If that happens I will buy a ALL BLACK jersey.
Kidding, that will never fucken happen, buy a AB's jersey I mean.. Extending deans contract, I hope not.

I heard they'd all had a vomiting bug during the week. Perhaps that contributed, but from all reports England outplayed them across the park.
There is hope for us all ...

There may be some cheap ones for sale after today's result

ABs were completely outplayed today, and the poms fully deserved there win. No excuses.
As an aside, Ashton is an unmitigated showboating twat...just saying

Wonder how far away the Wobs are from one of these "everything clicks" performances? Ironically it was against the team that just clicked against the ABs that we sort of played pretty solidly.

The positives: the line out (helped by charteris being off), the defence, some half breaks by individuals, the rucks (I guess but there were a mess all game)
The negatives: the kicking (poor decisions and poor execution, miss finding touch from a penalty but mistakenly kick others out on the fool), the decision making in attack and the lack of support play. Our goal kicking as also off tonight.
We really lack leadership and composure in attack. More curious is why we have it in defence but not attack. We seem to be constantly playing for penalties when the ball is in hand. The personnel changes this year haven't helped but I think it's more than that.
Thanks sharpie, enjoy your retirement - until we need you again next year.

Apart from it being Sharpies last game, I feel sick for us winning that.
What an absolute joke performance. Appalling from all the backs. Average from the forwards.
Worst is the coach. What sort of game plan is that? Swapping the centres in defence (just because or Roberts?) - fail. Kick first plan - fail. Running the same play off every line out - fail.
We are doomed if we have this coach for the lions series.

If the poms had clicked against the wobs like they did today, Deans would be looking at Xmas in Canterbury. They would have put 20 points on any team based on today's effort.

Wales only 2 long breaks were the result of this ploy: both AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Tapuai are, at least, reasonable defenders so why mess with it?
On the first one - from the Wales line - there was utter confusion and they both went for the same man.
I would love to hear the "thinking" behind this and know whether the players asked for it or Deans imposed/suggested it.
i hesitate to say this: i thought Phipps wasn't as bad today.

I agree, but hopefully Mitchell will get that speed back in the next months. His experience was evident, with a lot of involvement and strong defense.
Totally agree. The problem was created where no problem needed to exist.
Phipps still too slow between pick up of the ball (quick, I'll give him that) and actually releasing the pass (an interminable age at times). Too much faffing around with some passes. We really need Genia / White and A N Other fit and firing next year.
