That's dumb. No way it was ever out

Stupid Waratahs!

No excuses there. Done like a dinner. Go Boks. Farewell Foster

[Frank]

Only a couple of English at my work, and they don't care about rugby.
However, I work with a LOT of South Africans - c'mon Wales!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even tell what our game plan was meant to be, because it felt like it was offloads and England just swarmed around the ball carrier cutting them off, and then outrucked us completely in the breakdowns since we weren't ready for them.

[booboo]

C'mon Bokke

Steve Hansen goes down as one of the shitter All Blacks coaches?

[ACT Crusader]

No concerns with that loss. We were outplayed and Eddie Jones did his thing.

Never got the criticism of Itoje because he’s played like this before. Well done that man.

Look forward to seeing the ABs one more time against the Boks.

[Derm McCrum]

Superb game and win by England.

Commiserations NZ.

Enjoy!

We never you know.

Too soon to pick next weeks 23?

[Victor Meldrew]

Never, ever, looked to be in that game.

Fairly typical of what we've seen often in the last few years - flaky under pressure, players played out of position, poor execution and dumb discipline.

Need a serious re-think at the top table.

[sparky]

Remember how much this bloody hurt.

[Donsteppa]

Complacency; Hansen and Foster should have been sent packing after the Lions and Chicago fiascoes.

[Disgusted of TW]

Comiserations to all you kiwis, your team let you down, but in fairness they never gave up. But that performance from England would have beaten anyone. Relentless.

The criticism of Itoje is NZ rugby fan arrogance at its best.

The cosmic ballet goes on

[Godder]

Some of the ABs have cuts on their faces - is that likely to be dodgy play in the rucks or just bad luck?
