It's very exciting! How many more tries are they going to disallow?

Yes! And I KNOW!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/10/2019 10:27

Yes. V exciting. Bit nervous about the narrow lead.

AgeLikeWine · 26/10/2019 10:29

The officials are finding any possible excuse to stop England scoring points. Rugby obviously really, really wants the ABs in the final....

Interested in this thread?

Yes. I support Wales but am very happy for England. This must be better than they expected! Fabulous passing, in the past England teams seem to have relied too much on kicking but this is fabulous open rugby

I'm watching with my husband! I don't understand the game at all but he's very animated for 10.30am in a Saturday!!

I am on the edge of my seat!

Haha commentator just said 'If you've got any fingernails left . . . now its time to start on your toes'

Great game... England should be so much further ahead.

AgeLikeWine · 26/10/2019 10:34

That was a complete cock-up by England. We have absolutely battered NZ for 58 mins, then we let them back into the game. We need the experienced players to keep calm and manage the last 20 mins.

user1493423934 · 26/10/2019 10:34

WTF are AB's playing at?? lots of shouting in my house . .

AgeLikeWine · 26/10/2019 10:34

Underhill has been immense.

Lockheart · 26/10/2019 10:34

I really don't think the officials are trying to prevent England winning Confused both tries were clearly not allowable as seen on the TMO - and I say this as an England supporter! Disappointing yes but still the correct decision. Nigel Owens is a fantastic ref.

Getting a bit more of a lead again, but I'm so nervous right now!

Yeah, the TMO decisions were right. But it's still hard to take!

We've just got to hold on now.

GinasGirl · 26/10/2019 10:37

I'm listening to it on the way to the airport. It's tense in this car I can tell you!! (Obvs I'm not driving)

Would be a nightmare in my house - everyone except me is Welsh!

Parkandride · 26/10/2019 10:41

I'm waiting to get picked up and they're late which is fine by me, c'mon England!
