England's kicking needs to be better.
Don't want to give NZ opportunities to kick a field goal.

I wouldn't blame NZ for being filthy with that last try being awarded.
But at the end of the day, they have themselves to blame. Their right edge was a liability defensively and they didn't fix it. All of England's tries came from attacking that right edge.
Just like in the first game, NZ were well on top early but they just couldn't maintain that and let England back in it.
I like what Bennett has done with this side. There was a time England would have crumbled under the pressure and lost badly, but they have become a tougher side under Bennett.
I can see them beating Australia now that the likes of Smith, Thurston, Cronk and Slater are all gone. The next WC should be very interesting.

He has been hit with a Grade D contrary behaviour offence, which carries a ban of between 3-5 games.
If he is found guilty, he will miss the next Test match. Any other games will then be served in the opening rounds of the Rabbitohs’ NRL campaign.

Good. Grubby shit bag. I hope they don't take the other player's word into consideration. It shouldn't be up to your bros on the field to say "Naaah he didn't do that, he's a good guy".

He's been suspended for 4 games.
He will miss the next test and the first three games of the NRL season.

Good. Hope his first game back he cops a finger in the eye from one of his dickhead brothers.

The contact on Proctor had no impact on that play. The try was being scored regardless. Discretion could have easily been used there.

I think this England team can win the next World Cup.
If it were this year, I would say no. But they are forming a good side and if they can build on this series and improve in certain areas, add in the fact they will have home ground advantage, then they can win it.

Come on, one of the NZ players has to go to the bin now.
How many penalties do they have to concede before a player gets sat down?
