RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

[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.

“Are you Scotland in disguise” ringing out in the pub.

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.

That's dumb. No way it was ever out

Stupid Waratahs!

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?

[Rapido]

Totally outplayed.

Lucky to get 7, lucky to only concede 16.

England fantastic. Us some parts not allowed to play, other parts a bit crap or naive.

[Tim]

@MiketheSnow Bullshit, he dropped ball, he beat no one, he threw a stupid offload in his 22. I'm right and I have been for three years.

It doesn't really , it wasn't France being freaks or a ref being out of his depth. We just watched a great side beat us

[reprobate]

Good fucking job. That was fucking pathetic: strategically, tactically, effort and execution. Horrible to watch.

[Victor Meldrew]

Just imagine if SA win tomorrow and Wales beat us in the 3/4 play-off...

[Tim]

@SammyC Absolutely. Pathetic comments during the week about him.

[Paekakboyz]

Well played England. Shut us down and just kept up the pressure. Shithouse result but they didn't let us fire a shot. How about our line out aye? Fuck...

[chimoaus]

Might be getting easier as I get older but I’m not that unhappy, looking forward to tomorrow’s game and watching the final as a neutral.

[Mokey]

@Victor-Meldrew Not ruling it out!
