    The way the All Blacks play is what the market wants to see. This is a dud product.

    I’m loving this match. Is there not enough frills for you?

    I think the market is dominated by the northern hemisphere where the money is. I don’t think they are minding too much

      Odd post. Tough physical game that the ground and TV audience are enjoying

      Would you call the 2011 final a dud product?

        We won a WC 8-7 so I wouldn’t go too far down that line. Rugby can be trench warfare and be exciting

            Not an awful lot to talk about in that half. Both sides are better defenders than attackers, and so it played out. Some massive hits, and a period of great defense from the Boks on their own line, though all England really did the whole time was one off hit ups trying to just smash their way over.

            Hoping it opens up a bit in the 2nd 40. If the Boks score first then they'll go more than 7 ahead and England will have to take a few more risks.

                  The match is fine. Tough stuff can be gripping. I am enjoying it.

                  Feel sick that we aren't in it though. Shows how really poor we were last week.

                      @chimoaus Because England was parked in our backline. Because World Rugby has cynically decided not to police the offside line anymore because that’s how you beat the All Blacks

                          If Boks scrum keeps dominance itnis hard to see how they lose.

                          Hard to see how they won't keep dominance, with Kitshoff, Koch and Snyman to come off the bench and Cole going to tire!

                              Cole to cop an injury? Does test rugby play man off? (I.E. the team that forces uncontested has to play with 14 players)?

                                    But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

                                    England can.

                                    England need to get tighter not looser.

                                      @sparky Yes. To you rugby tragics, trench warfare is great. For 80% of the viewing public, they want to see ball movement, sweeping backline moves and tries.

                                        Wonder what the odds are of Eddie taking a page out of the Italian's playbook and stitching up uncontested scrums?

                                        That would be pretty smart, only one prop away

                                        Within the rules so yes, smart, but not good for the game, needs tinkering IMO.

                                          But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

                                          England can.

                                          England need to get tighter not looser.

                                          SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control
