Finally contested...

England stupid for going to 2 again. NZ always going to contest there

England are too robotic. All the professionalism, skills, and fitness, but few brains and even less planning. Blind Freddie could see we were setting to actually contest that one at the front. Just like the overlaps earlier on their right wing..

Bro, don’t over analyse just….

Fuck that was awesome. Two great games of rugby two weeks in a row.

So Wayne, now that your contract is up.........

Wayne Smith is a GOD.

The Professor can wander off into the sunset with the greatest reputation. Well deserved.

If NZR want the women to continue to develop a legacy, investment in set piece and goal kicking would pay dividends.

@Tordah you can hardly blame a team that loses a player with 60 minutes to go for playing a more conservative game plan.

The team that played the rugby, that would get girls interested in the sport won.
That last try, what an offload with momentum in the opposite direction!
The team that would have blasted the other one away if it weren't for a clumsy tackle attempt lost.
Nice to see the England winning streak rip.
Fuck mauls.
Great last lineout, they knew they had to contest

Stacey my player of the match.

Kicking in general.

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

how many coaches have won different rugby world cups?

The story of the last 2 weeks for the BFs is taking opportunities, staying in the fight, and putting pressure on.

France fluff a kick and they go through to the final.
England miscall a throw and they win that final.

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

Well spoken by English captain

Power is an issue and I think that sometimes factors into their kicking choices.

They do need to look at mauls. Don't mind a contrast of styles at all but a maul every 5 minutes? Also seems an adjudicational lottery to me and not a fair contest of the ball.

Demant spoke well too.

Fair play, the English captain is a better-looking Winston Churchill.

Demant POTM? Really? Did Black 13 have to leave early or something?

Yep I agree.

The issue isn't the idea of the mauls, its that the laws need tweaking/better enforcement.

Young Winston or WW2 era?
