RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)
-
Too many cute selections, cane not being there was a massive mistake. We didn’t play our best ten at ten, and Richies poor defence was ruthlessly exposed. All the things people have been worried about all year in evidence tonight.
Don’t mind losing to a better team, doesn’t mean we had to make it so easy for them.

On TV it showed AB forward pack heavier than England. Didnt look like it
BBBRs love handles were most of it

Well down to England. easily the better team
. Other who were not great include Taylor and Goodhue. Taylor was surprising out of sorts and Goodhue doesn't look fully fit still
Have to disagree. Goodhue was easily our best player.
So why was he taken off.

If I see another fucking pass to the ground...
Well done England, deserved winners by a very long way.

Brilliant
Thoroughly deserved
And if England had converted their opportunities it could have been a massacrePart one achieved.

Comon Wales! My families colours have changed from black to red tonight (Welsh ancestors).
If the boys can get up against SA my God they've got every chance of a first meeting with Bill. England were absolutely huge tonight, you could say they played their final a week early...

Just tried to get onto the Stuff website and received an error message ‘something bad has happened, please try again later’.
How ironic.
Well played England. We were humped. Not looking forward to life in London this week ...

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.

England were fantastic. Dominated the game. Good luck next week.

Planned replacement. They always bring SBW at that point.

The funny thing is we would have still been in it if we had relaxed and concentrated, eliminated mistakes.

I think getting owned up front started the rot ,
Reminded me so much of 03

Yeah. It was the relief as much as anything.
Firstly we weren’t shit. Then we won. -
@Kirwan Absolutely mate. Obvious mistakes that were baffling. How many times did we hear about the importance of experience under pressure, then it was dumped. Very 2003.

Yep, except Franks though. The exception that proves the rule
