England draws with All Blacks from 25-6 down at Twickenham

Whilst the AB will take their undefeated end of year tour with their usual grace. These lapses in concentration have been ongoing and speak of a lack of mental fortitude. NZ owned England in almost every area (especially in the tight where they bossed England around). The bench were poor with their impact (especially Perenara) and their inability to close out the last 10 minutes (albeit being down to 14) was not an isolated incident.

Good signs though - they looked 20 points better than England and their forward pack and scrum is now amongst the best.

A word about French referee Raynal. He is poison to a game of rugby. Equally bad on both teams he needs to be shifted along so that better refs can be given high profile games.

Third AB try was a thing of simple beauty - best moment of the game.

But yeah, overall too many pens, primadonna reffing, and TMO reviews. The game needs speeding up.

This is the fifth time this season this year's (and probably next year's, unfortunately) All Blacks have given up such a lead.

Right? ABs are a mess right now.

Their coach isn't up to the job.

and Eddie would have learned a lot from that game too. He’s going through some issues in the England team but he’s a smart man and he’ll get them sorted before next year. I can’t say the same for Foster.

From the weekend’s results (not games as I didn’t see all performances) it looks like South Africa is the most in form. I like the Springboks and hope they can keep it up for next year.

What neppened Blackies??..

You are not the same as before...

The early try "gifted" by England was a shocker. What was the scrum half thinking?

In the end a fair result.
