[Darren]

Oh no, why are we bringing this game up?
Can't we just pretend this never happened?

I'm the biggest fanboi for NZ ever. But by crikey 7 points was flattering. 20 points would have been a more accurate (but probably still flattering ) reflection.

When did you last rewatch it? It's been ages for me, so from memory we were pants executing, but England struggled to break us down, and our defence kept us in the game. Despite playing poorly, we were in it with 20 or so to, and could easily have burgled it. Sam Whitelock's shove on the eminently shovable Farrell was a key point; turned an offensive penalty and the chance to go deep into another defensive shift.

@Darren maybe put this thread on 'ignore'... people discussing a rugby match on a rugby forum; whatever next.

edit: sounded a bit harsh, not intdned as a 'slapdown', but do think about putting this on ignore if it's triggering

Eddie's most cunning tactic was Farrell's face.

Watching it once was more than enough. Not putting myself through that again...

I didn't even bother with Spark Sports free offer to watch the RWC games again last month.
