Not many mard players screaming at the ref that he's made a mistake.

RESPECT is the key, VAR or no VAR

We could have had 3 tries with better handling.

But will take this so far.

Needed that kick before half time. Deserved lead.

10-0 at half time. Not even Leicester can score that many.

We have been very disciplined in this match so far and not given stupid penalties away. We need to keep the discipline and we will have a great chance, however, you can never be sure against the All Blacks!

Not a proper rugby fan. Don’t even know most of the rules. But always try and watch games like this.

What makes me laugh is the force they tackle each other with. And incidents like Evans last week where he rolls around and claims there was contact. Embarrassing

A little bit more composure and we’d be out of sight. Gret performance no matter what happens from now on.

You never had your ankle tapped while running? It's quite a common tackle in rugby because rugby players know that if you tap a players' ankle while they're running it takes minimum contact to cause them to fall.

Meh. The tries shouldn't have stood, but England have been much better, and i'm not sure why the push in the face didn't warrant a yellow card for New Zealand.

They'll do well to blow it from here.

The commentator's said a few times that this is a huge upset, but these two are ranked 1 and 2 in the world. It's not an upset.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:00 am

Just shows the difference between football and rugby with respect to the officials. The way the England players accepted the decisiond with the disallowed tries was exemplary. Imagine if that had been two disallowed goals, the ref would have been mobbed.
