The whole nation expected 3 in a row,love the media meltdown at the moment. Haha enjoy your day. Are they giving respect to England’s performance or is it more that NZ under-performed? To me it looked like they didn’t know what hit them....literally. I can’t recall such a fantastic defensive display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White and Ayling are tied for third. A sign of us being on top but just couldn't quite kill them off. Their keeper’s saves were outstanding. Fletcher first half tip over, Harris’ top corner curler and Palmer’s shot were all full-stretch excellent saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 All round top performance from the team. Some great chances to win it but then so did they. Iorfa and Hutch were very solid, Fox impressive again and Nuhiu was a hand full. Pelupessy got caught out few times but overall, a decent performance.

Andrew_Owl Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Voted for Iorfa, thought they were all around the 8/8.5 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNHARKES Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Actually delighted with that performance we gave everything against a good side. Dominating the second half and did enough to win. Iorfa was a man mountain again love him, but gave it to Fox just marginally who was outstanding against Costa. I take my hat off to Fox he has silenced alot of people and worked harder than anyone pre season possibly superb attitude. Big shout out to Hutchinson who was excellent at CB (his natural position for me!) Also Bannan,Fletcher played superb as did all the team. Lots of positives.

The Dukeries Owl Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Iorfa for me, reminded me of a Viv Anderson in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t recall such a fantastic defensive display. Yep you're right, our fast start really got them on the back foot, when you starve beauden barrett of any ball it helps maintain control. Plus underhill and curry are just unreal as a pair and the real find of the world cup. Big game next week and there's loads of south Africans around auckland so hopefully chance of another gloat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapeworm Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Westwood - 8. Great to have him back. Palmer - 7. Solid and decent effort 1st half. Iorfa - 8.5. MOTM for me - excellent. Hutch - 8. Showed why he is a CB. Fox - 8 - Solid performance and great block! Bannan - 7. Wasteful at times but always our creative spark. Pelupessy - 4. Not good enough I’m afraid. Reach - 7. Much better from Adam. Driving forward with intent. Harris - 7. Few bright moments but didn’t see enough of the ball. Fletch - 7. Thought he had a poor 1st half despite the great effort. Strong 2nd though. Nuhiu - 7. Same as above. Poor 1st but a real handful in the 2nd. Subs Lee - 7. Not enough time but showed more than Joey in 10 mins. Fernando - 7. Need him in the starting 11 somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the most limited player in that Xl but he gave his all and did a very decent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hard to call between Iorfa and Fox I went Fox for having the strength of character to rise through the abuse he’s had from the terraces and put in another strong performance, both defending and attacking Some wonderful crosses, but even better blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would agree that Pelupessy was the worst of our players. but not by much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
