England v New Zealand

[woodward]

He make a kick down field then stole the ball from the receiver or something, I can't remember exactly Nothing spectacular, but it was solid.

True, solid and helped close out a game. Don't think he had a blinder when they tried it in Hong Kong though, or was that the other way around

Eesh, I hope the Ford brothers don't pay too much attention to their dad.

Welcome to The Rugby Forum and TV Guide.

Hey, dont get sarcastic with the Munster no.8!

Looking forward to this game, just to see what Lawes, Ashton, Foden and Youngs can do against the best side in the world! Hoping England will play some good rugby and not defend for 80mins. Defending will lead to a simliar score line to last year (19 - 6). New Zealand are beatable, just have to be a very good side to actually beat them!

Heart says England by 3, head says NZ by 7



also Donald, LOL

England could conceivably keep it tight and slow and not lose by more than 20

There's pride before the fall if I've ever seen it.

All we would like from Steve Donald's parents (Larksea and Invictus) is admission that he had a shocker last week. If you guys had said "yip he played poorly, possibly cost us the game. Hope he plays better next time" I'm sure the rest of us wouldn't have felt so strongly about making the obvious point he had a nightmare. If he had played well you two would've been the first on here giving it the "i told you so" treatment, so why not have a bit of honesty when he doesn't do well.

I'm actually not at all that confident. If Carter/SBW/Nonu gets a knock then I will be even more nervous. I think it's a decent chance for England to knock us over to be honest if they come out firing, get the crowd in behind them and Flood kicks well.

not really, just the likely outcomes if this untested NZ backline fires, which I think it will but theres a relatively high chance it wont. What I'm doing is instead of being safe predicting in the middle of what I consider to be the possible outcomes I'm going for the one which I think is most likely, that being something along the lines of 12-35. If the Blacks have a good game they will pass 40 with 20 minutes left and empty the useless bench. I can also see the AB's not clicking like last year and it being close like that was.

Ben Franks has withdrawn with a back injury, John Afoa replaces him on the bench

Forty pages before kick-off has to be some kind of record.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fairly impressive
Especially compared to the 9 of Wales v Australia
