NEW ZEALAND vs ENGLAND | TEST 2 PREVIEW

I supported England for the first time in my life last weekend. That's how much admiration I have for Felix Jones, I hope he will make the same impact in England as he did in South Africa.

I cannot believe i am watching your content every. single. day.

I think England's Achilles heel is their bench, and given the Eden Park fortress status, England will do well to lose by 1 score

As always, a pleasure to watch and listen to your analysis. Very knowledgable. Thank you for visiting our country. Enjoy!

As an AB supporter, I've enjoyed seeing SA in such a positive light. Refreshing indeed!

Interesting nugget for you. Salt Rock the British clothing is named after that Salt Rock where you are. Two saffas started the brand in Devon

As an Ireland man England look to be on the up, one to watch for next six nations

Kiwi here. Always enjoy your analysis. You are spot on with Reiko. Great athlete. Excellent left wing. Mediocre centre. No creativity. Would much rather have ALB at 13. Great defender, excellent ball runner and distributor…brilliant communicator. Also Reiko wouldn’t in my opinion usurp any of our current 4 wingers either. So it’s interesting what the new coaching regime will do there, as Jordie and Reiko have been trying to build that centre combination for a while now. Other changes…..possibly give Blackadder a go at 6. Papali’i is very polarising here in NZ…he’s not a traditional superstar 7 that we usually have here in NZ, and a lot of pundits would love to see Ardie go back to THAT position, and possibly give our “new big thing” Sititi a go at number 8. Big call to make in a big test match…but something to look for down the line. Finlay Christie our halfback not hugely inspiring also. All are just warming THAT seat for Cam Roigard to get back…as he is definitely something special. Beauden Barrett could potentially start at 15 this weekend too. Perofeta a nice foil off the bench covering 10/15.

South African recently moved to the UK wanting the UK team to be my 2nd team, will definitely listen to your input on the England players as well as the local rugby going on. Thank you for such great content.

Let's be honest...we will see the influence and genius of Felix Jones soon in this England team.

Felix jones definitely doing something

Tim has anyone told you about Bayete Zulu? 2 hours north of where you are and you can meet a family of elephants and touch them - absolutely unforgettable experience and I say that as a South African from Durban. Thanks for the videos!

England definately on the way up, but NEVER underestmate NZ

Agree with most of that. As an England fan I haven't felt this optimistic for years (maybe since the Ford/Farrell generation came through). With regards to the centres I still feel that Lawrence at 12 feels like a work in progress (I think he's great at 13) and that we could do with a 'natural 12' but he does a job. Regardless of whether we win or lose on Saturday I think the performance is more important than the result.

Its good news that all teams are stepping up, it will make the next world cup in Australia very interesting. Its good that all teams builidng now already, no matter if its win or lose, its the building factor.

No worries Razor carry on.. massive pressure about to be applied on Englands front row/ tight five. The All Blacks will keep it as tight as possible, scrum, maul, pick and go to try and wear down the English forwards. This should pay dividends in the later stages of the second half.

You can wax lyrical about England all you like, and rightly so, and even talk about NZ’s limitations, which are many, but there’s one thing NZ has that no other team in world rugby has, including SA, and that’s the ruthless bloody-minded intensity of a pack of ravenous wolves chasing after their prey, an intensity which England struggled to match in the last quarter.

Kiwi here. Really enjoy Gallagher prem and to me the English team reflects how good that comp is. Re NZ problems, agree on Jordy, never sold on Ioane at 13. Our back 3 don't need space. They need a one on one against a stationary defender. To me, NZ main issue is not taking the ball up route 1, up the middle with the forwards. Zero go forward. Going wide before that spells disaster. Same problems for the past 5/6 years. That's got me concerned. But, they dug deep and won a tough test. I think it's tactical rather than personnel issues, but that's just me

I'm not expecting to much of the ABS this year beat England, Australia, Argentina and a bonus if we steal a win in South Africa.. I'm looking forward to Peak Razor though. Will Jordan to take his rightful throne as the World Premiere Fullback, Mounga Back as Razors Lieutenant, Roigard giving us our much needed Running threat to finally counter the Rush D and Snipe putting the Defence well past the Ball. Fainga'anuku another champion under Razor to come back as a seasoned centre experienced from top 14. Then Our own Bomb Squad with Frizzell to return, Fabian Holland to become eligible giving as a big 6 foot 8 dutch lock, our young Massive Front Rowers to become Test hardend.
