It's being a great tournament so far and the gaps in the standards seem not to be as wide as they have being the last 20 years

Very much looking forward to it, I think the kiwis are the better but I have faith we can do it

2 best packs in the world at present going toe to toe.....england's kicking game will have to be spot on IMO.

Shows how little you know then.

Anyone know what sections of the ground we have been allocated. Just trying to book my tickets and it doesnt seem to say

Sad fact of life 1: The Kiwis have the best halves combination.

Sad fact of life 2: If Manu Vatuvei plays on the same side of the field as Joshua Charnley, New Zealand will run up a cricket score.

Yes, you are, aren't you!

Charnley's the one threequarter I'd change anyway. This game is do or die, and I'd put Burgess or even Hardaker in there as we need some physicality on the wing rather than just a dodgy haircut.

The other changes would have to be in the pack. Farrell, Tomkins and Ferres have been vastly inferior to their opposite numbers in two games, making no yards with the ball plus poor defence. I'd bring in Whitehead and Cooper for any two of them as its hard to see them being any worse.

Despite his mistakes, I'd ask Clark to try to play 80 mins, with SOL (or Smith) acting half if he needs a short breather. Hodgson's off the pace at this level, and McNamara needs to realise that rotating hookers isn't mandatory.

The only other change I'd make is to ask Matt Smith to run the sodding ball a few times early. Its not his strong point but he needs to offer something to put the defence in two minds. If he can't/won't do that then I'd move Tomkins to 7 and Hardaker to full back.

Will this thread alter the result? No. So no point discussing it.

It's got a better chance of altering next weeks result as opposed to the post mortem thread........

Very flat.....as he was during the game and apparently as were the team. Doubt they'll be that bad again.......

Kiwis Squad for the weekend.

1 Peta Hiku; 2 Jason Nightingale, 3 Shaun Kenny-Dowall, 4 Dean Whare, 5 Manu Vatuvei; 6 Kieran Foran, 7 Shaun Johnson; 8 Jesse Bromwich, 9 Issac Luke, 10 Adam Blair; 11 Simon Mannering (c), 12 Kevin Proctor; 13 Jason Taumalolo.

Leuluai to miss out....NZ looked better when Brown was on the Park v Samoa......

Couldn't tell you to be honest. I'm heading over with 4 Kiwis and we're sitting right by the tunnel. There should be a good few of us having beers in Albar (just of the Octogan in the direction of the train station) before and after the game. Get amongst it!

Well ive gone for the unreserved tickets behind the sticks. As the cat1 tickets had all gone
Thanks for the advice on where to get a beer. Keep an eye out for a bulls fan

Will do mate. If you see a pie eater with a bunch of Kiwis then that will be me. We're driving over early doors tomorrow morning from Queenstown. Can't wait!
