RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1)

[ARHS]

Where is Sam cane?

[SammyC]

We have hardly contested a lineout when they’ve thrown the ball in, what’s the point of picking a tall lineout.

Codie Taylor and Nepo have been poor.

Think we need sbw and cane on sooner rather than later

We’re fucked.
What a fucking tepid first half.
If our forwards don’t bar up and start going forward we might as well get on the plane now.

Struggling to see any way back from here based on the performance in the first 40.

Unfortunately if we lose we’d have to stay another week and play the losers final.

@Steven-Harris That was a try we score 9 times out of ten. I was shouting pass so hard at the TV.

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner nah they get to stay and play the loser of tomorrow's match

[SammyC]

Savea not physical enough for this type of game either

I’m picking wholesale changes at half time.

They need clarity from the coaches - at the moment they're shell-shocked and hesitant.

[reprobate]

Oh good, we are back to kicking the ball away. Chop your leg off beauden.
Well played jack goodhue. Pretty shit from everybody else.

[Crazy Horse]

I think the game breakers for NZ are starting to play as individuals. Not a good sign.

Anyone got anything positive to make me feel better? Anyone?

[The Irishman]

Great first half display from England. NZ getting into a bit of an arm wrestle up front and conceding a lot of turnovers. Lineout completely malfunctioning. They need to get back to their offloading game to open the English up.

It's still just 10-0 and it should be a lot more. We know NZ can score tries in the blink of an eye but they're looking pretty lethargic today.

[chimoaus]

Was that Mounga with the missed tackle that led to first try?

[A Former User]

[Crazy Horse]

@chimoaus ALB?

[BerniesCorner]

They need to relax and trust their instincts, go for it

[Steven Harris]

@Tim first 10-15 minutes of the 2nd half is going to be defining..

[taniwharugby]

Wonder what our missed tackle numbers are like...unprecedented?

[kev]

@Steven-Harris it’s all about those 10 mins
