Semi Finals

****ing good that

Yeah but SA tight five is better than NZ's... not gonna be as easy to bully. But lets get through both semi's first.

yeah ours has been slightly dodgy for a couple of years. even australia won up front in perth which is unheard of. the crusaders aside, nz super rugby forwards are more known for the fancy stuff and turnovers rather than running over teams.

Have to laugh at commentators calling Eddie Jones a master coach

Idiot destroyed Australian rugby

people can learn from their mistakes. he has been excellent with england.

Man the Eng media and fans are going to be unbearable if they win both the cricket and rugby WC's...

I fully intend to be.

We all can’t spake.

they haven't won even one of those yet

Well you lot certainly haven't

 

[Uppercut]

wales shouldn't get past sa. people underestimate how insane the bok defense was against a team arguably better than us at throwing it around like lunatics. wales don't have the imagination to win and the boks forwards are better imo.

i think england can beat sa though. our back 3 is better than theirs and you've kept ours busy all evening.

SA shouldn’t be able to score at will against Wales either though. Could easily come down to a couple of big moments.

Good job England, now only if you can avoid Brexit.

 

[Meridio]

Well that was a bit disappointing. England the better side today comfortably, forwards in particular. We were so much slower to the ruck, rarely threatened any turnovers there while England were always there. Think it was a mistake to start S. Barrett over Cane, lost a lot around the ruck but our lineout was awful too.

That said, don't think I've ever seen the ABs drop the ball so often, fire so many inaccurate passes, and miss so many tackles. One of the worst performances I can recall.

Anyway, hope Wales get up over SA, though the thought of an all northern hemisphere final is fairly dire.

the main problem with this victory is the forthcoming terrible takes regarding the haka stance

 

[Athlai]

England would never have won if they didn’t illegally proceed over halfway to challenge the Haka

You all didn’t believe hard enough

This victory was solely on me

I liked it when the oppossing team was allowed to move forward (like when the French did it years back ), I noticed the officials were telling England to step back

 

[morgieb]

England v. South Africa, is there a worse possible final?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Canada vs USA

 

[andmark]

A qualm I have with the Haka is opposition fans cheering it. It's a ****ing war dance aimed at your team. Show some defiance you stupid *****.

And yet I was the only one who backed them in the tipping competition

Well done England, they just crushed NZ with their utterly brutal defence. Kinda has the feel of a changing of the guard in World Rugby.

I still want a new champion, so go Wales!

Now this is what I am talking about:

Rare for the surrender monkeys to stand up to a challenge.

Lol, well they won that game, thanks to the flattest pass in rugby history
