If Ireland were in that group we'd be calling it the group of death with not that much between the three teams. No one is thinking there is any chance England could have any trouble in it.I suppose that's a sign how much England have improved in the last few months to be rated up at the same level as NZ and SA.

They are calling it the group of death though.

I'd imagine the English are taking it seriously though remember that they were favourites to walk their group in 2015 but were caught flat by the Welsh.

I'm not saying they will lose to France or Argentina but both of those are capable of turning on the style and causing a shock

Both France and Argentina have had bad years. England on the other hand have generally been impressive. As LIB has said, it is seen as the Group of Death, especially as Argentina always “show up” for World Cups, and France on a neutral venue will always be a tough proposition.

I expect Jones will have plenty to be positive over after today. As great as the game was to watch, similar performances would probably not be enough to beat England.

Strange crest South Africa have. Thought it would be the Springbok.

LOL

I’ve actually never seen it fully!

My abiding memory of the movie, was seeing it on a big screen in a pub in Kilburn a week before the 2015 World Cup started, and seeing the dramatised start of extra time commencing with an American football style “onside kick”.

Very physical so far. Some tired bodies in the 2nd half.

Weathering it though. 20 mins in and only 3 points in it.

That’s remarkable. 20 mins of SA dominance worth 3, 7 minutes of NZ dominance, worth 17.

That first try was brilliant by NZ.
Harsh on SA after that great start.

The winner of this pool is due to meet the winners of Pool C.
Could be NZ v England 1/2 final.

Have to say reckon the all blacks won't win this tournament, poorest wc side since the 99 side, only for poor pass selection from the sa centres and their scrumhalf trying too hard they should be pretty comfortable
