RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

Victor Meldrew

We're giving too much ball away - that and some strange decision-making

ABs need to get into the game.

Just passengers at moment

MiketheSnow

Dream start for England. 182 metres to ABs 121.

But for all the dominance just 7 pts

Not good enough

NZ would have finished the English chances

That will be the difference

As frustrating as this is we would probably be more frustrated if we were dominating like this and only up 7.

England dropped off after 20 last year let’s see how this half ends. No need to panic.

bayimports

even our defence is passive, but the decision making has been the weirdest part from us so far

Mokey

C'mon Read. Tell your guys to calm the fuck down and stop letting England dictate everything. Headless chooks don't win World Cups.

Nz tactics of kicking everything not working so far.

ALB with Goldie eyes there after the kick pass is snuffed out.

No that’s a worry.

Swallow your pride Hansen and put on Cane.

chimoaus

Need to hold the pill and build pressure, England doing very well at disrupting us.

sparky

England's lineout work is outstanding.

taniwharugby

@Tim for who, SB ain't the problem

Donsteppa

Swallow your pride Hansen and put on Cane.

Yep, that was a real dumb non-selection.

Victor Meldrew

Just sense we need one piece of magic..

But England's tactics are working well and their lineout looks solid

sparky

AB already kicked 13 times in near perfect conditions.

Mokey

We might be able to whip up something...if we stopped bloody giving away possession.

chimoaus

Thank fuck Goodhue has turned up, he has been great so far.

sparky

Retallick looking uncooked for a game like this

AB already kicked 13 times in near perfect conditions.

Clearly a directive from Shag, lots hope he has a plan b.

sparky

Underhill in. It's been coming.
