What the hell has Brodie Retallick done with his hair?

Mookie Blaylock

Would prefer more nations sang during the haka tbh

Boom. Dream start for England.

Squidgy Black

Shocker of a start from NZ.

Great pass out from Youngs

bilston

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.

AbusesToilets

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

bilston

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

23-7 in Florence

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”

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.

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?

Franz Von Peppercorn

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

28-10 to Italy

AbusesToilets

English tackling has been excellent so far

The Dagestani Eagle

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

The Dagestani Eagle

Barrett hit late

ScrubsfanChris

NZ lineout is nearly as bad as South Africa

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?

Muscles Schultz

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

Larbre34

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

Bridge93

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

The Dagestani Eagle

it's two different sports between wet and dry.

Podge_irl

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

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

WoollyRedHat

New Zealand haven't left the hatch.

England playing the conditions very well
