Re: England can't muster any class after the match

Maybe WR should have had a sharpie ready to write on the medals "Kicked the All Blacks arse". Might have been easier to put on.

Unlike after losing six centurions post rwc15 I don't have a woe-is-me feeling.

Post RWC19. post Retirements: How does your team look now?

ABs don't look too bad. Crotty & SBW gone. We have ALB + Goodbye + Laumape. Reid will be hard to replace. Not sure how long our locks will be around but we have big Barrett. Need two more to stand up next year. Front row looks fine. Rest of the backs look good. I'm optimistic we'll be in the picture...

Re: Who do you think will win World Rugby Player of the year

Let's be honest. WR hardly ever gets it right But for me Itoje is the best player in the world right now.

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

I'd like to see Tuilagi's defence tested. Actually I'd like to see SBW off the bench running at him. He's can take the impact. He's taller with longer arms and his offloading can make a mess of the poms' backline.

Commiserations Ireland. Futzy said it's the best the ABs have played since the last WC and I'd agree. ABs would have made any team look ordinary today. Only player I'd put a question mark over was Bridge. His all round play was good but he just doesn't seem fleet enough of foot for a world class wi...

Re: RWC QF: All Blacks vs Ireland: MATCH THREAD: Sat 19 Oct

Irelands kick chase game was very poor. It was one of their strengths to exert pressure that way. Either kicks weren't accurate or no one interested in chasing. Barely any pressure on our back three. Very un-Ireland like.
