Graces and Skeen in the Final, England and South Africa you’re both screwed..lol
Jerome Garces to referee Rugby World Cup final
If you switched the forwards with England’s forwards and ABs backs and the results would’ve go the ABs, possibly the same result probably more. England’s forwards dominated their opponents, which gave them front foot ball and makes the jobs easier for their backs.
ABs on the other hand got dominated. Their forwards getting smashed from fierce English tackles, leaving their backs and especially Mounga clueless in attack.
Boy how we missed Jerome Kaino at number 6. He would’ve dealt with those powerful big men in whites.
Still yet to find Kainos replacement at 6. Saveas a natural 7, looks more like to be Reads replacement at 8. Frizell the man at 6 for me.
Hansen made the wrong gamble at 6, should’ve been Frizell instead of Scott.
Next years end of year tour rematch if it happens should be good.
Where it all went wrong for the All Blacks against England
Dull rugby, but this is knockout stage, a win is a win. Boks gotta change it up a bit next week against England. Hopefully a more entertaining final.
Top of the Boks: South Africa join England in World Cup Final
I thought it was a good response..
England's explosive start after adopting different tactics at the Haka
All Blacks were just got dominated from the get go. Not once they threaten the English tryline the whole game. One time they got a real threat was that breakaway run by Rettalick. England were just too good, and you don’t say that often against the All Blacks.
I thought that was a brilliant response to the haka. From there England got their numbers. Eddie Jones coaching masterclass was shown. Steve Hansens already regretted his decision to put Scott at 6. That was never a good call. Englands 6 and 7 made him pay.
A big If, how would’ve the ABs have played if they had Ben, Crotty, Rieko on the field. Don’t forget this was a winning backline before-Smith, Beauden, Rieko, ALB, Crotty, Naholo, Ben. What could’ve been.
But, no point arguing over spilt milk. England deserve to be in next weeks big dance. They were far the better team. All Blacks in rebuild mode after next weeks game and post Hansen.
Five talking points from England vs All Blacks
As much as I want the Boks to go all the way now that ABs are out, there’s some part of me want Wales to go all the way as well.
Its nice to have a new World Cup winner, and Wales are a huge rugby nation so if they beat the Boks I will be cheering them on. But Boks for the win.

Congrats England. You’ve done us two World Cups in one year. (Should’ve won the cricket though)..
All Blacks all over: England knock New Zealand out of Rugby World Cup
Its hard to write off the Boks and the Welsh. This is a three way decider. All Blacks, England and the winner of Boks v Wales.
Is the England-All Blacks winner really the automatic favourite?
England gotta come up with something other then the rolling maul to beat the ABs. Coz last week ABs completely shut off the strong Irish maul.
I know England is a far better team then the Irish, but the All Blacks should come away with the win. ABs by 17.
Wales v South Africa is an interesting one. Wales have been unconvincing as of late. But they were an in form team coming in the World Cup. South Africa are favourites and should come away with the win. But it could be close. Boks by 15.
Rugby World Cup semi-finals expert tips: stress-free and freakin’ out!
To be honest though, cheap red cards don’t apply to finals matches. If this was a Pool match, it will definitely be reviewed and most likely end up a yellow or red.
I know the refs themselves don’t wanna give out cheap red cards like they did in the Pools and just let the game flow, unless there is a dangerous reckless foul play involved.
Why we'll have an all-southern hemisphere World Cup final
My only fear for this match is a red card on either teams in the first half. I know both can handle a yellow, but a red early on in the match will ruin the contest.
But the match itself hopefully will live up to that billing of being one of the greatest rugby matches ever. I don’t wanna see goal penalties after goal penalties. I wanna tries scored from both teams.
All Blacks should get the win, but you never know. Eddie Jones might got something up his sleeve.
All Blacks vs England will be one of the greatest rugby matches ever
All Blacks at half strength
1. Moody
2. Coltman
3. Laulala
4. Tuipolotu
5. Whitelock
6. Frizell
7. Todd
8. Read
9. Webber
10. Beauden
11. Ioane
12. Crotty
13. Goodhue
14. Jordie
15. Smith
No arrogance or ignorance. As you can see, this is not their full strength side, most of the starting players are not selected, yet still retain some of their best. That team can definitely beat England.
England at full strength for clash with All Blacks
All Blacks at half strength can beat them
England at full strength for clash with All Blacks
In all honesty, can’t just blame the man for all their failings. Some of the burden should fall on the players themselves. Coach can only do much. Wallabies have been bad since Ewen and Deans. Their record isn’t that much better.
Rebuild must start from the very top.
What legacy does Michael Cheika leave, and what does his successor need to fix first?
He rather coach the All Blacks..but if the money is good I say why not..
The coach Jeremy Paul would pick to replace Michael Cheika
Game was similar to Oz v Eng. Loosers were in it in the first half, only for the obvious favourites to found their mojo in the second and blow them away.
Next week the Saffas should take care of Wales easily. And the match that should’ve been the Final will be winner of this World Cup, Eng v AB. Easy money on ABs, they’re the only ones playing flawlessly.

If they can get Ireland’s coach that would be good. And Ireland can get Cheika lol.

Michael Cheika goes off at journalist after World Cup elimination
Great performance all around. Mimics a similar performance at the same stage four years ago against France.
No luck for the Irish: All Blacks into semis with 46-14 win
I thought it’s a great pick. The backline just pure pace and attacking flare. ALB/Goodhue is the future Nonu/Smith. Laumape might have a say in that as well..
Retallick right to go again as All Blacks unveil formidable quarter-final side
$20 on England, New Zealand, Wales and South Africa to win 20+…. good bet?
How the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals will play out
Well we’ll about to find out this Saturday..
With a massive selection gamble, Michael Cheika rearranges the deck chairs once again
No need for a change of plans from Eddie. Just follow up from last week.
