[QUOTE="Tayga, post: 974231, member: 79351"] Just saw the game on catch up having listened to it on my way home from France. Actually on the radio it felt evenly balanced but when you watch it i was struck by how one sided the match was. Actually other than the line up cock up NZ never had a scoring opportunity - I have never seen an AB side so shut down . Also What struck me was how dominant some of our defensive tackling was . On thé England side Itoje Cunderhill and Ford were the standouts - On the NZ side i thought Ardie Savea was superb but he was outgunned in the loose and some of the other AB’s did not show. I actually thought England would win the World Cup but only after seeing the warm up game against Ireland in August - that performance was the first time in quite while that could be described as All Blackesque- power, pace, ruthless execution with no prisoners been taken . Still my hat off to Hansen’s team - lest we forget they have dominated world rugby for 10 years - and all good things must come to an end. And a great team it was. [/QUOTE]
