Corrr, Mike Brown... what a player... :DD

[@plantedtankcare101]

Mike brown is outstanding.

[@LiaoboS]

this is some sick rugby right here

[@MuckyFingerz16]

This game was proof that last year was no fluke. NZ are the best in the world but we hung with them except for that opening 15 when we showed too much respect to them. We get another 4 shots at the All Blacks before the next World Cup so they'll be more chances for another upset. Great game to watch.

[@samj9217]

trying to claim a moral victory against NZ despite losing shows this game shows that Englands win in 2012 was a fluke. The Fact that England got smashed 30-3 by Wales and showed poor performances in the 6N shows how much of a fluke that win was.

[@robicenco1]

Still hurts eh?

[@TAJEEish]

Well played England !

[@myopicthunder]

i like the part where the english are sulking.

[@robicenco1]

I don't think they were sulking. I think they were disappointed to have lost. The same way any players are when they lose, your team included.

[@Britalex]

Ashton is the reason why those 2 tries went in!

[@kiwimale1]

Itz only a game.... We just play it better than others ... Kia Kaha, Aeoteroa

[@ethanthebeast1577]

Considering 5 of our lions players were out, I'd say we did pretty well

[@redneckdisco69]

When's Ashton gonna start actually making tackles !

[@Nieghorn]

In fairness, he did have Read going into touch and Billy V should have been marking Savea.

[@redneckdisco69]

True but if your a winger dont take a number 8 around the shoulders , the number of times ashton makes half assed tackles

[@Britalex]

Ashton should be dropped completely without delay

[@TheSilatiger]

still was impressed by England,your forwards have some real grunt ,and they will improve as they are a young pack-ABs fan

[@guswilliams9603]

Yeah the pack is situated, but the back-line needs some work. As soon as England can figure that out they're set for the World Cup.

[@mangojuuls]

Wow England needs to learn how to take a loss

[@BadAss2116]

true, nz are the best in the world but its also true that england and wales are catching up with the southern hemisphere sides in terms of quality .

[@jwmwow]

if Youngs could throw properly and ashton and tompkins were not on the pitch.... England would have won

[@kolomotua22]

if= lol

[@samj9217]

If there was a world cup for excuses for losses...England would be as dominant as nz

[@robicenco1]

Ha, like the forward pass & Wayne Barnes v. France in 2007 you mean?

[@ethanthebeast1577]

5 lions players out, we did pretty well

[@jackalfox652]

this coach didn't do his team any favours

[@LiaoboS]

ah they came so close

[@mark8200]

most byis higlights of a game ever.

[@shawnhawes2490]

Referring and rules ????

[@SEBBYHILLIAN999]

new zealand were always going to win

[@albymoana7964]

England did play well against ABs i mean you can't beat ABs with 8 player you need the whole team and score trys like they did 2012 that why ABs are so good its a teams sport s like the Springbok going up the middle and not using your backs too attack well you are going too lose all the time against a team like the ABs

[@kelnahu2094]

it would of been a boring game if the ABs won by a big margin

[@Stromblad2211]

damn kiwis....better luck next time boys!

[@jackalfox652]

still serious issues with refering

[@MrLowkeynz]

English first try should have been disallowed. The scrumhalf kicks it back into the number 8 whose in front of him and still attached to the scrum. Accidental offside. Scrum black.

[@spartenhero8869]

MrLowkeynz no watch it properly

[@bairdey1140]

6:10 First time Joubert has called out and penalised Black 7? Anyway, England too reliant on pendantic referees for points as usual. Got to do more than kick penalty goals

[@georgewishart4372]

Dat nose tho 7:14

[@arnarmagnusson8201]

George Wishart six years later I say good find

[@arnarmagnusson8201]

George Wishart and also hope after six years you are happy and going well with your life good sir

[@jackalfox652]

south African ref???

[@samj9217]

haha

[@harrypalmer7169]

Aghhh New Zealand with the ref who gave them the world cup and the biggest cheat in world rugby did we really stand a chance. If Nigel Owens had been the ref; now that guy has got balls.

[@juniorfatu5615]

I thing you’re a bloody over your their if you think you’re good enough you go and ref the game
