    I think English rugby from top to bottom is full of arrogant and ignorant arseholes. But there is nothing wrong with singing during the haka

    True but I wouldn’t mind seeing the English beat NZ today. I mean NZ wearing the poppy is almost worse than being the country responsible for entering the war and spilling all that blood out of arrogance of “never wanting to be slaves”

    Great pass from Youngs

    I want NZ to win as much as any (most) other Irishman today, but there is nothing wrong with the English fans singing during the Haka.

    Covered yourself with that edit ;)

    England looking solid so far today, hope they can pull it off

    I hope NZ win for a couple of reasons, but mainly because I don't think I can ever remember them losing two games in a row...certainly not for a very very long time.

    A tactical masterclass by England so far according to Barnes...calm down Stuart, NZ haven't fired a shot yet!

    7 minutes in and England have only played a handful of phases, the English commentators are always hilarious to listen to.

    That yellow card against Fiji is for what exactly? He didn't bring it down - at best they have picked the wrong player surely?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭Franz Von Peppercorn


    Personally I support all NH teand against SH teams. Abab.

    28-10 to Italy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,341 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    English tackling has been excellent so far

    Ashton miles offside there. Standing in nz backline. Garces didn't see it


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 128 ✭✭The Dagestani Eagle


    Barrett hit late

    NZ lineout is nearly as bad as South Africa


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Very impressive, really been working on the choreography and some of the synchronised flourishes were sensational.

    Easily the best pre match dancing I've seen, well done the burly men of New Zealand, twinkle toes every last one of them.

    Do you bother typing this anymore, or its just a ctrl+c ctrl+v jobby?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 302 ✭✭Muscles Schultz


    NZ look tired, weak and bewildered. Dunno if they are much of a threat any more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,081 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Even safe plays are a lottery in the conditions. The fitter side will win this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,018 ✭✭✭Bridge93


    Glen Jackson showing again what a poor referee he is. Penalty try Georgia


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 128 ✭✭The Dagestani Eagle


    it's two different sports between wet and dry.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 28,740 Mod ✭✭✭✭Podge_irl


    How do England regularly manage to up their game against NZ so much better than us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,912 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Fair play to England

    Although if I wanted to be an auld cumudgeon I'd say that NZ look all over the shop at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    New Zealand haven't left the hatch.

  • England playing the conditions very well

    This is it for me too. This is great stuff from England and I'd normally be loving it, but not this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,087 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Ardie has gone missing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,741 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    This doesn't look like New Zealand at all.

    In fact, this doesn't look like the England team we've seen over the last year either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭Gonad


    No excuse , NZ used to the rain

    They never lose two in a row so hopefully they come back here..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭Granny15


    They’re wearing the poppy on their sleeve. What did you expect except surrender to their colonial masters

    I think you can say both in fairness. NZ look shell shocked at the moment. But there is still so much time left you just know they will come back, as they always do.

    Would the reward of playing for top spot in the rankings not be worth it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,912 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    NZ are clearly trying to target Ashton here.

    These conditions mean a big comebackwont be easy...even for NZ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,087 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    It's all well and good to target Ashton but it's not working and they're just kicking away good attacking ball.

    Great post...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,187 ✭✭✭almostover


    Punch thrown by NZ no.5 back there, surprised it wasn't picked up. Will be a disaster for Ireland if England win as NZ will be baying for blood next week. I normally love to see NZ best but not this time. England playing great rugby though.

    Fair point.

    Although we need to win tonight first


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,087 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Henry Slade just kicked away a 3 on 1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,341 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    That was an excellent exit there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,641 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    NZ being outfought, outsmarted and outclassed by England.

    A lot of English forward passes being let go.

    massive pressure on us next Sat but the AB will be like animals next week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,918 ✭✭✭accensi0n


    Weird that no teammates gave a savea a well done for that turnover, very muted.

    Good, wouldn't want it any other way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭griffinlee


    Is it just me or does England's line speed look slightly offside every time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,087 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    New Zealand are so good at their on field game management. They noticed that two pick and goes made them metres around the fringes so they did that for the next 3 or 4 phases in succession and made their way inside England's 22.

    Possibly highlights they were kicking too much to begin with though.

    Where can I watch the England game?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 128 ✭✭The Dagestani Eagle


    England flopping at every ruck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,741 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    Big call to go for the scrum, have NZ ever been held scoreless at half time?

    But then played way too deep and lost 20 meters.
    Up the jumper and they'll make progress here.
