It must be cricket season now.

I'm still seething from the CWC!! Agrh!!

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.

We didnt even make one decent scoring opportunity, Scored from their lineout mistake. Monstered. Im in a state of shock

[Nevorian]

Yeah. It was the relief as much as anything.
Firstly we weren’t shit. Then we won.

Far from shit, England were awesome.

I’ve 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)

Shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic.

Start and finish with Read.

@Entertainer15 disagree. We lost it in the forwards an with poor tactical kicking. Their forwards created go forward, won their lineouts and they were tactically miles ahead.

It’s going to be tough to get up twice to that level, look at us with Ireland. Boks have to be favoured

This. Their props, Itoje and Underhill were monumental. Easy to point fingers at outside backs but, as always, small numbers won it.

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.

Theres a Chiefs vibe running through this shambles , Mitchell, MacLeod and Foster . Lets not just blame Canterbury

They played like we are supposed to

I've always thought this RWC would be the Boks to win.

Never thought we'd win the thing, but had some serious hope after we mullered Ireland. That hope disappeared after 50 minutes

@Entertainer15 I think we have a Fern first that a new poster has quoted their first post for their second post.
