Match Day Thread England v New Zealand

[tigerscanada]

You Amatuer
I've nearly gone through a box of teabags

Aha, so it was you who put the 'T' in GreaT BriTain !
Wales next ?

 

[Cambstiger]

Some fantastic hits put in. Players just get up and play on, brilliant.

 

[dennisboothstash]

****ing brilliant!

Dominated the game from start to finish.

Incredibly tough athletes.

I hope South Africa batter Wales tomorrow

 

[Mr Hatem]

Well that was a pleasant surprise

Piece of cake.
That silly dance contained NZ's best moves.

 

[Quill]

Dominant. Would've been even better if TMO wasn't a ****.

Itoje was a man possessed.

Brilliant from England, wonderful performance to a man.

Incidentally I hadn't realised forward passes were allowed these days...

 

[Qatartiger Cambridgetiger]

Doesn't matter now but I still can't see why the second try was disallowed?

It was 'passed' forward in the maul, more like handed forward really. I suppose technically it's right but it just looks too harsh. I'm just glad it made no difference.

Very marginal though. I don't think NZ would have complained to much had it been given.

Only allowed if you wear black, same thing with blocking tacklers

Always great when you can look forward to a wor 'll d cup final, Brilliant result

I don't like that Welsh windbag ref...Good job England won or else he'd have been hung out to dry...How the hell was that deemed to be a forward pass?

PS...Great performance....All 15 + subs were magnificent.

 

[Chillo]

from someone who isn't into either rugby code

Well, because it went forward from one man's hand to another's, only a bit but forward.

 

[TIGERSCAVE]

But for one line out error, England would have held New Zealand to 0 in a World Cup Semi. Not a great fan of the game but when you see super athletes play at the highest level you can only stand or sit and watch in awe... maybe some football managers should put this game as motivation for their teams before a match..

Different rugby...

Tonga XV vs England, 8am BBC2

Only 100,000 people in Tonga but they must have a lot of good players. Not only are they playing England they have beaten the GB Lions at the same time. All the missing English players will explain why 3 Aussies are in the British Lions team.

There was a picture on TV of Farrell talking to the players at half time before they left the pitch. They were all listening intently. Don’t know what he was saying but by the look in his eyes no one would disagree with him.
