Up there with the best again...
No doubters giving credit where credit is due?
I thought he started spot on, then the box kicking got well dodgy.
It was England all over though.
A let off for New Zealand.
By the way I'd add it's no good just picking on Youngs, Farrell had some dodgy moments, Sinckler at the scrum, George and Itoje at the line out, all culminating in giving an underperforming All Blacks side enough of a sniff to grind out a good away win at Twickenham.
You are very harsh BFG. Youngs had an excellent game, as did Farrell (one kick off excepted) and Sinckler was a revelation, he has improved tremendously in the tight and his carrying in the loose was very good.
It was a really good England performance, just very fine margins or we would have won. But a great Autumn so far and we will mullah Japan and beat the Aussies I hope!!
Sinckler dropped one ball which he wasn’t expecting. I know every coach tries to drill every player into always expecting the ball but that is easy said and done, Itoje did such a good job of fooling the All Black defenders he ended up fooling Sinckler too .

Yes it possibly is harsh but England did lose and certain mistakes were easily avoidable.
Clearly they gave it a good go and it was a good game.
If that were England winning away in New Zealand I think we'd all be amazed.
I'm not sure how great an Autumn it is, a lot of pundits seem to think England got more out of Saturday's game but I disagree slightly as I think New Zealand were probing and changed up tactics on several occasions.
They wanted a look at England and Saturday was more of an experiment from New Zealand in my opinion.
