Rugby World Cup 2019

The most satisfying aspect is that it was absolutely incontestable. Even the most one-eyed Kiwi has absolutely nothing to cling to. No dodgy decisions, no "what ifs". Just plain old beaten, in every area.

[Risso]

Should be a yellow card for me.

Definite. Striking the face with any part of the arm is a yellow. Well done England, other than that crap lineout we gave them nowt.

Wales in the final?😉

Possibly the best performance from an England side in any sport.

Suffocated the life out of an outstanding team.

[SamTheMouse]

What an incredible defensive display. Just insane power and concentration.

This being England, we'll probably lose to the Boks now.

Very impressive from England. The big worry would be that they think that's job done. If they play like that in the final they will be World Champions.

Clive Woodward "We absolutely smashed them".

[TheMalandro]

What a magnificent performance.

[Flamingo Lane]

Very impressive from England. The big worry would be that they think that's job done. If they play like that in the final they will be World Champions.

I thought the immediate aftermath of the game was also hugely impressive - no celebrating as such, just solid collective satisfaction with a job done brilliantly. well.

I can't say I'm a huge rugby fan but as a team performance that was terrific.

Same here. England were a brick wall, NZ couldn't do anything at all and their try came from England missing that line out.

Massive favourites for the final now.

All stems from Eddie Jones, he's wanted this from day one so hugely calm and serious manner about them they arguably haven't had since 2003.

[Colhint]

could make spoty team of the year interesting.

[Pete3206]

Bugger me, what a performance.

Oddschecker have still got New Zealand as 10/11 favourites to win the tournament if anyone fancies a bet.

[Jon Crofts]

Despite the TMO and touch judges doing their level best to help NZ that was the most comprehensive performance I think I’ve ever seen from England.
