Rugby World Cup 2019

Recommended Posts

Now we’re down to the last four and two fantastic semi finals to look forward to.

The two stand out teams are obviously NZ & England. Wales scraped through because of the French’s usual ill discipline and although effective, SA’s turgid forward play will not succeed against the winner of the other semi should they progress.

It’s a pity that the way the draw has played out that we cannot see a NZ/England final. Without doubt the World Cup champions will come from that semi.

It would be nice to see England defeat the over enthused Druids in the final over here in Abergele, but common sense would tend to suggest that the final will be contested between the other two remaining sides,

The whole tournament has been a joy to watch, but SA’s outdated approach to the game has been a disappointment to me. 
Still, all credit to Japan for a fantastic showpiece. Shame about the incompleted matches though and the organisers shabby treatment of Italy should not be forgotten.

Wonderful stuff, agreed.

Everyone gave 100% for the full 80 minutes and the forwards were immense. We've finally found a back row that can win the ball and turnover possession. Itoje gets better and better.

What a great try that was in the 1st minute! I haven't seen England play that well for many years but with everyone fit we do have a very good squad of players.

Incredible display by England to beat the All Blacks full of skill, intensity and commitment. Some of the tackles by Sam Underhill were  shuddering and the performances by the likes of Itoje, Lawes, Manu Tuilagi etc were immense even to someone who doesn't follow the game much. Can't remember seeing such a fluid Rugby Union game in a long time.
