    I love the respect that rugby players have for each other compared with their football counterparts. Eighty minutes slamming lumps out of each other, then hugs, handshakes, guards of honour and applause.

    Most footballers are softy-wofty spoilty-woilty thickos.

    I think you may have Chelsea in mind there, Ubes!

    From a Welsh person

    That was the most impressive and dominant performance I have seen on a rugby pitch. Great game plan from Jones...playing two no10s and two openside flankers, completely dominated the All Blacks. They could not get a foothold on the game. Everyplayer played to their maximum. No mistakes (Ok just the one stupid throwin) the defence was awesome and they took their chances, but did not take any chances that could have let the AllBlacks in to make a comeback.
    Brilliant 11/10 and 6stars

    Doesn't matter who you play next week, because playing like that the Cup is yours. I expect though you would perfer to play Wales, because SA will prove to be a very physical (and unlike the All Blacks match) somewhat dirty, nasty game. I do expect SA to do that to the injury-plagued Welsh team tomorrow, unfortunately.


    Finally to Uber, the Welsh referee Owens is the best in the business and had an excellent match. The game flowed and his decisions (actually the desicions of the TMO) were all correct.

    Nick Berry for me is by a mile the best ref in RU. Owens missed three big forward passes from the Kiwis today and for me his TMO team bailed him out when he missed the obstruction for the try.

    I didn't see the game but boy that is an impressive score line. Well done England and good luck in the final lads.

    Also, good luck to Wales tomorrow too Beth. An all Northern hemisphere final would be great.

    He did, actually, Vern, I was just having a laugh at the expense of the Welsh. There's lovely. :)

    (He did sound like Neddy Seagoon, though)

    The problem with Nick Berry as a referee is that he lets every loser win. :)

    Didn't have time to post after the game but that was one hell of a performance fro England....the back row were immense and Mario is a superb athlete...
    Not one player was anything other than brilliant....they did to the all blacks what they normally do to opponents....fabulous....

    Roll on next week.....

    Btw i thought Nigel had a decent game and clamped down on NZ infringements that they normally get away with.....right call for 1st disallowed try not so sure about 2nd...

    A fantastic collective effort from England, I couldn't see them beating the All Blacks let alone so comprehensively. England made them look ordinary and were unlucky not to win by a bigger margin.
