Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Great game

I am hoping England do it as their input has been incredible, Canada looked very slippery and fast the other day.

It will be a cracker to watch for sure.

Whilst we have a big wedding to go to today we decided that tomorrow’s breakfast/bbq ‘after party’ could be missed so we found two tickets to the
WRWC on Saturday ! Fingers crossed for England to win. Also still fancying France over NZ ………as did the New Zealanders who sold us the tickets.!
Best MM

Well rugby loving morganeers, will the England team beat NZ ?
I am favouring an England win (not betting on it) but they have to play better than they have done in the last two games . More consistent pressure, better execution of all moves. NZ never give up but home support might see us get over the line.
Enjoy. MM

All I ask is that both sides turn up (which is not always the case), it's a clean, fast flowing game, (conditions may not help) and it's entertaining rugby at it's best.

I remember watching South Africa at Aviva stadium not so long ago, and what should have been a momentous game with Ireland was a damp squib as South Africa just didn't turn up, they seemed to only be there for the money.

I hope England wins, but no matter what the outcome is, as long as it's clean entertaining rugby, which both sides are capable (if allowed by the refereeing) of playing.

Looking forward to it and just hope they both go for it, they owe it to the followers.

England to win by 10 points...tipping it down here but feeling positive..

AB's by 10 points, England are overrated and believe what they read in the papers. Said by a sad Welshman 😕

You could well be right - we feel your pain at the moment, I can't remember Wales being at such a nadir in my lifetime.

OK I was a couple of points out..

Worthy result they were all over the AB's.

Disorganised NZ . They were a touch shambolic and a looked a bit ordinary. At 12 - 0 , I was worried. then 25 unanswered points. But NZ never give in but today they did.
Tom Curry losing the ball led to the NZ try after several errors by others as well and also the loss of Earl. Simple mistakes can often lead to a lost game but thankfully not in this case.
George is a better throw in Hooker than C-D and line outs are so important. Spandex he has worried me every game. However, all in all a well deserved and emphatic win………since the amazing win in 2019 .

PS I am a Curry fan, the tackling demon .

Some times the less than perfect performance leads to learning from their mistakes and eventually with luck, patience hard work and perseverance to a much more complete performance. Not perfect by any means but still an enjoyable and riveting game,I think the ABs thought they had it in the bag (as in the past) when leading by 12 points so early on in the game and they started to lose their way when England came back just before half time.

Great to see the strength and depth of the England bench.........

The AB's weren't at their best, which helped. Ford's kicking game especially his drop goals have come to England's aide at just the right moment on more than one occasion now. Lets hope its an upwards and onwards marker for the future.

.Sue's Irish friends still sore from Chicago AB result, begrudgingly sent their congratulations on England's win, to which Sue replied 'so that's how you do it'.Sue's brother is NZ' who we usually watch the match with, seems to be incommunicado for some reason at the moment I assume NZ will have a day of reflection and mourning, which often follows AB losses.
