National anthems nicely sung. You can hear the crowd singing too!

Must be 4am in NZ also, everyone is still in bed and not at the ground!

morning all.

Not as poor as that bird who's just murdered the national anthem.

[Northern Eel]

There's more Tongans in the ground and we have an English ref AGAIN!

Right, onto the rugby...

Foran looks to have broken his arm, looks painful 

[Man of Kent]

Foran injured again, poor lad

Ta ta very much

GB double pinged. Let's see if Chris Kendal is consistent from here...

[OMEGA]

Selfish play from Hodgeson to give away that penalty

[Just Browny]

First five minutes, NZ were lying on at every play the ball. Annoying, but you think 'it is a test match, maybe he is just letting it play out'.

Then NZ look at Kendall twice and he blows up for two nothing penalties. FFS.

[Man of Kent]

Hodgson...poor choice 

[Just Browny]

Honestly, Bennett can off. 5m away and the play is a one-out run from Bateman. Genuinely despair at this sort of rugby, it's woeful.

One was for offside and GB have had one back.

Hastings really needs to inject himself a bit more

Agree but that was Hodgson’s call

[Man of Kent]

Kendall ends the debate about overcompensating...

Tight defence and 100% completion rate. Not exuberant, but I can see the plan. 

[OMEGA]

Poor decision to kick for goal, GB have just edged the attrition battle, forced the Kiwis into giving back to back sets away via penalties.

 

[Chrispmartha]

We’re playing well here, line speed good, good completion rate, were playing it patient which is the correct call IMO

[Pulga]

Kiwis unlucky there. Definitely didn't play at it.

[Wirral Warrior]

Dave Woods seems to be panicking......we are just getting more territory

[Northern Eel]

Great catch Jermaine!
