The All Blacks’ three-try-to-one triumph over England was marred by many wasted chances as the team struggled for the finishing touch due to mistakes and poor handling. When playing a lot of ball-in-hand rugby against England’s defence, the visitors ended up losing 23 turnovers.
They were unable to make England pay, frequently wasting the opportunity with mistakes or unrecovered kicks. However, they were able to find open pasture, frequently because to workhorse Wallace Sititi, who made three line breaks.
There were moments of bold rugby, like as when Will Jordan tried to offload from his 22 but failed to get Ardie Savea to run on his inside hip. The England attackers praised the turnover, which handed them excellent attacking ball. In addition to supporting his players’ instincts and decision-making, head coach Scott Robertson consistently said that rugby in New Zealand is about more than just that.
Robertson encouraged the reporters, “Do it, back yourself, if you see it.” “I believe it’s ingrained in our DNA and skill set; we want to play football, and if the opportunity arises, we will seize it.”We made several excellent attempts, but more significantly, we shown a lot of perseverance to remain in that from behind.
New Zealand’s deficit was partly caused by overplay attacking from within their own half gave England cheap turnovers and scoring opportunities, and their lone try was the result of an intercept by Marcus Smith that turned the tide of the match.
We haven’t trusted ourselves at times this year, you know. We shaped the backfield with a few new kicks. Later on, we were able to obtain some kick meters since some of them fell off and some did not.
However, in our game, it’s crucial to keep the ball alive. And although some did and some did not, we will continue to adjust it. “We’ll be honest in our review, even though we have the result, we’ll still go deep because some of the stuff isn’t good enough for test level.”
Despite down by eight points at one point, captain Scott Barrett was pleased with the team’s effort to keep attacking. He remarked, “I think we might have just played a little bit more than rugby than them.” “There were a few arm wrestles, but overall, I was happy with how we just tried to play, which gave us a chance to put ourselves in front of Mark.” They will need to improve, Robertson acknowledges as they go ready to play Ireland in Dublin on Friday.

“We need to improve our discipline and correct a few execution mistakes, but we must continue to create and show courage.” Even though the margins are narrow, we must undoubtedly improve.
