10-0 at halftime. Come on England...

England lead the All Blacks at half time. Can we hold out?

We will if we hold our discipline! We have been really good in this game up to now in not giving stupid penalties away.
Never write off the All Blacks though. Fingers crossed!

[Supersub6]

It is going to be very tough now because the All Blacks will have been lifted by that score. I am not a betting man ---and grateful for that!

Tremendous performance and deservedly into the final.
Interestingly, I thought that the officials missed one or two things like forward passes etc., however, no problems in the end.

Can Wales turn the Springboks over? We shall see tomorrow!

[The Bedlington Terrier]

That was just about the best I have seen England play since we beat Australia on their own turf, to win the World Cup.

Fantastic performance and makes me proud to be English.

Caught the second half, we played very well

England played very well and were deserved winners. However, before everyone over the other side of the Severn Bridge gets carried away just put this into context.All England have done is win a game of rugby, albeit against a very good team who were second best today. Every dog has its day. There are two teams playing tomorrow who are ecstatic about the fact that the All Blacks have been knocked out. They would both much rather be playing a team who have yet to be tested and most important of all , are very capable of winning next Saturdays final. England will deservedly be installed as favourites, and the media machine and hype to go with it, will be in full fllow over the next 7 days. It’s something we get used to in the Principality.

Frankly malwayne, I would fancy our chances against the Boks rather than the Welsh, but what a final that would be. Good luck for tomorrow in the Principality!

I'm on this side of the Severn Bridge Mal and I'm getting carried away. That wasn't the English dog having it's day, that was the All Blacks, up until this morning the best team in World Rugby by a country mile, being absolutely obliterated in every single aspect of the game, including coaching, in a WC semi-final. I don't watch a great deal of RU so I've been reading everything I can from people who know the game inside out, people who have forgotten more about the game than I'll ever know, and they all say the same thing, they've never seen anything like it before. And if you think England haven't been tested, you didn't see the previous game where Australia were comprehensively outplayed as well.

This has been coming a long while, for years England have suffered with injuries, it did for Lancaster and Jones had to live with it for his first three years as well, they've played game after game with 5/6/7 or more first choice players unavailable through injury, I've always thought if the injuries cleared up for the WC in Japan they'd win it, and Jones has got lucky, they've arrived in Japan more or less injury free for the first time in many years, and they now have a strength in depth not even the All Blacks can equal.

I hope your lads get through Mal, it will give me the greatest pleasure to see Wales go the same way as Australia and the All Blacks in the final, but somehow I think it'll be the Saffers on the receiving end, which will be a shame.

I am Sub, and I was on England at 13/2 just after the 6 Nations. Stealing money.
