Crap match so far.

Utter gash.

Can’t see NZ losing to either of these sides.
It’s a WC SF, result is the only thing that matters.

Everyone was also saying SA would smash this England side. It’s not like NZ came into this tournament flying, not sure why they invoke such confidence.

England are winning this. SA not turned up and not dealing with the conditions but have to say England have been impressive. Dull but effective game plan.

Once I can remember. I don’t disagree with the decision but there have been others and they haven’t been penalised.
This is actually the first game I’ve seen where throws have been penalised for not being straight.

Thats 3 overall now (plus George’s little feck up there). It’s weird it’s all of a sudden being so strictly looked at. As if they’ve been told before hand.

I’ve always thought a lot of throws look squint but never get called.

Definitely agree. I posted similar earlier. So many dodgy line out throws across the tournament.

It can't be overstated, England's defense has been excellent.

This is what rugby usually seems like to me. Soooooo dull

Yeah England this is grim. Just go and lose valiantly like Ireland.
