Re: All Blacks V England RWC Semi Final Match Thread.

Incredibly its 16 years since England have beaten the ABs anywhere except Twickenham. While NZ doesn't have much of a problem winning away from home, it certainly seems England do. How much of a factor the local crowd supporting the ABs will be remains to be seen. Steady on, Saffers have only won 2...

Re: All Blacks V England RWC Semi Final Match Thread.

What sorry little arguments will the English media try for this week? Surely they can improve on the whingeing from the Scots (although to be fair theirs wasn't a bad effort considering we weren't even playing them) and the Irish. I don't get the peevish anger from some of you guys. You've got the ...

Tighter than a duck's butt over the last decade (in 6N and, f*ck, WC, with a couple of outliers each way).

I think we shade it both up front and behind at the moment, and Welsh bench looks (relatively) weak.
Is Welsh change at 9 down to injury?
