The Grorius Engerland vs Mudd Island [LIVE]

AB s not even trying disguise their lane changing anymore.

Guys retreating with arms our. Is this space invaders?

O gonna Blackies ..... I'm sure you are capable to do better than this?

Itoje has been superb.

GAME SET MATCH 

Penalty coming for England. Should be all over.

Take the points England! 

EJ again proved the master coach - that is the answer to aussie rugby.... but think he'll do next round to stick to of Britsih Lions pretty sure.. ?

Congrats bto England ,hard luck my boys still awesome.Go bBoks !

Dammit, of he kicks this my prediction will be out by 3.

He misses...

Still on

Missed, still a sniff for NZ.

Another apparently forward offload missed.

England has it, all over now.

Another forward passs!!!!

Counter ruck NZ. Only time for one more score though.

And Plum nails the prediction.

Even with multiple official warnings against NZ, none acted upon, two disallowed England tries and a host of NZ forward passes not blown, England still too good for NZ. They were a good 20-25 points better than NZ today.

Well done Plum

Pakie that is bang on. I predicted we needed to beat ref bias and it was that way but we did it! I couldnt be happier.

Now Bokkies do yoour part tomorrow and join our party in the final!

Men against boys oaks. 

The score flattered the wee abs. ENGLAND  sh ould have been 30 points ahead. 

Eddie Jones out smarted Hansen. 

As I have said for some time the wee abs pack is a tad on the sift side 

Abs never fielded their best wings. Big selection error. 

Bok pack can match England but our backs are not as organized 

Go Bokke make the final. 

Moola, good man. Fair play kiwis not at their best, just one of those days. You cant win em all and you guys havent lost in ages so yeah. GG.

Red Bokkies all about that tight five power and breakdown menace. Its a reversal of 2007 between them and us so I hope it happens. We got too much firepower etc.

Itoje, Underhill, Curry in particular outstanding for England.

def GG -  

Mounga at 10 was hansons biggest folly.... 

why would you move the BEST 10 to a different position to me prob a little arrogance.... ?

Credit to my kiwi buds on here to be so gracious in defeat... respect.

Well done England!

Wow! On that performance you have to wonder if Wales or the Bokke have a chance in the final.

Goooooooooooooo Bokke!!!!!!!!

Plum let's be honest the ref never won the game for England. 

England were by some distance the better side. 

Your theory was actually blown up! 

Hey rooitwit try and support the Boks against Wales. 

EJ signed till 2021 with england... he' ll coach brit lions and then be like return of the jedi....

Plum if that was reffed properly we'd have scored over 30! Anyways no point bitching about it now. It was great to watch, seriously exciting and I cant wait for either Bokkies or Wales. I think Bokkies have a better chance of stopping us, but only if their pack gives 110% to keep it tight and grind us down a bit.

Supersport are not using Mallet. Wonder why. He by far the best commentator

Its funny Red that last year so many wanted Jones sacked. I laughed at the time beause that was never gonna happen. Best coach in the business in my books.

Very astute coach for sure. 

He had nz completely worked out. 

It looked like NZ wasn't really trying.  Last year at Loftus the Boks were all over the AB's for the first 3/4...and then NZ woke up and took the match back in the last 15. I was waiting for it today, but nothing happened...WTH? What happened to the NZ never-say-die attitude? They rolled over and played dead... from the get go.

Congrats Poms, you played very well. 

Go Bokke.

For sure Beeno.

Owens didn't really help England too much. He didn't need to. They played well and got a lot of favourable bounce.

Just remember, this is the same England we made mincemeat of and would have beaten in their backyard if their skip's high shot on Andre was called as it should have been. And that's before our pack really started gelling under Rassie.

Our set piece matches their's easily and our back line defend better. They're smarter than us though and have more game breakers.

Basically, we're better than them at some of the things WC finals require.

ABs we're shocking under the high ball. England were not great either but at least they got someone there to tap it back. Did anyone take a high ball in traffic today? 

ABs also lost the territorial battle. Badly. And that's an area were Eng have an advantage over us. If we use Kolbe, Willie, Mapimpi or Nkosi, none of whom are great distance kickers, we could suffer the same fate. 

England did play well, especially especially up front. But the ABs were the worst I've seen them and they were still in touch for most of the game.

One weird moment was when the ABs were staging a bit of a comeback and there was a potential high shot as an AB got hit into touch. The TMO's words, before the review even started "Let's clear this and more on." I thought that was fishy. The tackler did try to wrap, and the call was correct. It just looked like there was intent to clear it from the outset though.

If SA get to the final. They stand a better chance than most think.

Pity Jerome is gonna shaft us tomorrow.

Oh well, the next time we see most of the Kiwis will be if/when SA lose tomorrow or in the final.

Plump and El Draado Green in the face... hahahaha! You didn't mince us you sent dumb muscle route one for 60 minutes and that got you how many points??? Yeah nothing then WE minced YOU! Ran your lot ragged just like we did when we put 5 tries on you at altitude. Your Bokkies haven't played anywhere near like that in this entire decade. 

El Draado it's pretty obvious what happened we played better. You controlled them but couldn't take your chances and then collapsed with stupid penalties etc and making dumb mistakes. They tried really hard today but we gave them nothing. If they rolled over we'd have put 50 on them and they'd have scored a big fat ZERO! 

Credit where its due... Engerland won fair and square against loads of really bad calls and we did it in style. Just acceot it because if I wanted to I could talk about your ridiculously easy route to a final... if you get that far. Probably the easiest in rugby history. 

"ABs we're shocking under the high ball. England were not great either but at least they got someone there to tap it back. Did anyone take a high ball in traffic today? "

Allblacks were shocking all over the park. They looked lethargic and hung over.

"Credit where its due... Engerland won fair and square against loads of really bad calls and we did it in style"

Agreed, England came to play and they did for sure, just a pity NZ didn't pitch. I saw now fight in them...maybe it's even more credit to England, but I'm not convinced.

Having said all that, if SA make the finals, the Poms are clear favorites and it will take a mammoth effort and a fair bit of luck to beat them. I 'm just hoping for a better matchup than today...NZ were never in it...never...does no one find it odd?

PS, I'm not trying to take away from an excellent Pom effort, they played like World Champions...I'm perplexed by how NZ folded...almost like Ireland lastweek...ad the stupid 22 tactics of Ozz...I call horse manure...something is fucky as hell...and I know it sounds stupid, but the status quo is stupid too.

Go Bokke!!!!
