[QUOTE="NZbloke, post: 1061430, member: 85358"] True, Conway will be really missed, his composure is excellent in pressure situations, also he consistently works the ball into gaps, the bloke is a similar type of batsmen to Williamson. Yeah, Seifert is likely to be his replacement... I'd keep Milne in the 11, with Ferguson out injured we need an express bowler to add more balance to our bowling attack. There was a lot of pressure in 2011 because we were playing at home & hadn't won the RWC for ages - don't think we had tunnel vision in the match, it was just a very scrappy/ugly sort of game. Reckon we had it over France in the forwards, what really put big pressure on us was Weepu missing 3 or 4 easy shots at goal, which was very unusual as he was a good goal kicker, after the game we found out Weepu got a groin strain in the warm-up before the Final, when he did finally hobble off, Donald came on who was the 5th 1st-five we'd used in the tournament, where he slotted a pressure kick for us to win it, so for me that was a very good win. In the knockout stage anything can happen at a RWC - but for me since 2011 we've played more controlled rugby in that knockout, stuff, you have to, get beaten & you're out of the tournament... with a test series, if you lose the first one, you still have a chance to stay in the series by winning the next match.
