    Probably the best performance I've ever seen from the boys. The All Black's looked shell shocked. Brilliant! I'm hoping for a final against the spring bok.

    Absolutely fantastic. We nullified most of what they had and caused them to make mistakes. We played some excellent rugby at times.
    A well deserved victory and nice final to look forward to...and I don't care who is in the final with us...I'm just glad we are. Wahooooooooo.

    Not particularly a fan of rugby but always want to see the national side do well and it was hard not to get swept up in when i was listening ot the radio.

    Top, top performance.

    Don't underestimate this. Said months ago the power is now in the northern hemisphere.

    England won every battle going today including the mental, the physical and at the breakdown.

    They got in their faces at every opportunity and Eddie Jones had the right gameplan and the players enough ability and belief in it to execute perfectly.

    How novel is that idea.

    We could do with Eddie Jones here.

    He is quality Eddie Jones.Picks teams for the opposition and nearly always gets it right.He has been putting this side together ever since he got the job with this World Cup in mind.
    Got rid of quite a lot of well known players along the way.I just hope we win next week as it will be well deserved.Beating Australia and New Zealand along the way then possibly Wales/South Africa.It will definitely have been done the hard way.

    In one way I hope we face South Africa in the final.

    Playing Wales is the equivalent of a football Derby match when anything can happen.

    Yep glad it is South Africa, my second home . Wales get too excited like Scotland when they play us, act as if it's life or death.
