RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

@NTA gag reflex?

This one worries me a bit more England will be tougher nut to crack.
For This game The Ref whoever it is may have a big influence.
Eddie Jones will have targeted this game and how to beat us as soon as the WC draw came out.He has already done it to us before in a WC with Australia.
I still believe we will win but am on edge more for this game.
We win this game we win the WC in my opinion@Chris said in RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1):

While I agree with you in the sense that last week, I wasnt worried about Ireland, but was with England....as to that comment, do you not think our coaches have been working on plans to beat England as well, or were we solely focused on beating Ireland, even though we were previously thought to only be hitting them in the final.

We win this game we win the WC in my opinionPresuming South Africa get through, we may just be too tired and sore in comparison.

England Vs New Zealand in the RWC Semi Final. It's happened before.....
No one who saw Jonah's brilliant quartet of tries in Cape Town will ever forget them.

Pakman certainly won't. As I walked up the stairs in the stadium I was thinking that English were getting too confident, and thus ultimately dangerous, and we needed to give them a good spanking to keep them in their place. Five minutes later Jonah did his thing!
He also scored in pool game 1999 (best atmosphere I've ever experienced at Twickenham) following which Dayglo dropped a knee on him. The big man got up angry then clearly thought, 'You're not worth it'!
For completeness, I was also at first game of 1991 Cup, the only other time the sides have played.
So 100% and doing the right thing by getting my ass to Yokohama to ensure the record remains intact.

I want WR to make an exception for appointments this game:
Skeeny for TMO.
You know it's right.

Perfect chance to avenge our defeat in the 2003 semi final against the coach who was responsible for that defeat, John Mitchell.

Looking forward to a week of media here.
Haka-gate, refs in pocket gate, poaching gate, arrogant gate, cheat gate.
Bring it on!

Going to be fun reading the expert opinion columns.
Even more so after the ABs dispatch them.
Brace yourselves -

Get outta town! Fella at the club asked me a question about next week's game...I laughed nervously and went to say I'll be watching from a basement somewhere or something. Only thing is he jumped straight in after my laugh with "See it's arrogance like that!!"...

@MajorRage How could you forget Aura?
Good call. But I suspect it will be about missing / diminished Aura.
Mainly from the Sun, who tend to dust off their rugby scribes just in time every 4 years or so and then equally quickly stuff them back into hibernation for another few years. -

quickly stuff them
I can make some other suggestions where they should "stuff them".
