RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)
-
Just talking to a friend at the game, rain getting a bit heavier..
-
@kiwiinmelb if our forwards turn up in the 2nd half then Smith will come good.
-
Don't need wholesale changes at half-time. There were signs we were starting to get the edge at the breakdown - just need to focus and be controlled.
If England score in the 1st 10 mins we are fucked though. Could be a big loss.

Get TJP out there too, Smith doing nothing
I know we’re not playing well but I’m not ready for TJ yet....
Smith needs to be better though.
Did Moody or Laulala carry the ball once in that half? We need to start by getting some metres in close.

cane on

That’s it , get cane out there let’s hit the breakdown
-
@ACT-Crusader Laulala at least 2 carries. Didn't see Moody.
-
@ACT-Crusader hard to carry ball when your kicking most of it away ..
-
40 minutes to determine if Fozzue coaches next year or not...?
-
The much disliked Itoje has been massive for England.
Instead of us dominating the lineout - it's been largely England disrupting and stealing our ball -while aside from the last lineout, England has won theirs easily. We need to sort it out!
The big plus is that with the limited ball we've had, at times we've almost opened them up.
Goodhue has been superb and Mo'unga has looked silky. Need most of the others to lift their games.
-
Someone said get the off load game going. The problem with that is you need confidence and you need to win the collisions. None of that is happening. The great thing about 2011 and 2015 is that our team were good enough to win when they weren't allowed to play well. We will find out in 20 mins if this team is good enough.

Cane for SB not BR
-
@taniwharugby Maybe having Cane there will give him a boost.

Brodie with a neck pull there
