Woohoo. We're in it ...l

England Vs New Zealand in the RWC Semi Final. It's happened before.....
No one who saw Jonah's brilliant quartet of tries in Cape Town will ever forget them.
-
You're welcome.
-
Markets opened with NZ 6.5 point favourites

Same team as long as no injuries or niggles, pretty much the standard in knock out rugby

The real final.

Nah. SA will be worthy finalists as well.
-
I am more concerned about this English side than I was Ireland.
Although I don't expect we will play as dumb as Aussie did to let England get away.
Should be a cracker!
When are ref appointments announced...I'd say high odds us getting Garces next week

They have to get past 126.8 million Japanese first.

Could he be any worse than Owens was last night? Dont answer that...... Owens let them loose in the breakdown and let them off at least two or three dangerous cardable offenses. Meanwhile he pinged us increasingly for all manner of indiscretions, even one he made up to send Todd to the bin!
The scores are eerily similar, but the numbers hide the manner of each victory

@canefan I will answer
Not one of Owen's best, missed a fair bit, but still an average Owens is better than Garces and his mate on a good day.

If we had him again I am sure he would be better too
-
Personally, I'd just bloody love Farrell to play the same shit way Sexton did today.
That, and a win, would be awesome.

Garces and his mate
Betting syndicate partner is probably more accurate than "mate".
-
@canefan as I said to an English mate
We'll see your 40-16 Vs world number 7, and raise you a 46-14 Vs world number 4
see ya next week, should be a cracker!

For the record: I'm supporting you guys.

Get on board early, there's a lot of you clambering onto this bandwagon this morning.

In the last decade England have come to NZ for one tour and lost all three IIRC?
Every other match was EOYT when we usually aren't at our best and were all at Twickenham? They won one of them I think?

The persecution complex is strong with this one

@taniwharugby said in RWC: England v New Zealand (SF1):
Yup we lose to England once every ten years, still got a few before our next one (2003 was previous)

Wales have a very good recent record against SA. If they can get by France they will not fear the boks

So refs ...
Let's assume the top four refs got the QFs. That's the model they've used post 2007 when they tried to develop a couple of younger refs.
Backfired slightly.
On that subject we can't get Barnes for this match which, nowadays, is a bit of shame.
Leaves Faeces, Nige and Peyper.
Distinct preference not to get Faeces.
I'll allow Nige his few indiscretions yesterday but either of Nige or Jaco would be ok.
-
Last RWC, two?, the FInal ref didn;t get a semi final. I think
Yup, Garces and Barnes semi, Lacy 3/4, Nige the big one
Not 2011 tho, Joubert got semi and final
-
@booboo 4 straight...or 5/6
-
-
next up, England.
So with Matt Todd out for this match (apparently will be ok for final if they make it - oh fcuk, and that dreaded other cnut of a match)
Assume the same 15 likely to start, and have to think the bench make up wont change greatly either?
Either Frizzell or Pat T to come into the bench, meaning if Pat T, SB is loose forward cover, although Pat T power game could be handy v England.
-
This one worries me a bit more England will be tougher nut to crack.
For This game The Ref whoever it is may have a big influence.
Eddie Jones will have targeted this game and how to beat us as soon as the WC draw came out.He has already done it to us before in a WC with Australia.
I still believe we will win but am on edge more for this game.
We win this game we win the WC in my opinion
-
@NTA gag reflex?

While I agree with you in the sense that last week, I wasnt worried about Ireland, but was with England....as to that comment, do you not think our coaches have been working on plans to beat England as well, or were we solely focused on beating Ireland, even though we were previously thought to only be hitting them in the final.
-
Frizzel or PT for the bench??
Iād probably go Frizell

I still believe we will win but am on edge more for this game.
We win this game we win the WC in my opinionPresuming South Africa get through, we may just be too tired and sore in comparison.

Of course I do As I said I believe we will win but this one has some real bite to it
