Lenairt brown looks dire!

by Heaf Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Add another forward pass

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Forward pass and obstruction

by Collapse2005 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Forward pass, knock on all ignored. Penalty to NZ instead.

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Unbelievable, forward passes, punches offsides all allowed now

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Penalty gets reversed

by Dirtydave Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Is Farrell play acting there? Holding his head after a push!!

by stub Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:41 am

Bye bye Sam?

by **LondonTiger** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:42 am

FFS Nige. Open your eyes.

Wrong again. Off the English player. Owens called it

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:42 am

Whitelock...get him off

by mikey_dragon Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:42 am

Farrell cried a bit there...

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:42 am

Farrell milked that a bit, holding his face like he’d been punched! It was a push in the face! He was already falling backwards. Still, silly by Whitelock.

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:43 am

Touch judges are Frak useless

God about time. Nige and co are such NZ fanboys.

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:43 am

Farrell is a pu55y

by Dirtydave Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:43 am

Whitlock had a horror show, but it's the type of performance you feel sorry for, he's just been dominated

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:43 am

Ah well standard....abs getting away with everytihng.

by Duty281 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:43 am

Cheers, Nige. Put this to bed England.

by stub Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:44 am

Great insight ebop!

by Heaf Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:44 am

Had to make it obvious for the officials to spot it given they've been ignoring blatant forward passes and obstructions from the ABs

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:44 am

Another penalty, keep that scoreboard ticking

by Dirtydave Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:44 am

Savea screaming with the pain of a guy who knows his journey is over...

He's world class, I feel for him!

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:45 am

A warning for NZ as well, they are really up against it now

by No 7&1/2 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:45 am

Please commit another foul nz.

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:45 am

Still take the warning!

Come on Nigel yellow card them

by No 7&1/2 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:45 am

Hard ish kick. I'd have gone to the corner.

by Collapse2005 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:45 am

England should be at least 20 points plus up in the game. Refs keeping NZ in it.

by Duty281 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:46 am

NZ have been fecking awful. No exaggeration to say Australia gave England a tougher game...they were on top for 15 minutes.

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:46 am

19-7 England with 10 to go!

by Blanko Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:46 am

Starting to see how New Zealand win so many games when they want to play different rules where knock ons, forward passes, and high tackles are all allowed

Reid doesn’t even talk to his players when told to by Nigel. Such arrogance

by king_carlos Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:47 am

What a game George Ford has had.

Looks like it is an England vs Wales final after all!

by stub Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:47 am

Itoje MOM?

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:47 am

So we’ve learned today that if you line up in the reverse formation of the mighty haka, it sooks out all the NZ special juu juu and they can’t enforce their game on you. Dropping balls. Knocked back in tackles. Conceding penalties. Even the TMO trying to help them isn’t enough.

I feel dirty cheering on England, but cheering them on I am

by No 7&1/2 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:48 am

Damn right Taylor. I want england to play 14 men!

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:48 am

Surely it is England's game now

Brilliant turnover by Wilson

by Geordie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:48 am

Mark wilson turniver....thats my boy

by neilthom7 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:48 am

This commentator is doing my nut in. Shouting that this is one of the world cups greatest upsets. England are number 2 in the world, they aren't a tier 2 nation, wise up.

Curryhill is my MOTM

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:49 am

A lot of Nigel Owens bashing on this thread. Really?! I think he’s been good. Just the nerves and anxiety talking by posters?

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:49 am

Contender. Ford and underhill also

by king_carlos Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:49 am

Unbelievable from Wilson. Covers so much ground and then stays on his feet for the turnover.

by Duty281 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:50 am

Another exceptional turnover, this time by a bench player.

One-sided domination of the World Cup favourites. One of England’s greatest wins.

by Dirtydave Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:50 am

The AB's are out on their feet, congrats England, massive props to eddie Jones, totally outthought hanson...

I have to say, when my daughter (who is going to be 6'5 like daddy) asks to watch a 2nd row performance to mimic I'm going to show her Itojes performance today...

Best 2nd row performance I've ever seen!

For some reason NZ get away with forward passes more than anyone else... Maybe because they play so quickly , to be fair. But at times it jars...

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:51 am

Very disappointed with New Zealand. Created absolutely nothing this game. Their only points have been gifted, pretty much like an own goal in football. Are these the world champions?

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:52 am

Well, looks like England are going to go through. Seen the ABs come back from this before but unlikely with the pressure England are applying.
They wouldn’t deserve it anyway. Reminds of 2003, and funnily enough Eddie was in charge then as well.

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 10:52 am

Nice long scrum please
