You here for the match LT?

by **Rugby Fan** Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:03 am

Getting dark as the sun starts going down. Cloudy, so there's a small chance of rain, but it should stay clear.

by maestegmafia Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:13 am

Only 45 mins to go. Very exciting.

by nathan Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:28 am

Can’t see past a kiwis win really. They’ll be kicking a lot, either to daly or for touch

by Guest Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:29 am

I’m not usually one for cheering on England, the sworn enemy and all that, but......... C’mon England! Rooting for you today.

by nathan Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:30 am

England wales final? :p

by Taylorman Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:32 am

Eddie Jones words ..we’re ready to go, been waiting 2.5 years... that’s the sort of words you don’t wanna hear. Sly fox... Cool

by No 7&1/2 Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:32 am

I'll be really disappointed if england dont put in a great performance today. Of course we could lose but this team is class. At very very least New Zealand should be walking away thanking their lucky stars they're through.

by eirebilly Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:32 am

Good luck England and the English fans on here. Think ye will turn the AB's today thumbsup

by Taylorman Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:35 am

Too soon for that, anything can happen. Has the hallmarks of a great game though, both teams look ready, in form, well coached, well prepared. Individually some stunning players, X factor in both. Got it all.

by majesticimperialman Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:35 am

Yes, this is the biggest game for England and this England team.

Are they good enough to win? Yes i think they can.

Cannot wait for kick off to be honest.

Come on England.

by BamBam Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:40 am

I've never been so nervous for a game, we're underdogs but I can't remember feeling so cautiously optimistic that we can actually turn NZ over since 2003

Good luck to the Kiwis on here

by Taylorman Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:41 am

Benches could be critical though ai hope not, Cane coming on fresh half time will be interesting. Moody’s adamant they want to run England around the park.

by **RiscaGame** Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:43 am

Best of luck to England today. Hope they go well. I bet England to win the tournament, after the second Wales warm up game. Just had a feeling about them, after showing their depth.

The build up has been brilliant too. I thought 90 mins would be too long, but it has been pretty good.

Good luck England, you’ve got this Scotsman rooting for you today!

Eddie giving away bugger all in that interview

by **BigGee** Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:53 am

All Blacks certainly look like they are in the zone whilst walking out!

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:56 am

Morning Gentlemen, enjoy.

by nathan Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:57 am

Oooof

The nerves.

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:59 am

And people say GSTQ is dull!

by MightyQuin Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:59 am

Is this an even more dull anthem than ours? Goes on about 10 bars too long.

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:00 am

Nice

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:01 am

Why shouldn't we wind them up

by nathan Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:02 am

Refs sorting out the offside line already at the haka

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:02 am

What fine are we getting then

by Heaf Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:02 am

That's the trouble with ITV - adverts just before kick off

by majesticimperialman Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:03 am

Like England's responce to the Haka. Doing almost opposite of New Zealand's reverse arrow head.

by tigertattie Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:04 am

What was with the reverse mighty ducks formation?

by BamBam Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:05 am

What a start!

by tigertattie Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

As Lt Jones would say

“They don’t like it up em”

by **BigGee** Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

What a start by England

Fantastic try

by mikey_dragon Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

Go England!

by majesticimperialman Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

What a start. 98 seconds and En gland score a fantastic try.

by MightyQuin Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

Fantastic rugby!

by No 7&1/2 Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

This match is going to kill me.

by Guest Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

Wow! Awesome try.

by Heaf Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:06 am

by MightyQuin Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:07 am

We’ve been holding back

by eirebilly Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:07 am

Oh what a start.

That's how you take New Zealand apart.

by Duty281 Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:07 am

Swing that mighty chariot. England’s day, lads.

by **BigGee** Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:08 am

Are NZ rattled?

by tigertattie Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:09 am

I’ll tell you in 10 mins

Are they rattled or have England just made em angry?

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:09 am

No bad

by Taylorman Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:12 am

Barrett runs down May...cool...

by tigertattie Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:12 am

What happened to May’s pace. He just got caught by 2nd row Barrett

by eirebilly Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:12 am

This is how rugby should be played.

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:12 am

How did may not score?
