RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

reprobate

Oh good, we are back to kicking the ball away. Chop your leg off beauden.
Well played jack goodhue. Pretty shit from everybody else.

I think the game breakers for NZ are starting to play as individuals. Not a good sign.

Anyone got anything positive to make me feel better? Anyone?

Great first half display from England. NZ getting into a bit of an arm wrestle up front and conceding a lot of turnovers. Lineout completely malfunctioning. They need to get back to their offloading game to open the English up.

It's still just 10-0 and it should be a lot more. We know NZ can score tries in the blink of an eye but they're looking pretty lethargic today.

Was that Mounga with the missed tackle that led to first try?

They need to relax and trust their instincts, go for it

@Tim first 10-15 minutes of the 2nd half is going to be defining..

taniwharugby

Wonder what our missed tackle numbers are like...unprecedented?

kev

@Steven-Harris it’s all about those 10 mins

Mokey

No ifs or buts, we have to score first in second half.

Gunner

You know what makes it worse when the ABs are playing like this?

The bloody missus telling me to stop yelling at the tv.

Grrrrr, not helping.

Yes

Preston just did a HT analysis on how England are exposing him

BerniesCorner

run and offload or lose

Tim

@Steven-Harris Absolutely. If they get a penalty (3 - 0) they'll be home. If we score a try (0 - 7) it's all on.

If Steve Hansen can turn this around, he'll be beyond a legend.

I reckon AB's not committing a lot to rucks, and in doing so keeping their powder dry for the second half. Be interesting if Eng score first in the second half.

chimoaus

Look at that first kick off, at least a metre over the line and so many in front of kicker, that needs tidying up.

The game is still in the balance if we score any points first in the second half.

That could well be a bloody big "if"
