ABs five tries already...

Wales in for their 2nd try ... gives the fans in red something to cheer about.

After the AB's scored just after 1/2 time, just had the feeling the AB's put the cue in the rack

dunno about the 2nd welsh try

the bookies would have made some cash with the 21 point start

ABs 40-17 Wales

Well done New Zealand. Although third, you were easily the second best team

Early night tonight, then off out for an early start tomorrow in the 600 Baht bandwagon shirt



They had Australia shirts In there for 99 baht if anyone's interested

By the way if you lose to SA, a team we beat, then we’re the 2019 Moral Victory World Cup champs

And cricket

The moral double is on

Well done NZ ...

Class to the end

Both sides have a strong forward pack and set piece. In this World Cup, England have shown a greater ability to adapt to, and nullify, opposition tactics, than RSA have shown.

It's a final so style really if ever comes into it and it will more likely be a dour war of attrition, kicking for territory and forcing errors and penalties.

In that I think the Bokke actually shade it.

I suspect that England will insist on playing in the boks half of the pitch. With their ability to switch tactics from a forward game to a passing game, and vary their pace, the English will enjoy similar dominance to the pressure they put on the Kiwi game.
Remember that England have some seriously good kickers and catchers, who can adapt on the hoof.

Err righto.

Bit of a long bow to draw from one win over the All Blacks innit. They played some exceptional rugby in that match and deserved the win, but where is the evidence of all this ability to switch tactics? They finished second in the 6N, flogged a woeful Aussie in the Quarters, and proceeded through pool play as much as was expected (abandoned France game notwithstanding).

They thoroughly deserve to be in the final (and could yet win it) but I think given the defensive and plodding nature of finals it's a stretch to say they have it over the Bokke given that's pretty much been their game plan from the outset.

Not for nothing, but how weird is it that Gatland will now be coaching the Chiefs and Lions!?

Dumb it down as a fluke all you like after watching your team beat an injury ravaged tiny country of sheep fuckers with a population half the size of yours who field just the Jones and Davis, not half of Tonga... And whatever happens today, with you sat there supporting a team solely because they are situated just below the equator isn't gonna change the fact that your mighty All Blacks were brushed away with ease by the best team in the tournament.

Suck it up buttercup and prepare to pay homage.

It's coming home
