You here for the match LT?

by **Rugby Fan** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:03 am

Getting dark as the sun starts going down. Cloudy, so there's a small chance of rain, but it should stay clear.

by maestegmafia Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:13 am

Only 45 mins to go. Very exciting.

by nathan Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:28 am

Can’t see past a kiwis win really. They’ll be kicking a lot, either to daly or for touch

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:29 am

I’m not usually one for cheering on England, the sworn enemy and all that, but......... C’mon England! Rooting for you today.

by nathan Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:30 am

England wales final? :p

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:32 am

Eddie Jones words ..we’re ready to go, been waiting 2.5 years... that’s the sort of words you don’t wanna hear. Sly fox... Cool

by No 7&1/2 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:32 am

I'll be really disappointed if england dont put in a great performance today. Of course we could lose but this team is class. At very very least New Zealand should be walking away thanking their lucky stars they're through.

by eirebilly Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:32 am

Good luck England and the English fans on here. Think ye will turn the AB's today thumbsup

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:35 am

Too soon for that, anything can happen. Has the hallmarks of a great game though, both teams look ready, in form, well coached, well prepared. Individually some stunning players, X factor in both. Got it all.

by majesticimperialman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:35 am

Yes, this is the biggest game for England and this England team.

Are they good enough to win? Yes i think they can.

Cannot wait for kick off to be honest.

Come on England.

by BamBam Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:40 am

I've never been so nervous for a game, we're underdogs but I can't remember feeling so cautiously optimistic that we can actually turn NZ over since 2003

Good luck to the Kiwis on here

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:41 am

Benches could be critical though ai hope not, Cane coming on fresh half time will be interesting. Moody’s adamant they want to run England around the park.

by **RiscaGame** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:43 am

Best of luck to England today. Hope they go well. I bet England to win the tournament, after the second Wales warm up game. Just had a feeling about them, after showing their depth.

The build up has been brilliant too. I thought 90 mins would be too long, but it has been pretty good.

Good luck England, you’ve got this Scotsman rooting for you today!

Eddie giving away bugger all in that interview

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:53 am

All Blacks certainly look like they are in the zone whilst walking out!

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:56 am

Morning Gentlemen, enjoy.

by nathan Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:57 am

Oooof

The nerves.

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:59 am

And people say GSTQ is dull!

by MightyQuin Sat 26 Oct 2019, 8:59 am

Is this an even more dull anthem than ours? Goes on about 10 bars too long.

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:00 am

Nice

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:01 am

Why shouldn't we wind them up

by nathan Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:02 am

Refs sorting out the offside line already at the haka

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:02 am

What fine are we getting then

by Heaf Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:02 am

That's the trouble with ITV - adverts just before kick off

by majesticimperialman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:03 am

Like England's responce to the Haka. Doing almost opposite of New Zealand's reverse arrow head.

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:04 am

What was with the reverse mighty ducks formation?

by BamBam Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:05 am

What a start!

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

As Lt Jones would say

“They don’t like it up em”

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

What a start by England

Fantastic try

by mikey_dragon Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

Go England!

by majesticimperialman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

What a start. 98 seconds and En gland score a fantastic try.

by MightyQuin Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

Fantastic rugby!

by No 7&1/2 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

This match is going to kill me.

by Guest Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

Wow! Awesome try.

by Heaf Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:06 am

by MightyQuin Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:07 am

We’ve been holding back

by eirebilly Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:07 am

Oh what a start.

That's how you take New Zealand apart.

by Duty281 Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:07 am

Swing that mighty chariot. England’s day, lads.

by **BigGee** Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:08 am

Are NZ rattled?

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:09 am

I’ll tell you in 10 mins

Are they rattled or have England just made em angry?

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:09 am

No bad

by Taylorman Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:12 am

Barrett runs down May...cool...

by tigertattie Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:12 am

What happened to May’s pace. He just got caught by 2nd row Barrett

by eirebilly Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:12 am

This is how rugby should be played.

by TightHEAD Sat 26 Oct 2019, 9:12 am

How did may not score?
