    Wonder what the odds are of Eddie taking a page out of the Italian's playbook and stitching up uncontested scrums?

    That would be pretty smart, only one prop away

    Cole to cop an injury? Does test rugby play man off? (I.E. the team that forces uncontested has to play with 14 players)?

    Dunno, but I think they'd do better with 14 and uncontested scrums, than what they're doing ATM

      @sparky Yes. To you rugby tragics, trench warfare is great. For 80% of the viewing public, they want to see ball movement, sweeping backline moves and tries.

      I disagree that’s what rugby fans want. That’s what you want.

        The way the All Blacks play is what the market wants to see. This is a dud product.

        Go watch league then.

        2-all at halftime between NZ and GB 🙄 woot.

          But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

          England can.

          England need to get tighter not looser.

          Eddie spent two and a half years working out how to beat us.

          He didn't have time to watch your semifinal! 🙂

            To you, maybe. To millions others it’s a titanic battle.

              And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

              England are better than Wales.

              Go back to basics. Pick & go. Commit and tire the Boks.

              Boks will give away penalties.

              Kick for territory.

              England win.

                              Their pick and go looked good once they got in the other half , getting up that end of the field is key for them

                                But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

                                England can.

                                England need to get tighter not looser.

                                SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control

                                And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

                                England are better than Wales.

                                Go back to basics. Pick & go. Commit and tire the Boks.

                                Boks will give away penalties.

                                Kick for territory.

                                England win.

                                It's not rocket science.

                                Lol. Ok, if my auntie had wheels she’d be a bike.

                                  The way the All Blacks play is what the market wants to see. This is a dud product.

                                  We won a WC 8-7 so I wouldn’t go too far down that line. Rugby can be trench warfare and be exciting

                                  It wasn't exciting at all. Fucking sucked. I thought I was going to die

                                        No team who has gone into the half ahead has lost a RWC final..

                                          Did any England player chase that kick from Ford?
