England Vs All Blacks

@Catogrande Freeman will be a loss if he’s unavailable. Would Cheesman start? Don’t think he’s in your top 2 locks.

@canefan of course they'll start him, probably with Holland and Lord dropping to bench.

Yup. Nothing like not being match fit, back from injury, and starting in our toughest game on tour. Oh and being a card magnet
-
@Catogrande 1973 as well - it really was a sequence!
I'd forgotten about 2002, which was the tour that Christian Cullen enjoyed so much. I think Ben Cohen gave us quite a lot of trouble in that game!

my memory is him rag dolling Blair in to touch like he was a child, and that snuffed out our final chance for an improbable win

Ben Blair. Ugh sigh

Kinghorn probably thought he was going to do that to McKenzie to be fair
-
Blair was running in quicksand that day. I think the best footy Blair played was after he left NZ. But I digress
The 02 and 03 losses were heartbreakers and looking back were against the best England side in our lifetimes!

If you think about some of the props, locks and loosies we haven't had over the past 5 years, at the moment everyday is a good day.
Foster had his shortcomings but he was brave to bring Vaa'i and Lord into the environment as 20 yr olds, those selections bearing fruit for the nation nowadays

I watched the full 2019 semi final between these two teams for the first time. That was an incredible performance by England. Hoping for something similar this weekend. Cant wait
Itoje probably played the match of his career. Curry and Underhill were dynamite.

What was so impressive was the way they just refused to lose. The problem is they can put out a performance like that … only every few years.. lucky for the rest of us.

@W32 I bet you enjoyed that one after we smacked your boys around in pool play, gave you yet another easy RWC title

It was a good game to lose considering the path after that….. it all went according to plan….
