England were much better today. NZ were easy winners but England were comitted. It wasent untill the end when the fitness levels really started to show. Good show Endlnad. I hope they build on it.
As mentioned earlier I'm not exactly a committed England fan but when you get four yellow cards in one game it's pretty tough to be competitive.. A couple were fair (blatantly hitting someone in the face and some cynical handling in a ruck) but the ref was inconsistent.. Not warning someone for an infringement and giving them a yellow card isn't that bad if he applies the same thing to the oppo but he didn't..
Disappointing as Rolland is usually a decent ref
Also, it was all worth it for me to see Rokocoko's no-look pass sprint thing.. Amazing
