RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

[Nepia]

WTF - I usually like being right, not this time. Great idea to bench out key defensive loose forward.

[MajorRage]

Itoje choosing this match to play like the player he’s talked up to be.

Gotta change something second half or we are toast.

England clearly better team today so far.

10-0 is about right.

We can only get better from here.

Bit hard to get worse.

[Marty]

Missing Cane, big time. England getting really fast ball at breakdown

[Mokey]

@Nepia Bloody hell, don't say that.

[Tim]

My mate was sending me pictures from the ground before kick-off. He's not now!

[kiwiinmelb]

Get cane out there , maybe coles

[booboo]

Not happy.

Go wide on first phase. There's space there.

There's no space wide when we get into phase play.

Need ball and need to smash ducks.

Half time. England 10-0 up and in dreamland.

Appalling ABs performance, could be a lot more.

We’re a bit panicky but it’s outstanding England more than poor NZ.

[chimoaus]

At least it can’t get any worse. Our bench to save the day. Credit to England, their fatties Out playing us big time.

I can only hope it's going to be like:

[Mokey]

AB highlights from first half...er....10 seconds.

[taniwharugby]

@kiwiinmelb Cane for NBBBR

[kev]

just choosing the wrong options at the moment.

Expect much higher energy levels 2nd half.

Important to score early so we don’t chase the game.

[BartMan]

@SynicBast those 4 lineout options are going well.....

[Wally]

S Barrett selection was a bad call. Taylor poor. Need Cane and SBW on ASAP.

[No Quarter]

He played a key role in nullifying Irelands only strength last week and this week he's.... Not on the park?!

[Machpants]

For all their territory asked possession dominance, England 'only' ten up. They look fucked and out of ideas. If we improve at the breakdown, we'll take this

Exactly. They’ve done what they should’ve (and the rugby world was saying) - keep possession and limit the kicking.

[Crazy Horse]

Those three points before half time were crucial for England. Out playing us everywhere. The only hope is they tire. They were already slowing the game down after 20 mins, but even then they were still winning the little things.
