RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

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.

Haven't seen an ABs team beaten up for 80 minutes like that since the 1991 Semi Final.
A great one-off? Part of a fantastic RWC campaign by Eddie and co? Or the start of an era of England dominance?

@Billy-Tell He's so much better than Bridge. When has that clown beaten a defender with pace in this tournament?
Bridge just gets to the tackle fast, no evasion at all. Good at tacking high balls, and chasing kicks. Nothing else.

Well that's something at least. what were moody, Taylor, laulala, retallick, whitelock, Barrett, savea and read good at?

Hanson and co got their selection badly wrong. Reece is just too small. Bridge was ordinary. With Barrett as well the back three was unbalanced. So if Reece is on 1 wing (I just don't rate him though) select a power winger on the other one
It was a poorly selected team and the England coaches totally and utterly out-coached and out-selected Hanson and co
@Winger donāt have too many problems with backs. Apart from kicking game which is tactical. The forwards were average tonight. No hard hitting and ruck presence without Cane. Ardie is a runner. The ABs were cleaned out at lineouts and beaten up by energy of English who outlasted them.
If you are referring to Reiko he has been full of mistakes and really has let the selectors down.

Kearns, Barnes and the Foxtel panel are chuffed as hell. piston wristed gibbons.
@allblackfan2 Its going to get very painful

Breakdown was the downfall. AB's couldn't handle rush defence. We played trash. England just played so well. Clinical as fuck. AB's didn't deserve shit.

Fuckin' John Mitchell. I should have ran him over when he went for his runs past my house.

He shouldn't be an AB. Anyway goodbye to Hanson and hopefully Foster and all the other coaches and selectors involved. NZ have wonderful players. we just need to find another competent head coaches (like Henry) who can combine the best players around the country (rather than mainly relying on just one team) .

Must be the summer for... ... tennis? tiddlywinks?

I keep cycling through the first three stages of grief - shock, anger, despair...too soon to move on to acceptance just yet. But the sun will come up tomorrow, I will be wearing my AB's shirt on my morning stroll with the dog in my local Brisbane park...and once I manage to move to that fourth stage I will be barracking for the Saffa's tomorrow.

Hats off to Eddie Jones.
He has coached every single one of the England 23 to be better players than they were four years ago.
-
We didnt even make one decent scoring opportunity, Scored from their lineout mistake. Monstered. Im in a state of shock

Iāve rarely felt so physically sick during a match.
The danger is we treat that as our final. -
Missed players like Mckenzie and Rieko today, capable of breaking lines
Also poor decisions from Hansen: not picking owen Franks, Ben smith not even in the 23 (why the fuck Jordie Barrett??), putting Barrett instead of Cane, and always picking Sonny Bill in the 23 (he had a great game against Namibia... that's it) -
