Potent Pommies pulverise imperfect All Blacks
1 Dec 2012
MARK KEOHANE writes that England, at least until the teams next meet, are in the penthouse and all of New Zealand’s rugby world champions will be made to feel like home for the next six months is closer to the shithouse.
England won a Test that was more a non contest 38-21 and they won it in a manner surely only their players could have believed was possible.
England also ensured international rugby remains a game of hope for those who play the All Blacks and not merely an opportunity for the game’s self proclaimed Messiah to deliver an exhibition of the supposed idealism of the game.
The rugby gods have a way of ensuring this is a game meant for mortals that appreciate the triumph and fallibility of mortals. New Zealand, in recent weeks, bemoaned the imperfection of their mortal performances and turned their attention to an indulgent and self-absored inner search for rugby immortality.
It was painful to listen to how no win was good enough as the game’s best players bemoaned their vulnerability in making mistakes, but it will never be as painful as the beating inflicted on them by an England team apparently lacking in ambition, belief and of inferior playing pedigree.
The All Blacks, strained at the continued imperfections of every Test victory, spoke of finishing the year with the perfect performance but got only to know the feeling of a non-performance.
No English team has ever been as uncharitable, brutal and belittling when hosting the All Blacks. How wonderfully entertaining of the English to finally show some mongrel and to do it with a poise more befitting of the pending immortals wearing black.
England played as if sent by the gods to remind the All Blacks that reward comes from beating the opposition and not the romantic notion of a perfect rugby performance.
Playing the perfect game will never be possible, but the All Blacks who took a beating at Twickenham will know there is something like the most painful game.
Celebrate England and smile. The result was perfect, which is very different to a performance assessed on a belief that it has to be perfect.
The sport needed this result as much as the All Blacks needed a reminder that beating the opposition is still the greater reward and reason to play the game than the self indulgent notion that victory comes not in who they beat but in their ability to play the perfect game.
Players, who have made New Zealand the best team in the world in the last 20 months, will never know what it feels like to be perfect in 80 minutes of Test rugby, but they certainly will speak with authority about how it feels to be pulverised and made to feel pedestrian, pathetic and pulverised.
England, expected to play with passion but no poise, precision or perfection, were ruthless, adventurous and never reckless in taking the game’s champs and for 80 minutes treating them like chumps.
The hosts, heroic and inspirational, led 15-0 at half-time in the most emphatic domination of the All Blacks in the history of the two teams. Don’t belittle what England achieved. Not since Jonny Wilkinson kicked the most famous drop goal in English rugby to win England the 2003 World Cup has a nation had as much reason to feel so bloody good on a Saturday night after a Test match.
This was never a contest. In the context of the 80 minutes New Zealand were fortunate not to concede 50 points.
It would do every England player a disservice to speak of New Zealand player fatigue as the reason for the defeat, and it would also do England a disservice to want to read anything beyond the 80 minutes into the performance.
This match needs to celebrated for a result that balances the world order, even if only temporarily, but more importantly for 80 of the finest minutes in England’s professional rugby history.
It reminded me of Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson as among sport’s greatest upsets. The more the England backs trampled over the limp New Zealand defence, the more surreal it seemed. It was a beating of the most emphatic nature and it showed what is possible in any one-off contest where adventure and belief match the physicality and commitment.
New Zealand in the professional era average just over one Test defeat a year. This was it. The unbeaten Test run of 20 ended with a knockout, but it was the All Blacks who were floored. Ultimately it may prove that the most humiliating of defeats proves the most inspiring of results in the push for a successful defence of the World Cup in 2015.
England’s win was their first against the All Blacks and Springboks in 20 Tests so there is no crisis in New Zealand rugby and there certainly should not be any talk just yet of England being world champions in 2015.
Celebrate what is possible when it all comes together for a team in 80 minutes. Call it magnificent and don’t be shy in using every bit of purple praise to commend a performance and a result that is a contradiction of the player pedigree of the sides and certainly of the results in the last two seasons.
England’s players will believe it is possible to win, even against the might of the All Blacks. And New Zealand’s finest will know it is possible to lose, even against a youthful England.
Twickenham on Saturday will be mentioned every time a team is dismissed as a challenger to the world’s best in New Zealand. It will also be the reminder to every All Black player and every New Zealand supporter that if the professional game’s two greatest players Richie McCaw and Dan Carter could so decisively be pummeled in 80 minutes, no match can be assumed safe on the basis of the black jersey and previous performances.
New Zealand produce the quality of England’s finest moment since 2003 three matches in four. Their domination of the game and standards of excellence often mean that their finest matches are not given the necessary accolades because of all the talk of playing the perfect game.
Perhaps New Zealand’s public will again appreciate what constitutes a fine All Blacks win because they again know what it feels like to be humiliated on at least one Saturday in the Test calendar year.
I expect there to be humility in the post match talk from both camps. England will talk of the need to back up this type of all-round win against the very best and deliver consistently in big tournaments. New Zealand can’t but acknowledge this was a day in which they g0t whipped in every aspect of the game.
New Zealand’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad peaked with the most decisive last 40 minutes against the Springboks at Soccer City. It was a match that defined the quality of the world champions. Twickenham will be the start of a building towards a younger side for New Zealand. That is not a bad thing because what Saturday showed is that if the legs are not there no amount of wisdom, experience of historical brilliance can guarantee a winning result.
England were passionate in everything they did, accurate, clinical and crushingly brutal in the collisions. The result and the flow of the game would have surprised no-one had the winners being wearing black.
Give England their due. On this particular Saturday, All Blacks wingers Cory Jane and Julian Savea were as good as they have been all year. For the rest England won at the scrum, the lineout, field position, ball possession and most importantly in every collision. They advanced metres. The men in black were manhandled and carried back with as much ferocity.
The black jersey is again the cape of mortals. Hooray for that.
The 2015 World Cup again has an appeal. Nothing can ever be taken as a given when World Cup glory is determined in 80 minutes.
England have players capable of playing rugby as it was meant to be played. New Zealand, the bench mark of excellence, have players capable of taking a beating. The challenger played with the authority of the champion and the champion with the confusion and bewilderment of a mere pretender taking a pounding.
Take away the identities of the players and the two teams and reflect on the rugby. It was deserving of a standing ovation.
England believed and the All Blacks were never given a chance to not believe. The blows, all legal, were landed in the first collisions and sustained for the duration of the contest. New Zealand were never in this game and the momentum was always with those blokes in white.
England flanker Tom Wood was named Man of the Match but centre Manu Tualigi will remember this day as the one in which greats were made to look like greying pensioners. England’s triumph was New Zealand’s humiliation.
Carter played with the hesitation of a general who wasn’t fit enough to be in battle. Not even the finest are exempt if the mind knows the body is bleeding. Not even the greatest of them all McCaw could match the intensity of England, individually or collectively.
The All Blacks, beaten up for 50 minutes, countered with a flurry that historically would have be followed by a fundamental lesson that this is a team that can be dazed but never regarded defeated. Jane’s footwork and fighting qualities inspired 14 points.
England, 15 points clear and on the rampage, suddenly led by a point and the assumption was the last 20 minutes would be theirs by default more than design. Every other opponent has imploded at the ease with which an hour of control is undone within three minutes.
England’s players, unlike every other opponent in the last 18 months, simply played with greater adventure in response to New Zealand’s terrific two-try cameo and scored a brilliant try of their own. The confidence of England led to more chaos within New Zealand and the reality of circumstance for once proved more influential and defining than the mystique of the might of the black jersey.
England believed they could not lose. The All Blacks knew this was a day they could not win. They were courageous in trying to summon something but England’s reward for refusing to succumb to history and play the situation on merit was the most comprehensive English win in the history of battles between the two countries.
There was nothing fortunate about the win, but there was something particularly fabulous. England played the near perfect blend of rugby New Zealand talks about, in appreciation for width but with precision and not recklessness, in respect of 80 minutes and not 60 and with regard to an opponent who never lacked in desire but never threatened to terrorise.
This was a day when England looked like a team of wonderfully conditioned international rugby players and New Zealand looked bemused, battered and beaten by the refusal of a team to be beaten by a jersey worn by players who had not lost in 18 months, but who on the day were taken a beating.
The best team won at Twickenham on the basis of 80 minutes. Enjoy it England because while no one can say it will be a once in a 100 performance against the world’s best it certainly was a once in 20.
As for New Zealand it was a once in 21 defeat.
Perspective? Not just yet.
All of England deserve to boast about this one. It was that kind of demolition job.
And all of New Zealand should replace the patronising talk of the All Blacks being a team in search of playing the perfect game to a team that was painfully pulverised in their last game.
Perspective? Not for the weekend at least.

@Heavens Game-647:
lol
So after one loss against England you think it is time to leave…. wow.
I think maybe you guys should leave. That’s all you talk about.
2 Dec 2012, 22:45 pm
@Hurricane-651: England played well… ABs played badly…
However, the greatest contributor to England winning was the officiating at ruck time…
Fair officiating at ruck time and even England, who lost to a very below par Oz and Boks in two consecutive weekends, could dominate the ABs…
Funny that… It certainly makes me think about this great game and referee machinations at International level… And the more I think about it, the more I realise how Paddy OBrien has shamed this great game.
2 Dec 2012, 22:45 pm
A bad trend has been revealed with our lack of a good tight 5.
There have been 4 times we were beaten up in the front.
Ireland in Christchurch, SA in Dunedin, Argentina in one match and now England.
The difference in the England game was our backs also looked lost.
We couldn’t rely on our backs shutting them down as we were dropping off important tackles and leaving very large whole in the backs. Conrad is normally our rock in defence in the backs but he had a bad game, missing tackles that he never really shouldn’t, especially as he is our safety measure in the backs.
So back to the tight 5…Ireland,Argentina and SA came up against an AB backline that made up for our average at best tight 5. Against England the Backs played defensively below par and we got hammered.
Our Tight 5 needs sorting which makes me a bit worried. Especially with Hansen being found out a few years with the forwards when GH had to take over the forwards for a bit a Hansen messed it up. Lets hope Hansen can sort this mess out, if not we have to realise that any team that can better our tight 5, we need our backs to fire defensively and on offence.
And something else to look at, do we even have a good tight 5 combination in the country.

@Heavens Game-652:
Read 653.
Nothing to do with refs.
2 Dec 2012, 23:20 pm
hehehe
this whole angle by HG about POB is hilarious, was POB head of refs for the last 20 years?
try hard of note really
up your game HG, surely you can do better then this?
2 Dec 2012, 23:30 pm
@Hurricane-653: Your back row got out played as well. Read was brilliant, but Richie got out played and I don’t know if I even heard Messem mentioned once in the game?
All Blacks need Kaino back big time. I reckon Romano and Whitlock are a decent enough 2nd row combo and the Franks brothers along with Crocket will win front row battles more often then they lose. Keep it Crusaders and you should be fine.
2 Dec 2012, 23:37 pm
@poppa69-655: Hmmm, nice whine… Normally drink beer, but am really enjoying this.
2 Dec 2012, 23:38 pm
@Hurricane-653:
While I do agree with most of your post, I don’t think you guys should be reading too much into this one loss.
Not quite the time for introspection, it happens, not that often to the AB’s, but it does happen.
You have always played with the assumption that it doesn’t quite matter if the opposition scores 3 tries, we’ll just score 6, that’s what makes it so nice to watch the AB’s and it just didn’t quite go to plan this weekend.
3 of those games you mentioned you won, and only the Ireland game was really tight, but although the forwards may not have had the upper hand, they still produced enough quality ball for the backs to play with.
This was a new experience for the SANZAR countries and the longest season ever for all 3 sides, so maybe it was also just one game to far for the AB’s as well.
I would venture to say that like us, you need a plan B as well.
Our sides on the different sides of the spectrum, ours is defense orientated and your’s attack.
If those 2 game plans can be amalgamated it would be potent.
2 Dec 2012, 23:39 pm
@Hurricane-654: The problem is, your ABs played like Blues more than Chiefs…
Add some fair ruck reffing and you get a the walloping you deserve
2 Dec 2012, 23:51 pm
@HongKongSlong-656:
Richie was quiet and Messam was missing. But that was due to the fact our big boys were getting out hit at ruck time. Need to be more aggressive.
@nortierd-658:
Yep, it is only one loss and maybe i am reading too much into it,as you said one game to many and England came out firing on all cylinders from the whistle.
Maybe it was suppose to be
@Heavens Game-659:
Dont go down the road that its only fair reffing when the ABs lose cos we all know that is incorrect.
2 Dec 2012, 23:52 pm
@Heavens Game-659: you don’t seem to be giving much credit to the English. It sounds like you’re suggesting any half-decent team could put 38 points on the ABs if they had the same reffing as last night. I would argue that it was less about the ref and more about the English playing better than anyone else has for quite some time
3 Dec 2012, 00:48 am
It’s interesting to note the silence from self-respecting Afrikaners on this English victory.The Saffas rejoicing are mostly English speakers with strong links to England …as well as immigrants.Very interesting indeed.
3 Dec 2012, 01:42 am
ah HG
you really are losing it
I’m not whining at all. we got beat and badly too
unlike you, im here when my team loses
But that’s a feeling you know too well, it’s a rarity for us kiwis that we just don’t have the same level of experience you guys have in respects to a loss
run along now, you’re a one trick pony who should be put down for your own benefit
3 Dec 2012, 02:15 am
Still hurting I see, my dear little poppadoos?
3 Dec 2012, 02:27 am
@whatever-664whose hurting? we lost a game of rugby, big deal.
I should look to your example, youve obviously got used to losing seeing as your team and your life is all about being a loser..
55% versus 85% hahahahahaahahahaahaha bok rugby is dinosaur k@k.
now run along meathead, you havent licked all the windows on the special needs bus yet
3 Dec 2012, 02:29 am
@wnbb-662:
Bit like kissing your cousin…it’s lekker but you feel very guilty about enjoying it…so you just keep quiet!

suck it up loser
hahahahahahaha

@Slartibartfast-666:
he’s also analysed how many wit okes, brown okes, Indian okes and chinese okes also celebrated the Pommie win in SA…….results out later……he’s areal genius old capo…….all that info from a few posts, wow!
3 Dec 2012, 02:32 am
@whatever-667: here fishy fishy..
one loss in 21 games, yep, we know whose really hurting..
3 wins in 18 tests versus the australasians, no wonder you guys take such delight at rare AB losses..
you guys just cant do it, even the Aussies have made you their biyatches, now thats not sad, thats pathetic, but not unusual for a tier two rugby nation..
3 Dec 2012, 02:33 am
@Hurricane-322: Boks will beat AB’s next year – their defence has been shown to be coming on in leaps and bounds, and next year with some of the first choice players back, and more competition for places in teh backline, expect to get beat. We should have beaten the AB’s this year in Dunedin, but for Morne tying his kicking shoelaces the wrong way around.
3 Dec 2012, 02:36 am
@SjamBok-670: shouldve wouldve couldve
DIDNT..
1 win in the last 8 tests versus us, its this delusion that sees Saffa rugby stay where it is, middling to mediocre..
heard all these brave predictions before
and seen them fall flat repeatedly… if you guys could actually match your arrogance and bravado evident on this blog about how youll beat us, maybe one day you will..
3 Dec 2012, 02:38 am
@poppa69-669: The last aussie game the Boks put them in their right place – with our forwards smashing them, and the backline cutting them to shreds. We expect that formula to continue next year.
Also, our 2nd choice forwards are now playing as a better pack than the first choice ones were last year, and better than the AB’s pack with a bunch of rookies. We had more visits to your 22 than you did to ours in our game sthis year, but could not make it count with our backline. And we should have won in Dunedin if Morne had his kicking boots on. And our defence is becoming better than the AB’s. Next year, with first choice players coming back, and Fourie du Prees and Jacques Fourie available, the backline will start firing as well.
I believe that the AB’s should be very worried.
3 Dec 2012, 02:42 am
@SjamBok-672: you mean the depleted Aussie side? the team you shared results with? a team that managed to beat Argentina twice when you guys couldnt, even though your young pack played better then the other teams in the championship? you guys still came 3rd, which would have been last if it was the 3ns..
hahaha delusional see…
7 wins from 12, and should have lost the 2 draws except for some very lucky moments..
as for Dunedin, we played very poorly and still won… then in SOweto, when you guys had the ref in your back pocket, we outscord you two points to one..
considering our players played 14 tests this year compared to your 12, we still lost less games then you…
but okay, will “believe it” when I see it, at the moment its all conjecture with no substance, as results over the last 3 years have proven..
3 Dec 2012, 02:43 am
@poppa69-671: You cannot honestly say that you have not watched the Dunedin test with some concern (despite winning) or the development of the Bok defence on the NH tour with some more concern. We had the worst injuries this year in a long time, (not even Australia’s were worse), and the most inexperienced Bok squad in about 10 years.
Yes, could woulda shoulda I know. But there are real steps there for building a solid Bok foundation, and if Meyer stays for the next 8 years, and has his way with the processes that he wants, that Bok foundation will be there at least for the next 15 years, as part of the standard processes, for next Bok coaches to work with. But God help us if he gets fired inexplicably for stupid political reasons.
3 Dec 2012, 02:53 am
@SjamBok-674: we have had many poor performances this year, Ireland second test, Dunedin, against Eng, Aussies in Brissy etc… I have mentioned earlier thAt I am not sold on Hansen as a coach yet, he inherited a great team and this loss, his first, will give us fans an indication of whether he is really the right man for the job…
SA did have many injuries, NZ had a few in 2009, it happens and cant be used as an excuse.. if anything you guys have built depth this year, so too the Aussies.. but we have also blooded quite a few new players, Smith, Savea, Cane, Retallick, Romano, Faumuiana, Coles etc..
you learn more about youngsters after a loss, so this loss to Eng imo may be a blessing for us
AB/Bok clashes will always be special, but Meyer has proven he is very much a novice at this level, will he grow into the role is the real question..
3 Dec 2012, 02:58 am
@SjamBok-670:
Thats good and well pointing out Morne but he has won you guys a lot of games with those shoes.
@SjamBok-672:
The Ozzies this year are not the team they were last year or the team they will be next year. They have had alot of injuries and more disruption in their team than the ABs and the Boks. FDP coming back may have is benefits but i dont think he will make that big of a change.
3 Dec 2012, 03:08 am
@whatever-668:
Ja we call him Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for short…
3 Dec 2012, 03:46 am
Heyneke Meyer is a genius cant thank him enough for what hes done to Tom Youngs
Watched the game again Tom Youngs was superb! Ball carrying ability, line out, breakdown work
Hes going to get better and better. Hes only had 3 caps, Dylan Hartley has been talked up for so long and how he should be England captain but Tom Youngs has been sensational
3 Dec 2012, 05:16 am
Sjambok you poor sod, no-one can see into the future. Do you believe in magic?
3 Dec 2012, 06:10 am
@john123-678: you are in the business of talking up this tom youngs fellow too & never fail to mention meyer’s connection with his switch yet he was demolished by etzebeth 2 weeks ago…

robbiep strikes again…. on yer bike ricky….thanks for memories.
3 Dec 2012, 06:51 am
3 wickets in the first session, well done Proteas. Only 7 good balls needed from here on in…
3 Dec 2012, 06:56 am
Must be honest….I was rather ‘emo’ watching Ricky walk out…..and walk off. Robbie P ‘p # ss es’ in the faces of his detractors once more.
Cheerio Ricky, hope to hear you commentating soon.
3 Dec 2012, 07:05 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-683: clarke is adamant on making robbiep pay…shuffling up the pitch to dispatch the last two balla with venom…if we get clarke out early we on with a big shout

@Transformation-684: Clarke is a worry….a huge worry….. I’ve just realised I’m wasting posts on the wrong thread
I can’t neglect the hore, it just doesn’t feel right
3 Dec 2012, 07:26 am
Unfortunately missed most of the game due to work commitments.
Knew that the ABs were due to lose sometime but damn, why did it have to be to the Poms?
Now we’re never going to hear the end of it.
3 Dec 2012, 07:44 am
Yup hope SA can put those cheeky Aussies away!
To rugby. There is not too much to be read for the Boks on the Poms beating the AB’s except that they can be beaten, even by a young and on the face of it mediocre team without any super stars. Just get some basic factors absolutely 100% right. Set pieces, defence, ball retention and support. That is what I thought Henry was very good at; drilling solid, not gifted, players into reliability (think Weepu and Nonu). Then have a reliable kicker. Carter failed; AB’s failed. Steyn failed; Boks failed. The first two AB tries showed where they have the edge – support play and offloading.
Then, if the unchanged and battle weary Boks had played one more game, they could easily have been beaten, particularly if it was France. Even Italy could have surprised them.
The Weslh losing reminded me of the Boks. How many games haven’t we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when the team fails in the basics. In the Welsh case, basic marking in defence where the Aussies created a situation where they had a number advantage, used it and that was it.
That is where Meyer needs to wake up. Get good set peice coaches, drill basics then improve skills. Ja well and so to 2013.
3 Dec 2012, 07:56 am
A Kiwi and a Pom is the same thing and good to see either of them loose! The only better result would have been a draw….
3 Dec 2012, 08:26 am
This is a great article, I have for the last couple of months notice this attitude from NZ commentators and supporters. They just don’t seem satisfied with winning, they take it for granted. It has come so easy to them this year, I mean every team they have played this year has less test caps then them and less talent. Both SA and Australia had major injuries to star players.
The AB’s have played great rugby this year, but the truth is that this years RC was poor and the opposition was weak. Australia gifted them two wins and so did the springboks. And we all know the Argies did not have the momentum to beat them in 2012.
All in all an easy “after world cup year for the AB’s”, hopefully the Woblies and the bokke can bring more to the table next year.
Beating the All Blacks is simple when you do it right, be physical, accurate and attack when they are retreating…also defend like demons!
3 Dec 2012, 08:29 am
@poppa69-673: Our players still played 3 more currie cup games (last round match/ semi final and final). So maybe the 12 vs 14 games argument holds no water.
3 Dec 2012, 08:55 am
@poppa69-671: “arrogance and bravado”… coming from a Kiwi…
Excellent whine
Now where’s that cheese…?
3 Dec 2012, 10:29 am
@goodstuff-689:
Hard to be satisfied with winning on here, you will just get called arrogant.
3 Dec 2012, 10:34 am
@Hurricane-692: Because you sheepshaggers are arrogant…
Hubris awarded with a Pom rogering though…
I love Rugga….
3 Dec 2012, 11:19 am
@Heavens Game-693:
lol
Well after the sharks year and the boks, i understand you loved seeing England beat the team you so deperately want to beat.
3 Dec 2012, 11:20 am
The biggest problem with rugby is the inbalance of power in terms of success. The top 3 teams (SANZAR) rearly lose against the remaining rugby nations. This result was good for the game. England played complete rugby and it showed all the virtues of the modern game.
Hopefully SA and Aus will be more competitive in next year’s RC and make it more of a spectacle at the last weekend of the tourne.
But for now will enjoy my rugby break knowing the Stormers will be a force of note for the 2013 SR!
3 Dec 2012, 11:25 am
@Hurricane-694: Am happy with the Sharks year… Not worried about empty cabinet this year… However they need to kick on next year though.
No trophies next year will see tears… But that aint going to happen.
The Boks – another story… And yes, I have been reduced to schadenfreude provided by England… I thank none other than Meyer’s lack of imagination for this sad state of affairs…
Pitiful yes…
But I feel good nevertheless
3 Dec 2012, 11:27 am
Good summary of why the English won this game:
http://blogs.sport24.co.za/mclook/2012/12/01/what-to-make-of-the-england-victory/
3 Dec 2012, 11:31 am
@Heavens Game-696: You will know by the 5th week of SR if the Sharks have any chance winning the SR, because if they start as poorly as they did this year then forget about it.
Any SR team who wants a chance to win the title must secure a home final or at least a home semi. Otherwise they get blown away in the final (see Sharks vs. Chiefs).
This is obviously not a guerentee but it gives you a better chance but only if form is high entering the knock out stages.
3 Dec 2012, 11:32 am
@Heavens Game-696:
lol
3 Dec 2012, 11:39 am
@goodstuff-698: Stating the obvious… Sharks need a home semi at least…
They have a good draw, similar to Stormers this year… So, 2013 could just be the time the Sharks are no longer the definitive Best Team Never to Have Won Super Rugby…
