The Virtual Terrace • England v New Zealand 1st Test

Being fair to McGilvray he’s played well. Makinson has been superb but in a way he’s been forced to be. NZ have been avoiding kicking to Jerry with at a guess 90% of kicks heading towards Makinson. All teams tend to be better moving the ball to the left. I think those two combined helped give Makinson the opportunity to shine. He certainly has taken it.
Definitely seemed to be an NZ tactic kicking that way, I don't know if they fancied their winger in the air on occasions or was just testing Makinson out. Thought they might have tried the other way after he'd taken it safely so many times.
