BanburyRed Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 They never had a kick at goal and we gifted them their try. Englands best all round 80min performance for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a passing rugby fan I could see how good he was when he came on as an 18 year old replacement in a 6 nations game. He just looked like he belonged there. He now looks like he can do anything he wants when he decides he wants that ball back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 NZ made to look very ordinary there by a massive England performance that literally crushed their running game. We look so physically strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very impressed with way they crushed the Aussies last week and again today against the All Blacks - England never looked under threat. Eddie Jones a rugby genius in my view.

He was fantastic against Bristol last season too, head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch. I had never seen him before so have looked out for him playing for England etc since. Easily MOTM today, a hugely important player for us for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 That was a better England performance than any of their 2003 WC performances, I would say. England talked themselves up a bit in the build up, and walked the walk. Hope kiwiCol is ok/we win tomorrow to cheer him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted October 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just looking at Maro Itoje's career... The bloke is only 24 years old and has won: - four premiership titles - Three European cups - two Six Nations - Now in a World Cup final Also capped as a B&I Lion. He's basically done it all already!

The Batman Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Outstanding all over the park. I said it at the time (wish I posted it on here) but new Zealand were not great against Ireland, its just Ireland were very poor and made basic mistakes that you'd expect watching me play. I was quite confident going into this mornings game. But you can only beat what is in front of you and everyone was excellent. Itoje, lawes, curry and underhill all exceptional above the others though. Tomorrow morning will be a great game. I said South Africa earlier in this thread because of their forward power, de klerk and le roux. I think they'll win. Repeat of the 07 final. Utter shithousery if Wales beat them then beat us next Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishRed Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 England were magnificent today. The gave the AB almost nothing, and this generation are a very very good side. I don’t fancy the Welsh tomorrow but it would be great to have an all Northern hemisphere final. Regardless, England will win next Saturday and deservedly so.

B1ackbird Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Need Wales to win with a +9 start for my treble to come in, so South Africa by three points would be both hilarious and profitable at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
