Phenomenal performance from 🌹. Dominated a dominate team. If it was 26-0, no one would have batted an eyelid.
One more hurdle to go.

Awesome .
What a defensive display stopped one of the best in the world.
Not bad going forward either.

seldom do you see the All Blacks snuffed out like that....

England outplayed the All Blacks in every facet today.
The TMO called both of those correctly too.

Makes it even more joyful a watch ðŸ‘ðŸ˜...
Hopefully, living in Wales, you've been advising your neighbours they are playing for second spot...

Yes...excellent! TMO is a pain....but fair I suppose...but why didn't they pick up forward passes by the NZ towards the end? Surely they are looking for everything?

The linesmen were pretty poor. Missed the forward passes and the skew line out throws

BUT... they missed a couple of clear NZ forward passes which is surprising in a game where one of the main rules is 'no forward passes'
Very watchable due to the Japan-style, snappy passing & adventurous off-loads ( I think both sides have learnt something there)..... awesome defence by both...... & limited time wasted in re-setting of the scrums.
Over-all a worthwhile watch.... Now for Sheff Wed v dirty-Leeds, doubt it'll be as engaging but I do like Beilsa

Also some passes which go forward aren’t classed as forward passes. It’s the direction of the hands that dictate that although there has always been the classic “kiwi flat pass†which went 5 meters forward

I thought there was some obstruction and the hand in the face should have been a yellow card - that needs stopping in the game.
Some big hits that were legal, so it can be done. I think the second disallowed try should have been allowed, not enough evidence against not giving it. But England came to play and the NZ guys were magnanimous in defeat - a really good sporting display by both sides.
Now do I support Wales or SA? SA I think, as the Welsh have not been as hot as they could be.

He is quality and Curry is not far behind on the other side - they are both very adaptable

After reading that.... an even greater achievement by Eng. On a Par with the way the AB's usually romp home

Wow. Just wow. Brilliant start, that really set the tone. Maro Itoje was immense and deservedly man of the match. Hard to remember a New Zealand side that struggled so much to get a foothold in the game. As a non-rugby player were we hard done by with the two disallowed tries and how much was Jonker trying to influence the outcome?

Just wonder had that accidental offside happened in play further down the pitch would play have continued and then be pulled back had a try been scored several phases later? Either way, each time we seemed even more resolute and came back again stronger, turning ball over and disrupting everything NZ had. A shame about the line-out as a complete close out would have been the cherry on top

First try was clear obstruction, Nigel got it wrong on the field, the second one is far more marginal, can argue that George was always in contact with the ball so isnt a forward pass
