Well EJ has got runs on the board v the kiwis he is a master tactician and will have a solid game plan for the kiwis.
IF poms are given gay love by Owen then this game could be well theirs for the taking.
Go EJ coach this pom team to victory.
Garbage. England found themselves during Bokkies series. We got more out of that than you lot. Now we are playing the quality rugby. Down to the cheating Kiwis and then the Welsh who'll beat the Bokkies getting revenge for the last world cup.
Nah altitude and we still nearly did it. 5 tries on your preciois defence don't be telling me it got better because it hasn't.
Why not you don't have an issue with Mtawa dumping a Jap on his head. Hypocrite.
So hows that 16% win rate vs the ABs looking / One lonely win at your ,ahem,"fortress " twickers in 16 years .Impressive.1 win away vs ABs innit ? In your entire history .
Haha it is painful to do it Sharkbok... never ever in any other sport would I back poms over kiwis.... just rugby... because I know how much it hurts them and love to see smug Toad of Toad Hall and Wannabe Samoan Aussie Muslem SBW tearing up...
And... will claim EJ as coach of coaches leading England to victory... thats worth making a moive about
Two things I remember:
1 The Pom pack with 13 men on the field at times, beating the ABs in NZ in 2003. A dominant pack can neutralize a lotof skills.
2 The Aussies beat NZ in the 2003 WC, largely as a result of a Mortlock interception.
So while most believe the ABs will prevail, there are some possible banana peels out there. The power of the English pack.....and lady luck who intervened in the form of Mortlock in 2003.
So 70% it's NZ, 30% it's the Poms, seems about right.
yeah no doubt will be good game - i think 70/30 about right odds... maybe 60/40...
I watched replay of the 2003 GF a week back or so and thought... that Aussie team was pretty average... Larkham and Gregan were both past it and Aussie backline with Flatley & Skinny Giteau and a couple of NRL wingers was not the best...
Additionally the English had Martin Johnson / Johnny Wilko/ Lawrence Dallaglio... all "winners"..!
Using that premise:
NZ "winners" - B Barrett (number 1 winner in the game) / K Read / A Smith
Pom "winners" - Itoje / Vunipola / Underhill (young winner but what a specimen) / Ford
the silence is defeaning... tard troll gone away?
