If England had a scrum half they could be out of sight by now.

NZ JUST PLAY SOME BASIC RUGBY. GET DOWN THEIR END AND CARRY DIRECT.

If Retallick had have passed a second earlier it could be tied.
I'd expect the ABs to go into HT behind.

They need to take Farrell off, he can barely move

Youngs is f**king us so hard at the moment. Good start, but he's deteriorating by the second.

New Zealand seem to have forgotten to train the set plays this week.

Ugh. Youngs fucks the pass again. Sinckler should still take.
Re: All Blacks V England RWC Semi Final Match Thread.
Owens not policing the tackler release at all.

Pressure starting to fade from England. Not taking chances will haunt us.
Re: All Blacks V England RWC Semi Final Match Thread.
Youngs passing from the base. 

Re: All Blacks V England RWC Semi Final Match Thread.
NZ cannot get any worse than this, England cannot get any better. Easy win in the end for the All Blacks.

Mistakes like that when we have an attacking platform is costing England the potential to win.

Poor decision making by AB's so far is not helping their cause, 22 dropout should have been long

Re: All Blacks V England RWC Semi Final Match Thread.
I can only imagine that when Youngs was, say, 11, someone took him aside and said
"look lad, why don't you try stopping, waiting until everyone is stood quite still, wait another breath and THEN fire it as hard as you can at his head or his ankles"

Yeah, there's a chance England could regret not converting those line breaks - they must have had 5 in the first 20 minsAuckman wrote:All Blacks are so bloody lucky to only be 7-0 down

The whole attacking long was just creeping up expecting him to pass it, but it took ages. The the whole shape off.RodneyRegis wrote:Ugh. Youngs fucks the pass again. Sinckler should still take.

Goodhue attempting to counter ruck against Sinckler. 10/10 for the effort.
