[Celt_Man]

FFS I'm a jinx...

[ONeill]

Swing Low!

[Celt_Man]

Fookers have it....

[Capt Pat]

I am delighted we managed to avoid these two teams in the draw and the Scots as well. A demonstration from both teams in how not to play the game.

[muppet]

Boooooo.

[Armaghgeddon]

Thats it, I am going to bed havent missed a game and havent slept either. What a load of collix some of these games have been!

[Hardy]

Fifteen men behind the ball on both sides. I dunno.

Vickery has to be the worst co-commentator ever. "Come on England!". FFS. His only comment on the try was "England have a try". There was about fifteen seconds of silence while we and the commentator waited for the analysis. Nothing, so the commentator just resumed telling us what we were watching. When we saw the replay of the Puma winger being tackled yards after he kicked ahead right at the end, Vickery's response was a doubtful "Mmmmmm ..." I'll see Martin Carney in a new light after this. Very much so.

Are England wearing the black kit just to piss off NZ? It looked like they bought it in Penneys, with all the numbers falling off, some even on subs as they came on.

I was just about to post asking if anybody else found the commentary hard to take but a pre emptive strike has been made. Making reference to the game being played "on the banks of the Pacific" kind of stood out for some reason. Not a peculiarly English or ITV thing either, that dude Michael Corcoran can be hard to take when getting worked up about things. Commentary, less is more in my book. Game a bit of a bore, this scrum crack is an awful pile in my opinion

It it's a deliberate Pommie ploy to get under the Kiwi skins I'll forgive them for at least 2 of the 800 years. Kiwi's seem incredibly thin skinned about most things Rugby

[Capt Pat]

Is Courtney Lawes going to be cited for takng 2 Argies out of the game at the end of the First half? Will the Argies cite him? Ireland decided not to cite the English player who gouged Healy for some unknown reason.

[Celt_Man]

Jaysus I found the "commentary" from Vickery was just desperate - didn't really listen to the analysis at full time so can't comment on it

[Dinny Breen]
