RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

[sparky]

England Vs New Zealand in the RWC Semi Final. It's happened before.....

No one who saw Jonah's brilliant quartet of tries in Cape Town will ever forget them.

[Bones]

You're welcome.

Markets opened with NZ 6.5 point favourites

Woohoo. We're in it ...l

Same team?

Same team as long as no injuries or niggles, pretty much the standard in knock out rugby

[Blackheart]

The real final.

Nah. SA will be worthy finalists as well.

I am more concerned about this English side than I was Ireland.

Although I don't expect we will play as dumb as Aussie did to let England get away.

Should be a cracker!

When are ref appointments announced...I'd say high odds us getting Garces next week 😬

They have to get past 126.8 million Japanese first.

Could he be any worse than Owens was last night? Dont answer that...... Owens let them loose in the breakdown and let them off at least two or three dangerous cardable offenses. Meanwhile he pinged us increasingly for all manner of indiscretions, even one he made up to send Todd to the bin!

The scores are eerily similar, but the numbers hide the manner of each victory

@canefan I will answer

Not one of Owen's best, missed a fair bit, but still an average Owens is better than Garces and his mate on a good day.

If we had him again I am sure he would be better too

[Victor Meldrew]

Personally, I'd just bloody love Farrell to play the same shit way Sexton did today.

That, and a win, would be awesome.

Betting syndicate partner is probably more accurate than "mate".

[Machpants]

@canefan as I said to an English mate

We'll see your 40-16 Vs world number 7, and raise you a 46-14 Vs world number 4 😉 see ya next week, should be a cracker!

Get on board early, there's a lot of you clambering onto this bandwagon this morning.

[Snowy]

In the last decade England have come to NZ for one tour and lost all three IIRC?

Every other match was EOYT when we usually aren't at our best and were all at Twickenham? They won one of them I think?
