Can't find a thread so thought I'd start one nice and early for some pre chat.

Really don't think either England or Wales are going to get out of the pool rounds 🙁

Put up a fight England!
No-one expects any more of you- you've already exceeded expectations.

England are going to be cremated. Should have been France in the final and Ireland in the semi’s at least.
I don’t really care who wins the final now. SA rugby provides the Premiership teams with some great players so for me the less disappointing of the two top Southern Hemisphere teams. NZ are less smug though.

Anyone else spot Farrell singing Queen instead of King st the end of the national anthem?!! Can’t decide whether to 🤣🤣or 😡😡😡

Davros · 21/10/2023 20:01

I hope we play better than we did in the cricket earlier today (also against SA)

GrouchyKiwi · 21/10/2023 20:38

South Africa looking fairly clueless at the moment, which is surprising.

Peaceandquietfinally · 21/10/2023 20:46

England doing ok so far 😊

Bone11 · 21/10/2023 20:49

Pleasantly surprised so far!

algasport · 21/10/2023 20:53

Great first half but SA will be getting an absolute roasting at half time so I fully expect a different team to emerge.
So happy with England!

Wakemeuuuup · 21/10/2023 20:55

England are doing so well. Hope they can keep it up

It's pretty boring though.

I can't believe they're taking Etzebeth off already!

Big mistakes at the line out from George.

duc748 · 21/10/2023 21:22

It's all ugly stuff, but SA look very out of sorts.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 21/10/2023 21:38

I can barely breathe

JayAlfredPrufrock · 21/10/2023 21:40

I knew I shouldn’t have commented

GrouchyKiwi · 21/10/2023 21:53

1 point again! Madness.

FinnRustle · 21/10/2023 21:55

Poor Bill Beaumont. He looks gutted.

algasport · 21/10/2023 21:55

Could not be prouder- well played England!

FinnRustle · 21/10/2023 21:57

I hope the All Blacks dance all over them next week.

Wakemeuuuup · 21/10/2023 21:58

That was so hard. Poor England, they deserved to win that

JayAlfredPrufrock · 21/10/2023 21:58

Gutted

JayAlfredPrufrock · 21/10/2023 21:59

Told my SA family I hope NZ take them to the cleaners

Bone11 · 21/10/2023 22:01

Gutted!

Which they probably will!

To be honest, I expected SA to be a lot stronger here and like a few others on this thread didn’t expect England to play well at all, which they did, should George Ford have been brought on before, big fat yes.

algasport · 21/10/2023 22:02

Better to go out like that then be trounced by NZ in the final.
Hope the All Blacks absolutely thrash them!

GrouchyKiwi · 21/10/2023 22:03

I don't think it's likely we'll thrash them. I think it will be a close match, and I can't call it.
