Re: ENG vs NZ - RWC Semi
Ford and Farrell 15 tackles - the most by an England player (14 from Underhill).longlivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:24 pm There's been a lot of talk about Daly being a poor fullback, which he probably is, but NZ didn't get a chance to expose that weakness as England were all over them in defence.
Youngs had his best game for a while and showed how good he is when playing at pace and with quick ball. Ford didn't take a backward step - his tackle count must have been near, if not exactly, 100% and he controlled the game perfectly.
And Manu looks reborn. He was excellent in both attack and defence and Coley did what Dan does - the.simple things really well. You don't get 94 caps by being a **** player.
We do have some real gems in our squad - we just need to play to their strengths once they return.
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Re: ENG vs NZ - RWC Semi
Yes and compare also the missed tackle count of both (Ford wins).
I know stats don't paint the full picture but interesting to see Curry v Underhill tackle stats, Curry missed 4 out of 5!

Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
Re: ENG vs NZ - RWC Semi
Wales would not have lived with that England performance today, are you sure we don't want them next week. Our attack and defence were the best I have ever seen, the ABs just had no idea how to break our tackling, Underhill, Wow what a disruptive player he is. Amazing result. I don't normally praise NO but today he did well for us.

Whilst it’s brilliant to see Tigers players doing so well as part of a successful England team, a part of me wishes they were wearing Tigers shirts and not England shirts...

They would look a bit odd if the rest were all wearing England shirts.markharbtiger wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 4:27 pm Whilst it’s brilliant to see Tigers players doing so well as part of a successful England team, a part of me wishes they were wearing Tigers shirts and not England shirts...
Re: ENG vs NZ - RWC Semi
I thought the second disallowed try was tough, I would argue it was Retallick’s hand that played it forward not George’s.
Feel bad for Underhill though , that’s twice he has been disallowed versus the All Blacks.

Re: ENG vs NZ - RWC Semi
It was touch and go for Lennys try, but was there conclusive proof to overturn the on field decision of try.
Thought on the whole Nigel had a very good game, can see him being given the final and Wayne getting the 3rd/4th playoff

VotC, Turks, in this instance refers to Llanelli fans.....a previous landlord was one such.voice of the crumbie wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:09 pmGiven the first comment Dai, are you sure it's the One-Eyed Turk you're drinking in and not the one-eyed Welshman?
But you're right of course.

Re: ENG vs NZ - RWC Semi
I'm sure the Welsh coaches are out doing their rain dances ready for tomorrow. If the awful weather keeps up you'd have thought Biggar's kicking game and the Welsh back three being very good under the high ball will be a real asset. As long as Wales control the territory and don't allow that big Book team to gain momentum they'll do well.Big Dai wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 5:01 pmVotC, Turks, in this instance refers to Llanelli fans.....a previous landlord was one such.voice of the crumbie wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 2:09 pmGiven the first comment Dai, are you sure it's the One-Eyed Turk you're drinking in and not the one-eyed Welshman?

Re: ENG vs NZ - RWC Semi
Replayed, very clear that a NZ hand struck the ball from George's hand but he recovered it. TMO rubbish.

I believe that he was the guy who saw nothing wrong with a horrendous forward pass that the on field ref rightly adjudged as forwards in one of the quarter finalsjgriffin wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 5:28 pmReplayed, very clear that a NZ hand struck the ball from George's hand but he recovered it.
