Re: Rugby World Cup
I think if England play to their strengths get the tactics right they will beat the All Blacks. Laxman is right that England need to dominate early. Speed will be the key to victory.101Walterton wrote: ↑20 Oct 2019, 3:59amTrue. You can’t give them an inch, no cheap turnovers by errors and no dumb penalties.

It certainly did!!
Great night back to back matches lots of friends and a 2am finish 🥴
Best result for me bring on next week.

Plus you have to win the last 20 mins not the first 60.

We'll see I guess. Looks like England will have to stop Scott Barrett. Stamina could be a factor.101Walterton wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 9:38pmAccuracy.

Re: Rugby World Cup
That is a minor victory to England. He is brought in to counter England’s line out and strong pack. NZ usually just to play to their own strengths and not worry about opposition.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Oct 2019, 10:18pmWe'll see I guess. Looks like England will have to stop Scott Barrett.

Not only was right the coach agreed with me and changed it back at half time. Too late game was lost.

Good on you, mate.

Re: Rugby World Cup
South Africa looking very organised and in control at the moment. Hopefully the second half will be better for England.

Last 10 England need a huge push. 12 - 25 England in desperate need of a try.

Re: Rugby World Cup
First match I've watched and I really don't like this game.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Game over well played South Africa. A great last try by S A . England playing too deep.
