RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

[SynicBast]

Damn, three year old is back early and hopped up on sugar so I'm going to open the bottle of Berton Durif I was given today - not my usual tipple but the three year old requires some degree of warding through alcoholic haze in order for me to survive.
Hopefully I make the bottle last until kickoff

[gt12]

Off to the ground soon.

Weather looks good so hopefully the surface isn’t too wet from yesterday!

@canefan you reckon it'll be a rain free game mate?

No rain likely. But it's still early.....

[Rembrandt]

Nervous times in the Rembrandt household. Having a few folk over for the game but a few hours ago a weird weather event came through our neighbourhood, sudden rain and heavy wind. It ripped our neighbours roof off and is now resting mid air on some powerlines.
Police and news media arrived sharpish but no sign as yet from power company or whomever would be equipped to move a displaced roof. Hoping like hell they can just isolate the power to that house or that side of the street..a power cut in a couple hours would not be ideal.

Just Wales into Keven Mealamu, he was very friendly. It’s busy here. Weather is ideal.

Of course they are! That would make the Wallabies' QF effort look better in their eyes.

So...who is under the most pressure..the ABS to be the triple holders or Eddie to win his first RWC as coach and for England to prove they are not one trick ponies...???? He claims he has no pressure whatsoever...

Nup sorry Steady Eddie...not buying it.

ABs by a mile

Difference is we're always under pressure. That notwithstanding, does pressure on the ABs mean there's no pressure on England...? Massive pressure here on both teams and let's not pretend otherwise.

Obviously if we lose Cheika should be given his job back .

In the bush near our house. A good sign.
