Marcus Smith has got him.
26:19England try and do a bit of counter-rucking themselves,
26:21but the referee's more involved
26:23than Henry Slade.
26:25He had the referee.
26:30And then it's on from Barrett.
26:34Found a bit of space there
26:36with Bolden back, and he's finding it again.
26:38Oh, he's finding it all right.
26:40And he's got support outside
26:42from Matwang once more.
26:44Mark Talaya.
26:52Sometimes against the All Blacks,
26:55teams are reduced to watch and admire.
26:58That was one of those examples.
27:02Just look how they craft this.
27:08Well, I mentioned how used we've been over the years.
27:11Certainly in my living memory,
27:13watching New Zealand find something,
27:15find an extra gear.
27:17Well, this is how you execute.
27:20Well, this is how you execute out wide, direct.
27:24Very, very simple.
27:25They make very, very simple things
27:27look fabulous, New Zealand, a lot of the time.
27:29There's no flair involved here.
27:31Nice finish, Shaw.
27:33Didn't need to dive, but why not?
27:34Bit of artistic impression.
27:36Draw the man.
27:37Put a great player in space.
27:38Bolden-Barrett still got the legs.
27:40The timing looks so simple.
27:43Lovely stuff from New Zealand.
27:45Because he got pulled in that position as well.
27:48And, of course, it began further back than that.
27:51It was the build-up to it and that clinical nature.
27:55New Zealand couldn't seize on their territory.
27:58And the advantage in that department,
28:00New Zealand did almost straight away.
28:03They can't add the extra two points,
28:05so it's still just one point at it.
28:08Tightly balanced, to say the least.
28:10Once again, in this second test, like the first.
28:14You see England can't quite get around the corner.
28:16Damian McKenzie identifies that it's Finn Baxter.
28:19A brilliant player, but a big, heavy lad.
28:21An hour in.
28:22Effectively on the edge.
28:23If he can get around him and draw him,
28:25England are going to struggle to recover.
28:27Good identification.
28:28Not enough folding around of numbers from England.
28:31They just lost concentration, lost their legs a bit.
28:34And the All Blacks picked them off in style.
28:37A change of Smiths.
28:40Finn to Marcus.
28:43And it's Coles who's on his way.
28:45There he goes, trying to charge down.
28:50There is Finn Smith.
28:51He was a little bit disappointed with the impact of the bounce last week.
28:55It's time now for these players to step up and possibly win a game
29:00at Eden Park for their country.
29:02Damian McKenzie, back to Bowden Barrett.
29:06Yeah, he's finding space all right.
29:08Cody Taylor, Mark Tilley, now on a hat-trick,
29:10tries to step inside.
29:12Tommy Freeman.
29:15Finding the gears here in New Zealand.
29:23And just as we say that, they score.
29:30Well, imperfect but ambitious from New Zealand.
29:33The kick not quite on the money, not every pass on the money,
29:36but, jeez, if there's space there, it's heads up stuff, they'll take it.
29:40And it's fair to say that man, Bowden Barrett,
29:42one of the greats of all time,
29:44has had an impact since he came on the field.
29:48Delicately done by Damian McKenzie.
29:53That was right off the gymnast's mat, wasn't it,
29:55from McKenzie, knowing exactly where the outline was,
29:59although the kicker, Barrett, didn't on that occasion.
30:02Well, there was no-one really coming onto that ball.
30:04You felt there was space there if anyone was flat and hitting that.
30:07But Jordie Barrett...
30:10To move the ball right then, to move it wider.
30:13But there was no-one really with the legs or in position,
30:16so the kick was the option.
30:18Bit of a let-off for England, that.
30:20They looked stretched at that stage.
30:3348 matches since New Zealand.
30:38They've lost here.
30:401994.
30:44All that way.
30:50And that the only one since 1986.
30:56But England are this close, and Ollie Lawrence knows it.
31:01Mitchell.
31:04Mitchell again.
31:06Finsmith.
31:08Too close to Bowden Barrett.
31:10What a pick-up.
31:12What a bit of skill.
31:14Don't underestimate the impact that pick-up has just had.
31:17If he lets that bounce, stops it with his foot,
31:20takes an extra second and a half,
31:22he gets mullered, and England are absolutely in the ascendancy.
31:26By the way, I thought the line-out was crooked and that got missed,
31:29but splitting hairs.
31:32New Zealanders did too.
31:34What a bit of skill that was from Barrett.
31:37True class, that.
31:40Coles takes the line-out.
31:42Earl feeds it to Mitchell.
31:44Then it's Slade, Finsmith,
31:46Phil Robosso, who's carrying.
31:51Mitchell trying to keep that tempo high.
31:54Etosha.
31:56It's as if the New Zealand tries pushed England on to the next level
32:00that they were searching for.
32:02They had all that possession, all that territory,
32:04couldn't do anything with it.
32:06Lawrence finds Barrett.
32:08The ball is just constantly finding Barrett.
32:10Now he volleys the ball downfield.
32:12Where's it going to bounce?
32:14Oh, it nearly went to him again.
32:22And here's Jordi Barrett.
32:31England need to set their defensive form again.
32:34They've been caught down that channel recently with the score,
32:37and the hands are excellent to try and work that channel again.
32:41Tackle me to ground!
32:45Some top skills out there now.
32:48Fletcher Newell rolling backwards, not forwards.
32:51McKenzie out to Severus.
32:54They're flying, he's flying.
32:56He's got support outside from Pappi Aliki.
32:59Stands it up.
33:01Jordi Barrett on to Anton Lennart-Brown.
33:03England now scrambling.
33:06Could be scrambling to stay in the test, in the series here.
33:13Gualtima.
33:16Forward goes Salvi.
33:26That is Jacobson.
33:28And that's the penalty in front.
33:31And the crowd delighted with the efforts of their team there.
33:37They have upped the ante at just the right time.
33:41What a test match.
33:44And what a mistake to have suggested that New Zealand might not have the other gear,
33:49or at least that we hadn't seen much evidence of it.
33:51They are at it.
33:53Since Bode and Barrett came off the bench, they are fully at it.
33:56That was almost one of the tries of the season.
34:00Drops it on to the left, volleys it on the right.
34:05Nearly, nearly, nearly.
34:07Freddie Stewart does just enough.
34:09Because he's motoring, is Bode and Barrett.
34:13What a test match. What a game.
34:16What skills.
34:18That volley.
34:20Oh, beautiful. On the run.
34:26What about coming home for England?
34:33Coming home for Barrett all the time.
34:35Like a pigeon, that ball at the moment.
34:47The best part of 48,000 people watching that clock for Damian McKenzie just in case.
34:53It's 21-17.
34:57An easy kick for Damian McKenzie in the end.
34:59Itoji Deaned offside.
35:01His pass a minute or so ago across the face of the England defence.
35:05Decevue Reece was just wonderful.
35:07A world-class pass.
35:09Pass of the day, and that man, Finn Baxter, gone really well today.
35:12Second cap, you'd never know it.
35:14Brilliant player.
35:15Some shift, Devon Rodd comes on.
35:18Some slipping and sliding, but also a bit too high, says the referee.
35:22It's just a penalty. It's just a penalty.
35:25It was right cool.
35:27Got the head tap from Dalton Matthew Leaty.
35:29Thanks, mate, he said to Mario Itoji.
35:32Incredibly annoying.
35:34Nothing Itoji hasn't done himself once or twice, I'd wager.
35:49Yes, thank you.
35:50That's a hush.
35:53Yeah, doesn't quite get it right, does it?
35:56It's not the worst you've ever seen, but at full speed, there was no doubt.
36:01Oh, Finn's drifting across.
36:02Time off.
36:06Yeah, OK, just send him off at the back there.
36:08It's a H-I-O, it's all right, mate, it's OK.
36:13Have they got a sub ready to go?
36:14Is it a come-through?
36:15No, it's a H-I-O, I believe.
36:18Here's Freddie Stewart.
36:19He's going to be checked.
36:22Yeah, it was when he made the tackle, so there's no foul play in that.
36:34Marcus Smith.
36:36He's operated at full-back before.
36:39Guys, you ready?
36:41It's at the World Cup, of course.
36:45Pass, pass, pass.
36:46Just hold him, yeah.
36:47Stewart didn't look too concerned.
36:48In fact, he was questioning should it be him, but of course...
36:51Come up to the line, Black.
36:53What it has to be is out of his hands.
36:59That's through the mark.
37:01It's a good line-out from New Zealand.
37:02Nice and tidy.
37:03Assafa Al Moua, nice accurate throw.
37:06Got the timing right.
37:07England didn't quite manage to get off the ground.
37:09New Zealand too sharp.
37:11They've still got full binds.
37:12They haven't changed their bind.
37:16There it is.
37:17And they go through the middle in the end.
37:18Make a step.
37:20That was Al Moua.
37:27Well, Tumar is...
37:29That's illegal.
37:30That was liable to happen if he couldn't get his hands on it,
37:33which he couldn't.
37:36Evan Rod, good impact off the bench at loose head prop for Finn Baxter.
37:41Excellent contributor all over the field.
37:44He's on the deck there.
37:45He's made the tackle.
37:46Gets up.
37:49He's allowed to do that.
37:53Get off the bench and cause some problems.
37:55Guys, don't jump the gun again, OK?
37:56Just hold that space.
37:58All right, bind up.
37:59It's been nice and slow, OK?
38:00Different job specs, really.
38:01You've got to prop, get off there and get amongst them,
38:03get into them.
38:04And you've got someone like Bowden Barrett.
38:07Get on the bench and avoid him.
38:09Carve him up, find space.
38:10The handing area is wrapping up for New Zealand.
38:13Won't be happy with that.
38:14Scott Robertson will be happy with the score.
38:17Still two-time, too close for comfort.
38:21Ten years ago, it was five points in it, wasn't it?
38:23With Conrad Smith's late try, three minutes.
38:27Fine!
38:28Normal time to go, and he scored that.
38:31Agonisingly close then here at Eden Park.
38:34Yeah, but you know what?
38:35I'm not going to say anything.
38:36I'm not going to say anything.
38:38Yeah, but you guys take responsibility for it, OK?
38:42Get whatever space you need to make sure
38:43that there's a space before the set call.
38:46And don't forget, we are following this
38:48with live coverage of the Toronto International Rugby today
38:54with a second test between Australia and Wales,
38:57South Africa and Ireland.
39:01We go from Melbourne to Durban,
39:02and then Buenos Aires is where we finish
39:06for Argentina against France.
39:11All on Sky Sports.
39:15And remember this time next year,
39:17in Australia, it's the Lions on Sky.
39:31Yeah, and when that's steady,
39:32no-one needs to put the ball in, OK?
39:34Everyone slip in here.
39:35Bring it over here.
39:38Keep the time off.
39:41I think he's finding that right.
39:43Loads of you are slipping,
39:45so let's move it four inches this way,
39:47and everything will be fine.
39:49As soon as it's steady, don't delay it.
39:52It's not a mob bar,
39:53I don't think it's going to make that much difference.
39:55I do like the way the ref has handled the scrum.
39:57He doesn't panic.
39:58Happy to say reset or just play on, lads.
40:02He's not entirely sure.
40:03There's too much at stake
40:05to be pressured into decisions you don't want to make.
40:10Nick Burry didn't have a great Lions experience
40:13in South Africa,
40:16but he's got a good view of Vannevar.
40:18And it's a New Zealand penalty.
40:23We saw the celebration
40:26from Ben Earl at the turnover,
40:29but he won't be celebrating that.
40:31It's New Zealand who are pumped.
40:33It's that man, Fletcher Newell again,
40:35who's come on and he is solid as a rock.
40:39Yeah.
40:40It looks like he's got small shorts on.
40:42He hasn't.
40:43They're the biggest ones they make, I think.
40:45He is very, very strong.
40:47And when he gets in that slot
40:49between loose head and tight head,
40:51or if he can just separate Bevan Rodd
40:53from Jamie George a little bit,
40:55goes for it.
40:56He is incredibly strong.
40:58I'm not going to get all technical
41:00and try and sound all clever.
41:01That is power and technique
41:03and aggression.
41:04He's an excellent tight head prop
41:06to bring off the bench.
41:07Really, really valuable.
41:09Look where it's gone on that scrum.
41:12That's what the coach promised.
41:14The captain didn't promise that.
41:16Scott Barrett lost control,
41:18but it's called and it's a penalty.
41:25Four wide, you've set the arm
41:27while he's still in the air.
41:28Contact in the air.
41:29That's what Barrett was jumping at.
41:31Excuse me, 19 it was.
41:32Jumping up and down.
41:34Nara Touje does not offer any complaint there.
41:39He's just changed it, Nick Berry.
41:41He said it was number 19, Alex Coles.
41:43To clarify, it was four and 19?
41:45No, four and 19, both of them.
41:47Guys, they're taking a shot.
41:49Well, I was about to say,
41:50New Zealand finally winning clean ball
41:52at the line-out in the air.
41:54Brilliant throw, lovely drill,
41:56but they're ruining the deliveries, actually.
41:58Yeah.
41:59Okay, yeah.
42:00I think he just went down and slapped him
42:02before the jumper's returned to ground.
42:04Yeah, so it's Nara Touje.
42:05That's two penalties now for Mitoji.
42:08The last one was kicked for three.
42:10He's a valuable moment.
42:12He is a nuisance, as Ellis Geng said.
42:14The halftime is what he does best.
42:16That's his MO.
42:17He's just in the way at the right times.
42:19Guys, two minutes from there.
42:21He's pushed it a bit too far a couple of times.
42:25Mamanu had the draw experience
42:27with the Lions in New Zealand,
42:29and if this goes over,
42:31that's becoming England's best bet.
42:35I know.
42:37I know.
42:39Yeah.
42:40You guys have to be back behind the 40,
42:42so if you're not, they can't go.
42:44Damian McKenzie
42:48uses the upright,
42:50but it's there,
42:52and they're almost there.
42:55The unbeaten record
42:57is looking pretty secure.
42:59What can England do in this last five minutes?
43:03The bench has made a big difference for New Zealand.
43:06Steve Balthrick said that New Zealand's bench
43:08made a big difference last week.
43:10Bowden, Barrett, Fletcher, Newell,
43:12big impacts.
43:14Asaf Alamur as well.
43:18Tackle release now!
43:21No, no, not now.
43:23There's been a clean out.
43:24Tried to contest the restart.
43:26Knew how important that ball
43:28retention was.
43:32But New Zealand have control.
43:37Just hold back.
43:38There are some shaky times again
43:40in this Test match for New Zealand,
43:42but they are finishing the stronger of the two.
43:45Ollie Slytham's come up.
43:49I think in an ideal world,
43:51England management would have liked
43:52to have seen him on for more.
43:54They're excited by him as a prospect,
43:56but the Wingers have been going
43:58so well in the match.
44:01Doing what they do,
44:03and Freeman is still out there
44:05giving it a go.
44:07Slytham's the kind of player
44:09who can conjure up something magical.
44:11No doubt about that.
44:13Or something beastly at least.
44:15He only needs about an eighth of a gap.
44:17He's not a massive guy,
44:19Ollie Slytham, who has a lot of power.
44:20England just need to find
44:22an opportunity to use him.
44:24They ain't got long.
44:28In the footsteps of his father, John.
44:31He was a power winger too.
44:33And sort of capturing him
44:35back in the day.
44:39Freeman
44:42looks for Slytham.
44:44With a shimmy, goes on the outside.
44:46This is what he does,
44:47and he's burnt Reese.
44:49Brilliant from the England replacement.
44:52Coles,
44:54fellow Northampton say.
44:58Curry's going to get back to his feet.
45:00Holding out an arm for that contact
45:02off the ball, I think.
45:05Here's Mitchell.
45:07Curry goes into the space.
45:09Oh, he's been slattened again.
45:11Okay, Thor Black,
45:13you've contacted a man off the ball.
45:15Am I on the mark?
45:16Yeah, it was Tom Curry, I think.
45:18Got whacked off the ball.
45:20Yeah, I'm just trying to get the mark.
45:22Time off while you get it.
45:24Okay.
45:27Ollie Slytham.
45:29Okay, thank you.
45:30Started to hit off the ball by Thor Black.
45:32Around the outside of Seven Reese.
45:34Twice.
45:36Blistering pace.
45:38He looks at him and says,
45:39I don't think he actually said it.
45:41In that motion, he said,
45:42you ain't done your homework, fella.
45:44You haven't done your prep, mate.
45:46No, I don't burn you.
45:48Shades of Johnny Mayick
45:49twicking him against New Zealand.
45:51Almost identical position
45:53when I swear New Zealand
45:54had not done their homework on May.
45:56Hey, you might not know much
45:57about Ollie Slytham
45:58or whatever happens
45:59just think of the moments for wingers.
46:01I tell you what,
46:02he'll remember his name now,
46:03win or lose.
46:04Hang on.
46:06I know what the bottom of his shoes
46:07look like, too.
46:08Three, four, five.
46:09Five.
46:12But England still have to get
46:13that score here.
46:17Down it comes.
46:19Benner.
46:21You knew he was going to throw
46:22absolutely everything at that.
46:27First man.
46:29Oh, look at that
46:30from New Zealand again.
46:33It's such a feature
46:34of this series.
46:36It's something England
46:37will have to address.
46:39Turnover ball in that area.
46:42Has to be eliminated
46:43from their game.
46:45New Zealand so good
46:47at countering.
46:48Here's Marcus Smith
46:49so good at this.
46:51Final two minutes.
46:54Is it going to be
46:55yet another win for New Zealand
46:56at Eden Park?
46:57Or can England
46:59have the final say
47:00in this series?
47:01Mitchell.
47:03Got a penalty.
47:04He's looking for help.
47:06He's looking for Slytham.
47:07That's what he's doing.
47:08And you can't blame him.
47:09Slytham goes over the ball.
47:11In goes George.
47:14Howie Mint.
47:17Ball on the spike
47:18over the referee.
47:19No advantage.
47:21Obviously playing advantage there.
47:22Black offside.
47:24Well, you'd guess
47:25he'll go for the corner.
47:28Scrum's an option
47:29they won't take.
47:30Black never back onside.
47:31That turnover
47:32after that last line out
47:33that was
47:34big boy stuff.
47:35That was heavy weight work
47:36from the All Blacks.
47:38England were piling in.
47:39They're coming to you.
47:42The All Blacks
47:43properly mixing it
47:44in the breakdown.
47:46This is it.
47:47It feels like well.
47:49There's a very high chance
47:50this is it for England.
47:53The draw in the test match
47:54they're going to win it now.
48:03The draw might feel
48:04like a win at this stage.
48:06This is big.
48:09George throws.
48:10Itojo takes.
48:14This is where that feeling
48:15of the long, hard season
48:17might kick in.
48:18But England also know
48:20this is the last thing
48:21they have to do.
48:23Can they find a way
48:24to that try line
48:26and give themselves
48:27a shot
48:28at a draw?
48:30No, they can't.
48:35Closh gone red
48:36a little bit early.
48:39Good and bad order
48:40contribution
48:41he has made
48:42off the bench.
48:45Almost impeccable
48:46in all that he's done
48:47since he came on.
48:48All aspects.
48:50Ball in hand,
48:51ball off the boot.
48:53Yeah, we're going to check this.
48:54Can we just start back
48:55at the mall formation
48:57and see how that's come down.
48:59And at the end there
49:00I've got two held up
49:01over the line.
49:03So on field no try.
49:04We're going to go back
49:05to the start of the mall
49:06and we'll work from the start.
49:09We'll throw along the game.
49:10We are scoring.
49:12Formation is good.
49:14Ball transfer is good.
49:19New Zealand's initial defence
49:20is good, gets England
49:21moving backwards.
49:22England regenerate
49:24with the help
49:25of some of the bats.
49:27Keep your eye on Jamie George.
49:29Bowden Barrett
49:30gets himself underneath him.
49:31So Nick, I think we need
49:32to have a look at the actions
49:33of 12 right first
49:34to see whether he detaches
49:35from the mall
49:36to create an obstruction as well.
49:37Yeah, OK.
49:38Alright, so the mallsmen
49:39successfully defended there once.
49:43So England throw the
49:44bats in here.
49:46One of them is
49:47Ollie Lawrence.
49:48OK.
49:49Do they generate momentum
49:50by coming out to the side here?
49:52Yes, they do.
49:55Do you feel it stopped
49:56and then they've come out?
49:58Keep the replays going, Brett.
50:00Yeah.
50:01Yeah.
50:18Alright, so that mallsman
50:19successfully defended.
50:21And then to generate
50:22momentum again.
50:23They've sheared off.
50:24And 12 right is in front
50:26of the ball.
50:2712 right is in front
50:28of the ball carrier.
50:30Are we all concerned
50:31in the same picture?
50:37OK, replay it again.
50:38We want to get this right.
50:41Put it through one more time.
50:43Please, Brett.
50:44We want to make sure
50:45we get this right.
50:46Yeah, no worries.
50:47I'll get another camera.
50:49If Ollie Lawrence
50:50and Jamie George
50:51haven't attacked
50:52one another.
50:58Yeah, I'm just getting
50:59that camera angle for you now.
51:03OK, so it's...
51:05Malls stop there.
51:07Oh, that's moving then.
51:09OK, now it's stopped
51:10and they come off
51:11and 12's in front.
51:13I see that as clear obstruction.
51:15OK, I'm going to explain this.
51:18Jamie, I don't want
51:19to argue about it.
51:20I've looked at it
51:21four or five times.
51:23I want to explain this.
51:24The mall's been successfully
51:25defended.
51:26It's stopped.
51:27It's then generated again
51:28by 12 white
51:29and yourself coming off.
51:3012 white is in front of you.
51:31So it's obstruction.
51:32So it's going to be
51:33a penalty to black.
51:39Jamie George
51:40can't believe it.
51:42Obstruction.
51:4312 white's on fire.
51:45You have to tap it
51:46and then kick it out.
51:49Scott Barrett
51:50can hardly hear
51:51the obstruction
51:52of the referee.
51:54You have to tap it
51:55and then kick it out.
51:56Which is what
51:57they will do now
51:58to win again
52:00at Eden Park.
52:02Course failures,
52:0330 years,
52:0449 matches
52:06now
52:07on this ground.
52:08It's the Series 2 now.
52:10It's a winning start
52:11for that captain
52:14Scott Barrett
52:16and
52:17for Razor
52:18the coach
52:19in his reign.
52:21But England came close
52:22last week
52:23and this day
52:24then.
52:25They came close
52:26both times.
52:28England will be hurting
52:29badly after this.
52:30Badly.
52:31So close.
52:32So tight.
52:33They will feel it's a test match.
52:34They should at least
52:35have drawn.
52:36But New Zealand
52:37haven't got where they are.
52:38They don't have this record
52:39at Eden Park
52:40because they beat everyone
52:41by 100 points
52:42by cricket scores.
52:43They find ways to win.
52:44I don't think they are
52:45at their best yet.
52:46I wondered if they would
52:47find another gear.
52:48They found it
52:49but they found it
52:50by bringing the bench on,
52:51by bringing the old legends back.
52:52Bowdoin Barrett
52:53will have a massive impact
52:54offensively,
52:55defensively
52:56at the end.
52:57The final decision
52:58will haunt England.
52:59Of course it will.
53:01It's going to cause
53:02a lot of conversation.
