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

    Would you call the 2011 final a dud product?

    That gamed need a product warning on it. My heart almost didn’t cope.

      @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

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

        It wasn't exciting at all. Fucking sucked. I thought I was going to die

          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!

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

              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.

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

                      @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.

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

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

                              Dunno, but I think they'd do better with 14 and uncontested scrums, than what they're doing ATM

                                I disagree that’s what rugby fans want. That’s what you want.

                                    Eddie spent two and a half years working out how to beat us.

                                    He didn't have time to watch your semifinal! 🙂

                                      To you, maybe. To millions others it’s a titanic battle.

                                        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

                                        And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

                                        England are better than Wales.

                                        Go back to basics. Pick & go. Commit and tire the Boks.

                                        Boks will give away penalties.

                                        Kick for territory.

                                        England win.

                                        It's not rocket science.

                                          @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.

                                          I disagree that’s what rugby fans want. That’s what you want.
