11-12 at halftime, England fortunate to be just a point down but having gone 0-12 after a bright start have clawed their way back after NZ dominated much of the half. Drop goals from Ford have set up a spicy 2nd half. Will England's replacements have the edge?...
Absorbing game....AB's look like scoring every time they have ball in hand, but England hanging in there..... All to play fir 2nd half....
Statement win against an All Blacks team ‘in development’ which according to Richie ‘born offside’ McCaw is not permissible, you have to be fully developed to play for New Zealand. Now Wales v Japan. Good luck Taff, let’s see Eddie crying into his beer.
Cracking good win by England from 12-0 down to look really good and only concede another 7 points while scoring 33 is some performance....
Great result for England, the match was a lot closer than the final score but we rode the storm and deserved the win. If we can sort the lineout which was our weakness here we will challenge the best...
We need a big improvement over last week but Jac is missing (until Feb I’ve been told). I know Steve Tandy. Lovely guy. I feel sorry for him that he’s taken the Wales job at this time. Hopefully, we can do something today but I’m not hopeful. Isn’t it a winner take all game viz a viz World Cup rankings?
And a stunning win against mighty Liechtenstein. They’ll be singing in the valleys tonight. 66% of my house breathing big sighs of relief while I smirk.
Just shows how poor we are currently in both sports I football 1 nil win over who? If you had said ten years ago that the players would be celebrating and jumping for joy after beating Japan in Cardiff by 1 point, they would have taken you away in a straight jacket.
