Yes it was a very ordinary diplay by the Poms (that's an understatement) and the black jerseys are just all wrong for them -- very shallow attempt by the poms to garner some support playing in NZ. They were fortunate to get away with a narrow victory. Both teams played very negative rugby riddled with errors (despite the good conditions) and nobody seemed to be able to kick goals. Big alarm-bells ringing in the England camp this morning I'd think.
The other thing that annoyed me was that it was replayed so late in the night and consequently Ch 9 shoved 10 gazillion ads in there. Surely it could have had a much earlier slot and/or live on GEM or GO.
Very nice new all-weather stadium at Dunedin but its kinda sad that Carisbrook (aka "the house of pain") is now gone as a venue.
Best,
