Can't see a thread on this ....

Any rugby lovers here? Not many of my girlfriends share my love of rugby.

France/Argentina - cracking close match.

Japan/Russia - glad the home team won.

Australia/Fiji fantastic first half.

And now the All Blacks v Springboks - can't wait ....

This is NOT the result rugby wanted. We have just beaten the All Blacks, the referee and the TMO. NZ got every single decision over the 80 mins but we still beat them.

The TMO decision for the first disallowed try was correct....

What rubbish. Did you miss the penalties against them that England scored on?

Anyway they played well and had unbeatable defence, ABs just couldn’t get through

Congrats guys - you deserved that win, and we deserve to go home.

user764329056 · 26/10/2019 11:02

Need a lay down now, just totally brilliant!

AnOojamaflip · 26/10/2019 11:03

Ha no JacquesHammer after I posted I actually thought about it and realised it wasn't!!

Last 20 would have been a better number to have written

cricketmum84 · 26/10/2019 11:03

Absolutely elated! What a game!!!

Cannot wait for next weekend now!

Mama1980 · 26/10/2019 11:04

Yes! Wow that's a stressful way to start the day though

JacquesHammer · 26/10/2019 11:04

Definitely!

My most tense moment ever was coming from behind to win after the final hooter had gone Grin

AlunWynsKnee · 26/10/2019 11:05

Well done England.

MrsJoshNavidi · 26/10/2019 11:07

Nice one England. I think they have the championship in the bag now.

MrsJoshNavidi · 26/10/2019 11:08

@AgeLikeWine don't be ridiculous.

RickOShay · 26/10/2019 11:13

They so so so deserved that
Bloody well done.

beanaseireann · 26/10/2019 11:14

Well done England.
The All Blacks annihilated us - Ireland.

AlunWynsKnee · 26/10/2019 11:14

The refereeing team missed some forward passes, yes but the amount of stuff going on on and the pace of it made it a very difficult game to referee.

Ha!!! I am still a bit tense now - feared getting a stomach ulcer in the last 20!! Tension now starting to morph into realisation!!

So who will England face? Can England stay strong or will they slip back into 2nd gear.

I'd assume SA, but seeing everyone expected NZ to either thrash england or win after a tight game, who knows!!

isittheholidaysyet · 26/10/2019 11:21

Well I'm glad to find you all. My Facebook feed is empty of Rugby!

What a match. Can I breathe now? Well done England. I have to say I didn't believe they had a chance. We can take it all the way now. Just need to be a little bit more careful about our throwing and catching.

AnOojamaflip · 26/10/2019 11:45

Oh dear, there appears to be always one!!

(Just come across it on twitter)

CalamityJune · 26/10/2019 11:47

What are thoughts on England's response to the Haka?

My first thought (based on limited understanding) is that as a battle cry/challenge it's not disrespectful for the opposition to meet this with their own show of strength?

moreturkeyforme · 26/10/2019 11:51

They stood there respectfully. Not sure what the issue is.

Will take a look on Twitter.

Any we beat NZL so all irrelevant now 🤣

CalamityJune · 26/10/2019 11:59

I think generally the Twitter response has been fine but it's been seen as unusual and I was wondering why it's not more of a 'thing' for opposing teams to have a response to it.

I don't however think the AB's success is down to the haka. They are a fantastic side regardless.

Rugbylife · 26/10/2019 12:04

I have never seen the AB’s make so many mistakes, England put pressure on them from the start. As much as it’s pains me to say it England outplayed them, hopefully they’ve done us a favour taking them out of Final and it will be a England V Wales final! If everyone in Wales prays very very hard we could bring it home🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Yeahnahyeah1 · 26/10/2019 13:00

What a game. What. A. Game. Couldn’t have been more impressed, that was amazing rugby to watch 👌🏻 We just met them and outplayed them the whole 80 minutes. Well worth telling customers to ‘just hang on a minute’ more than once 🙊

AlunWynsKnee · 26/10/2019 14:16

Is the problem Owen Farrell's 'smirk'? I can't stand Farrell but I can't see this is worth getting excited about.
