Pretty odd England didn't take the 3 at the end and regroup. Arrogance eh...

Sarcasm?

They were basically mauling tries at will from the 22. Go for the win and don't risk bounce of the ball in 20 minutes of ET.

They made a really bad call on the throw and paid the price. The red card was almost irrelevant at that point.

Their lineout had been deteriorating, I guess maybe the lineout was the right option if they didn't go 2, but that hadn't worked for them in a loooong time.

Thier best bet was to play out for penalties imo.

Damn, now we're doing crowd singing. Hope we don't start playing like the Welsh.

Don’t think they had the fitness for extrA time.

Maybe, but only if they gave the ball back. They probably could've ground it out.

Fluhler you fucking beauty, you win the fan award.

Woodman might get a lot of the hype but Fluhler is the most skilful BF back.

Either someone was playing very dangerously with fate, or NZR's art department are quick workers.

I tell you what, the ITV feed I'm watching is very classy, given how favored the English were.

They also pointed out the quality of Demant's kicking in the crucial try.

How was Alphonse been here the whole world cup and thinks Ngan-Woo is Nagawoo

She's awful isn't she? The Miles Harrison of Women's rugby.

The fucking flip flopping about how NZ don't do this and should do that then doing a 180 2 minutes later was doing my head in.

That interview and singing with the crowd from Tui was quite neat.

Watching the BFs win the RWC with CF Sr and mum, and CF Jr. Pretty special

Was actually watching it with Mrs Dan, and I have to say to see her dance around the floor in tears at end has given me much joy. She's only a little thing to but when she leapt into my arms I suddenly remembered how old I was, just about knocked me over! Really good stuff I think!

You must give us an update at some point...

Or just maybe they premade two options?

I wonder if the English will vote for 20 minutes reds next time.

No

She was the celeb women's rugby player and became the token woman on commentary teams for the 6N IIRC. The other woman (Nooni?) was bloody good I thought

@Bones That is a lot of layers in photoshop and some beautiful masking, credit to the artist, that is a thing of beauty.

the player in the centre at the bottom of the poster (Cocksedge?) really does look like shouting "Are you not entertained?!"

I'll remember that next time a poster rejoicing in a world cup win is leaked and the win didn't happen. Subtle as!

That was worth every second of getting up early on a cold grey England morning. Well done BFs!! Challenge is now for NZ Rugby to put a decent comp in place befitting the womens game.
