I wish Daly would have a word with himself. He's not really trying to be involved.

It's testament to New Zealand that I'm still so terrified with 5 minutes to go and a 12 point lead.

Bugger. Just thoroughly out-played and out-coached from start to finish. You guys will be strong favourites for the final.

So is that 2 final warnings, and 4 penalties after them, and still no cards?

We've beaten the All Blacks up. Our pack has been monstrous.

Another forward pass.

Dude, just be happy.

Great England performance. For all of the complaints over the last couple of years there is something to be said for building to a series of massive performances every four years.

We were amazing. We even beat the TMO.

That was phenomemal. They only scored due to our error. They barely got into our 22.

I was just saying to a mate this morning, who is English but lived here 9 years, that if both teams played their best, NZ would win, otherwise it was anybody’s game. Only one team was near their best and that made it pretty hard for the other team to be even adequate.

The best team on the night certainly won. Well done to your lads. I’m pleased it didn’t come down to a card or any controversial call.
