And showing up well...

I'm still trying to adjust my eyes seeing Anscombe and Parkes playing international footy.

Yeah. He noticed your place of residence, but your profile pic just passed him by.
Unless he thinks England are capable of stringing together 5 successive (instead of their usual once every decade) wins over NZ.

If England do end up becoming the best side in the world playing this turgid crap, it will set the game back 30 years

You’re right, the game was quite attractive in the late ‘80s.

Eddie’s England would send us back at least 60 years

If England do end up becoming the best side in the world playing this turgid crap, it will set the game back 30 years

No, just back to the 2011 final.

A veritable try-fest compared to the previous final

21 points scored vs 15.

Of course, England scored 2 tries in yesterday's turgid game...

21 points, divisible by 3 for a very good reason.

2 tries in a competition with bonus points is practically no tries. No wonder the kiwi TMO fell asleep

England vs New Zealand ticket prices revealed ahead of first meeting in four years
The much-anticipated New Zealand showdown with Eddie Jones men in November is being billed as the richest one-off Test in history with top-priced England vs All Blacks ticket prices set to cost an incredible £195.
The All Blacks, the world’s number one-ranked side, will face an England side – ranked second – for the first time in four years when they clash on Saturday, December 10, 2018 in London.

A family of four wishing to watch the All Blacks Test in the premium seating area would have to pay “a shade under £800,” a report in the Daily Mail said.

England’s Rugby Football Union (RFU) has defended the England vs All Blacks ticket prices

“We haven’t yet finalised ticket pricing for the 2018/19 season, including the England v New Zealand game, which is our prime fixture next season,” a RFU spokesperson said.

“We always have a range of prices at Twickenham, and the top price is typically paid by no more than 10 percent of the fans.

“At the England v Wales (Six Nations) match on Saturday – where demand massively exceeded supply – our ticket prices started at £41, which is highly competitive.

The Daily Mail noted that Wales charged £100 for top tickets to the All Blacks Test last November and were accused of profiteering.

Although it's nice to give a fellow 6N team a good stuffing now and again, there is a vicarious pleasure in beating Wales under dubious circumstances. They'll keep moaning about it for decades. Perhaps when the inevitable moral victory is claimed, one bright spark will also point out that this would make Wales morally second in the IRB rankings? It'll probably be a race to the keyboard between Clive and Dai. Stands by for the infant school level insults.

I can't argue against "if you consider 2 to be 0 then England scored no tries"

Holy hell - have you seen the ticket prices for the game?

Have your guys agreed to profit share and increased the prices to cover? Or are they just creaming it?

Just the Daily Mail getting their wires crossed. £195 is the expected sterling value for the NZ$100 tickets by the time the match comes around.

Either way, it's a lot of money to see your side getting done.

No-ones forcing you to buy a ticket.

You have more faith in Glorious Leader May than I do

662 tickets left on Viagogo, £700 minimum.

Maybe the coaches are better than ours

November? - nah, still not worried eh man.

(Unless the poms get that ref that The Chiefs had to put up with last night)
