Remember when teams could just lose a game instead of losses always being described as 'bottling' ? :lol:

It was not even close, they beat us by 20 points. I honestly do think nerves got to the players today - bad decision making, bad passing, bad catching, bad everything.

Really disappointing.
 
To be honest I'm not that fussed. We won the WC in 2003 then were average for over a decade.

I'd rather build a team of consistent excellence who win most of the time. This team can do that, very young, talent is there experience will build. Rather be the All Whites as it were and have that kind of record, be a team who are no 1 and who properly own that and maintain it rather than shirk it, no English team have ever done that in any sport.
 
I dont often watch rugby, dont think I’ll watch another game anytime soon. That was utterly boring, even if England won, i was absolutely bored. Folks go on about footballers rolling about the floor, never seen anything like this, literally 2 mins of action, 2 minutes of waiting about. Glad i watch football, Rugby is utter nonsense.
 
My teams have played in 3 finals this year and the performances have got progressively worse. Maybe next time.

Cheers for the input there.
 
Before the tournament I didn't expect us to get to the final, so overall it's been a good showing.

It's just frustrating that we still have this tendency to follow a good performance with a shit one, and can't seem to react on the field when plan A isn't working. This has been a flaw for a few years now.

Need to improve consistency and tactical brains. And rethink selection at scrum half and full back
