    @Snowy when do you want this coat fabric bud?

    Was going to start with that guy with the 2019 tattoo That sort of jinxing is worthy.

    Still thinking about the rest of them. I'll start with the forwards then work smaller clothing from the backs.

    I have a small female pelt with a few blonde hairs left sticking out.

    Sorry, completely whooshed?

    @Snowy Goodhue still number one is his jersey globally by a country mile in my book...and the amount of number 2 jerseys after today in your team globally is still probably pretty high 😉

    Let's see how Jonathan Davies goes tomorrow

    My only complaint with Owens is that shoulder hit has been a card all cup. Not even a penalty is just a bad call. Not that we wouldn't have lost anyway.

    Agreed.

    But even if he'd gone perfect he couldn't ref the final 😉

    Who the fuck put this highlights package together?

    The stare down of the Haka was important but over a minute of a 4.30 highlight instead of the lead up to the English try.

    You had one job.

    It was Kieran Read's birthday today, certain one he will try to forget.

    Sadly some of us will remember it, as well as trying to blank it out.

    It's not about that though. It's just as a fan it rubs you wrong when you think of the inconsistency.

    I thought it was a YC and was being sarcastic about no final.

    I was seduced by our performance in the QF, but our forwards couldn't make inroads up front today, and everything fell apart from there. England's defence suffocated any chances we created, and they placed an assertive posession game that we couldn't compete with. We were lucky the score was not worse for us

    The most annoying thing was the lack of composure. We had to steal that game despite being outplayed...but each half-chance was buried by a forced offload, not avoiding touch etc. Other than not starting Cane, I don't see any other forwards in NZ that could have changed the pack for the better. BFA and maybe Laumape of all people might have helped in the backs.

    Think 2020 should be about rebuilding, starting with looking at some up and coming talent for the pack.

    Cane's exclusion was baffling, why mess with the blossoming combination of Read, Savea and Cane? Our forwards failed to go up the guts which was a smart play, we seemed obsessed with spreading it wide even though that wasn't working. Not sure that's personnel, rather tactics

    Yeah I have to say I was getting angry pretty early in the game thinking of Shags words about wanting height and us being so ineffectual at the lineout.

    I was so simple in my wanting cathartic release.
    I walked home from the stadium through deserted dodgy areas, no mugging.
    I went to a standing bar, got thoroughly re-drunk, yelling “fuck” at the ceiling once in a while. Much to the amusement of locals.
    Then I went down to the riverside with a couple of drinks and cigarettes, found a gang of teenagers hanging out causing trouble. Sat down close to them, and when I got eye contact... gestured to the litter-mess they'd caused. They cleaned their shit up, and left.
    What do I need to do to get beaten up in this country? I just want my body to feel like my mind does.

    Eddie's press conference:

    Interesting that he talks about preparing for this game for two and a half years.

    I don't think Hansen and co. realised how much the England forwards had improved and what a threat they would be.
