The way the All Blacks play is what the market wants to see. This is a dud product.
Would you call the 2011 final a dud product?
Yes, result was ok tho

Not an awful lot to talk about in that half. Both sides are better defenders than attackers, and so it played out. Some massive hits, and a period of great defense from the Boks on their own line, though all England really did the whole time was one off hit ups trying to just smash their way over.
Hoping it opens up a bit in the 2nd 40. If the Boks score first then they'll go more than 7 ahead and England will have to take a few more risks.

That gamed need a product warning on it. My heart almost didn’t cope.

T-Bag and ending were pretty good though.

We won a WC 8-7 so I wouldn’t go too far down that line. Rugby can be trench warfare and be exciting
It wasn't exciting at all. Fucking sucked. I thought I was going to die
2005 Brian O'Driscoll is that you?

Wonder what the odds are of Eddie taking a page out of the Italian's playbook and stitching up uncontested scrums?
That would be pretty smart, only one prop away
Cole to cop an injury? Does test rugby play man off? (I.E. the team that forces uncontested has to play with 14 players)?

South Africa have two fresh scrummaging props on the bench as well

But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.
England can.
England need to get tighter not looser.

SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control

Dunno, but I think they'd do better with 14 and uncontested scrums, than what they're doing ATM

@sparky Yes. To you rugby tragics, trench warfare is great. For 80% of the viewing public, they want to see ball movement, sweeping backline moves and tries.
I disagree that’s what rugby fans want. That’s what you want.
