Semi Finals

[hendrix]

Cane has been playing bloody well this world cup and it's not like he's an undersized 7 or anything so not totally sure about it but they can always bring him on early if it's not working.

Hoping for an NZ-SA final with NZ winning by about 400 points in both their remaining matches.

Reading between the lines, I think he may have an unpublicised knock (was yanked at HT versus the Micks too), so he could be being saved for the final with the security he's on the bench if the break down goes **** up in the semi.

EDIT: the filter on this site mystifies me. I can't type "****" (euphemism for breasts, rhymes with "bits") but shite is ok!!!!

I would watch this, even though it brings back painful memories

'Eddie Jones' in slow-mo looks creepy

The filter is set to minimise Google Ads censoring, so swearing that isn't found in american english is more likely to fly under the radar. GA also has a completely different system if you end up in the 'adult website' bin where big advertisers withdraw all their business, so it's safer to filter out words related to anything ***ual.

Makes sense, I suppose. I'll continue to be patriotic with my profanity and supplant "**** up" with "Bristols skyward".

Yeah we only added *** to the filter after we found out that we really had to or risk getting a big chunk of our ad revenue cut off, we really didn't have much choice in the matter in that regard alas.

 

[StephenZA]

Pretty good start that from Eng.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bit slow that start

 

[GIMH]

I don't know a lot about rugby but this isn't the start I expected

 

[StephenZA]

Way to long to make a relatively simple decision.

 

[Howe_zat]

I’m exhausted already

But the belief is growing...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Needed more than a 7 point lead after a half like that so that penalty was important.

 

[StephenZA]

Fast and furious

 

[Howe_zat]

Just breathless stuff. I’ll offer some analysis after. I need a brew.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Good half for England but we should be further ahead.

Last time we met the ABs we were 15 up at the break and still lost.

Big pluses for England have been Underhill's carrying, the domination at the ruck and, most surprisingly, the line out.

Goodhue looks the man most likely to for NZ, IMHO.

as much as i want own farrell to get murdered or at least punched in the face, the all blacks aren't winning this game against the most obnoxious team/media/fan combination in the world without a set piece

 

[StephenZA]

Great from Eng.

Have not seen a NZ team this rattled in a long time. WC pressure telling?

 

[Flem274*]

too many cantabrians in the team
