martin williams who could easily It will be a final that most would be happy with 100 of the other teams left in this tournament in South Africa and Wales, but these are the top two teams so impressive in their quarter-finals against quality opposition in Ireland and Australia for those players.

Unknown territory, unexplored territory. Yes, they won national leagues, they won European leagues, but this for those players, this is the

world

stage, this is the semifinal at the highest level, a lot of quality in their power, pace, skill, all the tools to cause a surprise, but in the rival locker room. Here is the black machine. 11 of those 23 who have already finished, obtained the shirt and will have great confidence. It's not just the 23 he'll take to the field tonight, but the two men who coach both teams, as well as the little ones. off the field back and forth between eddie jones and steve hansen has also been box office this week, yes great value from both coaches, i think they personally get along very well behind the scenes but they have been throwing some grenades and in conferences of press.

It all adds to the drama, doesn't it? and to the theater, but at the end of the day, those are the guys who are talking on the field. Well, this is Eddie Jones' fourth world cup after facing Australia, South Africa, Japan and now England. Kieran Reid in New Zealand's number eight turned 34 He has been incredible in this tournament one of the former Let's Go players Let's Go this man took his team to the park Billy Vunipola in his 50th test match for England It is a great threat with the ball in In addition, he was their main carrier in the victory against Australia last week.

Kieran Reed was involved in almost everything good that New Zealand organized. What about the man behind him on an 18-0 streak in world cup matches? He has never lost a world cup. The match has New Zealand's Sam Whitelock also looking to become the first episode to reach five World Cup finals, champions England in 2003. It's a long way down this Yokohama stadium tunnel. Lots of time to think about what awaits you. Do you want to burn yourself? too much energy stay focused stick to your game plan it's going to be tough when these two teams come out of that tunnel onto this field so the two eights will lead their teams we're moments away from sinking our teeth into semi- The last number one, The Raw that salutes both sides will be something else in just a second, when the Tycho drums resound loudly at the Yokohama International, which is why New Zealand planned to be here after that great victory against Ireland last week in the quarterfinals. final, 46-14, that's how it was.

It was one of the most complete performances at a World Cup in recent memory. They dismantled Ireland. The flip side was England who were too good for Australia and took the world down 40 points to 16. They are the number one ranked team in the world.

zealand

and number two on the other side of the half in the shape of

england

we will have the anthems in just a second but first a moment of silence after the tragedy of super typhoon hagibus now we will observe a moment of silence and solidarity with the people in Japan afterwards of the widespread damage, flooding and sadly loss of life caused by Typhoon Haginess, foreign ladies and gentlemen, the national anthems of England and New Zealand, we say: "O nations, hear our voices", we are anthems, mark New Zealand's next cultural challenge.

I have done it many, many times. Do you seek to look your opponent in the eyes? What's the play if you're doing it? Oh, no doubt, you're ready to send out the challenge. I know it's been talked about before in this tournament, but I. I'm sure the English team will want to aim and they won't back down, that's for sure, as tj pederna, kaia prepares, hey, oh, oh, oh, you want box office, you got it, how about the England challenge? shadows of new zealand france mixing in the 2011 final with the almost reverse broadcast orchestrated by that man eddie jones has done everything he can on the other side is steve hansen the start of this semi-final blockbuster just two minutes away martin williams you have faced the Harker, have you ever done anything like that?

Well, we had a showdown in Cardiff where we didn't turn our backs because that's the challenge set on first to turn, that's when the challenge is lost, but I think Wolfie signs. ready for this for you amazing new zealand great response from england is all the stuff leading up to the ritual now it's real real can you back it up both teams? This is going to be at full speed from the minute to the 18th minute. no being a leader in peace, there is no intensity, the world

rugby

player of the year has his brother Scott in the starting line-up with him tonight, Geordie Barrett, his Third brother to come from the pond, there is Scott, he had 40 minutes last week coming into halftime. the atmosphere here in yokohama is absolutely electric sam underhill and tom curry this young boom couple in the back row what can they do against people like savior and reid and barrett we're about to find out here so when he ruins the mission you're going to go and have a good time to a dracula just to mix things up we are rolling in the number one semi-final new zealand against england and they mix it up from the start england 22 they are going to sell at the base there is smith who kicks halfway and england I will be happy to play the first line of night, I'm sure Malone is next to me at the Wales test center at Martin Williams.

Sideline is Carl Tsunami. The field in front of yesterday under water looks good. Now he trains quite well here in Yokohama. a raid last week didn't affect the first lineup at all, steps on jamie george, finds laws down for the top forward and hits him through a strong run from tualangi continues to work around the corner here, moving out now looking for Watson to enter the play. Lovely ball from Dally to Watson, which was very difficult last week in the win against Australia. Good quick ball here for the four Englishmen. Farrell sends it wide and the line goes daily.

Every day he moves it long and finds a free route in the front row. george in the 22 deep in the now beautiful sunflower hands keeps it light England moving strong and up the park here five away started on the 50 subway line hit it close here through laws that choose and disappear when they overcome it it's a quick hit for england and manufacturing just go to the outside of the drift miss tackle great play by watson you support very early against australia keeps the momentum keeps pumping his legs very well outside the laws of Courtney keep the ball alive carl singler george Ford was in two or three phases for England in less than two minutes and what was noticeable in the missed tackles is that the conversion was successful as expected, but too many tables on their first pass they played from New Zealand really put them below the present. there who was grambling right at night head over there for Courtney laws look at the gaping hole on the right side well taken very rarely will you see New Zealand lose so many first tackles over the 80 minutes let alone in the first stage of playing this is what this is what this England team can do so powerful it is so effective so skillful and that is a wake up call for the old Bucks England up by seven after three minutes of play they brought it here for laws in the air now the tug chases it, overtakes it and is going to retreat towards New Zealand with salvia, which had in its hands the la la la, torn downwards and now with the tozo they seek to open the line, it shapes the pass and the put. gets up daily scrum half handling lovely from the start from the English now in the air looking to catch the bridge out of position slides back and takes it on the fly bridge only finds about 15 minutes 15 meters rather of territory and it is a result net for the english, yes, george ford in the big tight and then he takes the ball, great job from the english outside, he bends it with toast hands, you won't be happy with that big nipple or lala, you never want to be stripped let alone the smallest man on the field, great. to tackle Owen's kick away which is well read by the bridge with a great chance again for England.

George Josh returns. England's big foreign man is happy to distribute this guy. he's making up for young's attack, tightening the attack here and slowing it down a little more through mako four in the back, goes, daley gets in behind, looking for Watson, good use, back, two good times, Watson and now these are shameless Goodhue meters, great race. from his own danger zone smith all kinds of trouble there is a smart little rubber from the previous television you think it will be a minimum alignment of five meters but he does it very well jack just stays standing he mounts the tackles he keeps moving his legs and they are asked invaluable for the All Blacks to get him out of trouble.

Yes, we are cutting off downloads from England. We're really stretching the New Zealand team and playing and over-committing on the inside, so there's a lot of room in the far channels of this. English team, I like the variation with the kingdom behind, but Jack Good, who did a great job initially in the back corners, is back, but he will create some space in his knees for Watson Bridge to get it this time. Daley helps tidy up. youngs farrell a first catcher it's a first run for curry and it's a good one also a lovely handle on the english tour of course he's going to mate if he's not the fastest guy in the park sinclair hasn't he been busy on these firsts 10 minutes of play?

Heading towards the six, New Zealand have now bulldozed it, so their defense gets bigger now that they have numbers on this near side. Well, well, you yourself go with the link on the outside, silky hands towards the bridge, who beats the first tackle curry brave new zealand star barrett on the line barrett holding it beautifully the koje crosses with a key tackle smith back short side reese civilian reece quietly diced last week and put some feet to work on it from time to time here we go england again looking to overcome the desperate defense of the barracks still with them then they fell then they fell and now they're back with new zealand him it's frantic on both sides somehow new zealand avoids conceding ball points white lot savior okay advantage now the penalty martin williams take a break we still have 72 of this to go before he was looking at big's work before scotty barrett has a chance to join me but that's brilliant work from the great man lost for little cider what the old bang can do with counter 22 is so dangerous for his breathless stuff you will be disappointed johnny will would have backed himself, but brilliant blindside work from the great all blacks, scotty barrett, ray from above, beautiful ball to barrett, who stopped that attempt moments ago, now, bridge, we'll get to that first. charge here for retalia barrett's field position looking to catch daley and reads him well and then hits him again out of the park but his opponent takes him daily by barrett instead of daley towards barrow barrett back in the air taking well free kick england yes good solid defense from england all backs asking questions both sides of rapper making his tackles one on one slowing down red ball for iron smith forcing barrett into two kicks good cover from george ford is up front to go there kt Oh no, I think both teams need a little rest.

Draw Ford is a great start to this game. Defensively, Eddie Jones talked about how good he was. We have already seen the positional tear position and we have also been on the point. Team number George Ford left. for reed barron scott barrett went live mixing it going in shorts bringing behind and grace rushed and now looking to go fast the valley was back to order for england smart work of how you felt there of the all black number 10. It's a good defense again from England, although such a play kept their line, kept the numbers, but it is a good result of the New Zealand forces that need to separate, they give New Zealand the expected lineup for a deception, it is standing in position of scrum.

There's a lot of real arm wrestling going on, right? From the last from the first try. England through the box reaches the line. Come to England. Come up in possession still with the black and white locksmith man flying in the air. The hit is a hidden bass drum from Aaron Smith and falls through England a tacticreally unusual for mara smith to go take a nap and below Chestnut said 22 normally everything if he thought iron smith had an advantage to hit nigel owens lets the paint continue well good job at the front of the line there for Mario's toast just to ruin the old ball.

It is a pest in contact areas. She went out with him. She kept him alive here so England would launch another raid on New Zealand. They mixed their racing lines very well. the new zealand midfield does not make the mistake and is now with the laws the new zealand defensive line well established fourth smashes it down the hill and is consequently found the mallet played back towards the traffic ford farrell beautiful ball through from the park for Daley inching towards The New Zealand triple line they are opening attempts to manufacture a massive defense last week. He has been huge with the ball in his hand 15 minutes into this contest.

Smith looks for still gray steel. away from aaron smith, the ball is exposed for a millisecond, the all-black scrum-half swept in and ripped it away, yes, here's mario toshi bowling on the all-black side in these first 13 minutes, as you mentioned, Shawn, he's just a pest, he's actually working hard. All Blacks spilled pork basics from the driving lineup, he's there in an instant, takes the ball away and again, what's so impressive is the English speeder ball, but Aaron Smith proves you don't need to be a great man to raise his head and steal. The ball is a great moment, just like Jack, who earlier put all the black people in jail.

George gets punched in the lineup, very dangerous, the three big ball carriers, Bonnie Pollock Tualangi and Marco Vunipola, have their film going in the right direction. lovely late change there for farrell farrell tries to squeeze it out it was a low percentage play from farrell and now new zealand hits the park lynette brown chases him along with him he's back with ford the tugboat there too here he is mate what can he create? on the broken field, Good takes it to the grass here as the youngster airs goodbye for New Zealand and hoping to spin across the bridge with a ring in the initial penalty you are never standing and kept your hand in After too, yes, he did everything right.

Owen Farrell in the All Blacks fantastic line 22. He just watches the change play brilliantly from four, but then just looks for the miracle ball. It's just that Noron just needs to keep the ball. You have to have patience to recycle oppression. the all blacks under all kinds of pressure he knows and then a double hit sam below will penalize for going out clear penalty nigel owens talking everything with aaron smith is there any good scrum half referee in the situation plus it's a big penalty on the half line kt just to take some pressure off the All Blacks because they are under pressure yeah a lot of hands on the hips of the All Blacks defensively have been broken a couple of times.

I really love the attacking form of this now great English team. decision where they go to shoot it looks like they are going to go to the corner of new zealand only england in these first 60 minutes when they had the ball really dominating the line of play winning the contacts just getting those two extra feet on the play for ben young and causing all kinds of problems for this all black defense and coming back there's a call here that was taken back to 22 great work by george from Courtney Laws that's all the homework all week sitting in front of a computer looking at endless pictures of new zealand bills that have been lost this taken there is your explanation from the mouth of nigel owens england muscle in the mall and when the loss that is the fourth high note win the ball make the drive work clearly knocked down by the plate, but if you have the first 18 minutes he's having this game, just the black forwards just can't cope with England's big number four.

What is a clear plan from the New Zealand lineup to try and push this three-for-three? times it hasn't come back to what that guy expected so maybe a change in technology this is what kieran reeves talks to his team about now we just have to restart sorry kt is crucial when that ball leaves driving more than You do it with the ball to make the mall stop and then give him your box. You want to improve the movement as it progresses. It is very difficult to defend it. He just got caught in two minds between Cody Taylor and Aaron Smith.

He went to reach the ball and that is beating. drink to this English pack and he'll be a happy man and open 20. here's your mark for the middle, okay, very, very impressive and he hasn't just been a two landing legend. I have a polar rhythm, some good tricks. There since before every day for Farrell really mixing this, he gives up 18 minutes. This will be our first look at scrum time, so here come the big boys. It is interesting to see that the winds are better. We can see that they are talking about Sinclair. They're already at it, they move their arm away while Katie says the big guys are getting used to each other in the sinclair position, you're dealing with the experience class, you know, we think the all blacks don't underestimate, it's all stone black, but it's something England played very, very powerful, yeah, he spits out the back and Watson looks up and says wait a second.

I'm going to need help in a moment as New Zealand leaves Youngs sending him towards George Bridge. However, a beautiful ribbon climbs over it. Was Barrett increasing his involvement as the first receiver in this clash? We didn't see much of him intervening there last week. The island on the other side of the park, wow, it's beautifully weighted, but Johnny May was on the spot and it just hit. This is the shot. from george bridge who's had a great tournament really solid but there's no way antonina brown is going here as soon as she caught me she's got it covered good defensive work by johnny yeah i think we've got the initial burst being away from these two.

The teams are now sitting down and have calmed down as if it was turning into a chess match. Now both sides are high level football that's for sure, yeah it seems like a long way to go. You feel the next score is crucial if England get two points ahead with their defense it's going to be very difficult for us to get that back. New Zealand need to put something on the board just to give them a bit of confidence. At this moment they find it very difficult to break through this English defense, they take it off the top and now they play territory and behind maurice he sits, here is the baron, he runs again from England's point of view with a starting line, just try and keep your Severis on that right wing, just making them wake up, find space every time you kick the ball you always want. to hit the grass, hit both to be a little faster guys please that's what george ford brings to the table.

Brilliant tactical play, as well as bowling. hannah's distribution will test any of the world's three defenders and new zealand got richie morgan defending that center in when goodhue places four flats for two lungs, he doesn't miss too many trojes in the thick of it again, the youngsters They believe in some beautiful polar sleight of hand there for Sinclair, Ford Farrell gets him behind and again he continues to rise. England city, yes they have seven points with the ball, they are in the leading playing territory, just keep possession like you mentioned, this is what England threats have to maintain or you turn, you are going to fall asleep, I really do you will achieve.

Hoping to get good hands and we're out of New Zealand, they're trying to pick up the pace that creates the angle for Smith and he'll find the touch and we'll have another line, we'll just repeat the dice until then. side around the middle yes kidney says surprisingly frantic opening 15 16 minutes the temples calm down the players take a natural breath big man in midfield England shortening the lineup this time five men both from the polar brothers in midfield the prop advances in the midfielder who is his brother billy is going to pull the skillful hands for may to daley now with watson new zealand slider crossing cover watson returns to the field billy vunapola young sap above does it back nothing happens here are the laws good recycling and again england The powerful runners line up for another chance in New Zealand, the sixth race already here is brother Billy, really desperate to disconnect, I can't help it, they are moving, although they are moving in the right direction, I think this is right in front of us.

I think this one is coming back Nigel checks for obstruction The decision to overtake Justin Kerry in the field is an attempt, but I want to check whether the dummy runner took out a defender or there was no material effect on the part of the initiated defender. We are looking for you. ok I completed the triad seasons I haven't done anything at the moment the decision of my life was a try yes but I knew there was contact I just need to see who started it let's listen to the referee explain to Nigel so he doesn't be in a position to catch the pass, okay, I have a decision for you, yeah, wait, okay, okay, yeah, so what I have, I have number six, white, he's clearly not in a position to catch the ball and make contact with a chance, and he does.

Take out a defender's option correct, so the attempt to no please will return here correct because your number six has passed the ball, it means you are offside and due to the initial contact, you are taking away the opportunity for a defender, so no, it's not the appeal. it's so he's in front of the ball carrier so it's a penalty if he was in line not a problem but he's in front no try okay after and no try six in front yeah , they are gone a new clear obstruction from Ben Curry. nigel owens as always explains it perfectly but there it is, he obviously just catches the ball but only the builder's game again cannot cope with the all blacks with the England ball carriers and only the subtlety also of the big ones five, the little ones download the pass. again on the outside Watson is causing them all kinds of problems and they breathe a sigh of relief, well, it's something that I think the English front row has been retaining those little differential passes that they are giving, they are also executing good angles, Smith. goodhue lost a lot of possession in their first 25 minutes of play new zealand barrett greece runs on one and is loose in the backfield floats it for goody goody brought down by jose barrett is shallow up and down and maybe grabs it too well George this time standing in the tackle unloading well then the kick on the other side a little ginger on the back game here for England the baron keeps him alive to retaliate Sevilla for his hit can't find him well Hugh is there although they can create something about nothing is the first really bad kick from george ford straight to muanga through the middle pass poor to retaliate well whoever keeps her alive but only looks for their white bodies fighting again gets well whoever wants it to touch but you can't disconnect to split second against this new zealand team, yes that's where they are so lethal from turnovers, england have been pretty good in their department so far this semester for the first time and almost got stuck in the lineup, throw low pressure here for jamie george, can they improve here?

New Zealand are looking to steal a steal from England, which has caused them some drama. He goes to José who completes the task with ease. The youngsters look for touch and find it beyond the 22. Yes, it's a good start from England, the line-up has been absolutely excellent. New Zealand didn't come close to breaking the ball and are looking to get back up to speed. New Zealand is going very fast. They have lost another layout and are still another distance away from New Zealand. It's time to break down England's defense too. running out rhys delays the switch back so barrett has to control his run to hold on to it looking to find reed taylor taylor don't look for the bridge there isn't much room for him to work on that near side and he's an easy pick for the defender it will be a line drive it will be jamie george who will intervene so that england can throw it yes again they are trying to choose the temporary job but it is just not efficient brilliant work by that man again natoji stealing the first baseball and go for the exemption good solid defense from anthony watson and at the moment new zealand are really on the defensive, they seem frustrated because the picture of the man tells the story pure frustration from steve hansen yeah, watson just went down again, he's had a couple of hard knocks in this one game So far, but in New Zealand you don't see them running off the field very often, if they've done it two or three times tonight, so that's probably where the frustrations are coming from should Steve Hansen try to stay on. field and They generate pressure right now, they are only going one, two,three phases and then they are trying to create something for nothing.

I think the ship and barracks are just saying, "let's calm down guys, just get into our game plan. Yeah, we haven't gotten any scores." from the 30th minute throughout the boss england 27 28 minutes without the scoreboard but it has been hectic what happened here no advantage scrum green called everyone just stopped playing and it will be an england scrum they say there is no advantage and uh we'll come back to the mark, could have been anything if it could have been kept here, yes, sloppy from England, Ben Young is trying to clear the ball, Barrett has been busy, good pickup, but again so far, Lulu is just trying the bid . clean up, didn't expect the crossfield and forces the hit and Ben Young calls for the scrum straight away Scotty Barrett here we are, most of the game is played in the New Zealand half, which is exactly what you want from an England point . keep them at arm's length, well positioned, keep it, yeah, nigel owens right in front of the referee and he also makes the call right away, as you mentioned before, first rubbing nigel owens usually gives one or two just for both front rows to find their feet, but he won.

No time wasted in that area, he makes the decision immediately that one will have enough to trouble George Bridges with his left big toe in contact. It's a game of inches, isn't it? I know we will wait and see. just she is clearly, George Bridge also has the left foot to catch the ball, as you can see, the left foot is in contact and it gives England a great opportunity directly behind the toes. It's a watch right now. On the timeline for England, there are a few points of The rain begins to fall in Yokohama, there the more complete package gets to work with a swing rather countered by New Zealand and now Youngs is forced out of there.

Farrell, good hands to hang.about what's there lenny your assist was also a great shot by moody he's on his way he's on his way and he's off to the right yeah, not a bad option for me from george ford that attack and failure towing Farrow was injured obviously a key playmaker for England going nowhere worth a shot for me from George Ford just pushes him to the right but as you can see the range starts to decrease, it's taking what you call a cork, I think Shawnee a little bit. of a dead leg please the toughest worm will follow oh and farrell no doubt about that new taijei you don't really see many of those short 20 teams in the modern game most teams go long and back the defense, but maybe it's a sign of desperation kt, how desperate are New Zealand to try and get a pill and, well, put pressure on England.

You had no position in these first 32 minutes. Have they really been living on scraps? A couple of turnovers when they had the ball. They made mistakes or went wide and just gave the ball to the team, so they need a position, that's for sure, but it has to be said that England, playing the game on the right end of the field, really dominated the territory until now. and another opportunity to attack first on the board here at Yokohama International within three minutes of play. It was an entertaining finale as keeping the pressure off the points was difficult to achieve as expected with the number one ranking.

Two teams ranked in world rugby are going in as first receiver again and always asking questions of the defense. Curry, who mocks the 22 young men, goes for a sniper, runs under White Lock's shoulder looking for the counterattack. Now Sam, here's the other talented young man. English rower Underhill inside the 22 Sinclair who has been playing like a fly half the night and running like a ball this time he drops it cold, put the markers there, he sure has had such a good game, he has been incredible , he has been outstanding and all that. time just takes you off the ball for a fraction of a second, as we saw before, maybe it gets a little greasy, the ball, yeah, it basically takes your eyes off the ball for a fraction of a second and it's an easy out for New Zealand, first they got into a scrum, in fact, this is going to be after 30 32 minutes of this match it was fine, it's the same again it's fine, they want to be England, they are down in New Zealand's 22 possessions, so okay, hugely in favor of the territory, as we saw in the graph above last time, the majority of the Game in the New Zealand half.

It is proving very difficult at the moment for the All Blacks to get a foothold in this game. It's been interesting to see the attitude of the All Blacks here. I know they weren't just in their 22 meters. line but he seems willing to attack the no position bet i don't think you really want to kick the ball back to england on stage i might have a push here new zealand defenders on this side against the two from england look just a little chat coming in together george bridal george bridge keeps his width on his left side i have to do the right b6 first out from new zealand i managed to win the clean ball scrum the same as always there are no excuses for these scrums i go one way the other way goes The information I have is to strengthen your legs under you and get your height.

Crouch better. The instructions land well on both sides. Block it very well as New Zealand now try to keep it away from their own 22. It could slip in behind. by lynette brown here is bowdoin barrett looking forward looking at england pushes him immediately regrets the decision to return to brody retalic and salvia was also there with england although up by seven 36 went to the savior over looking for the steal and almost affecting him more comfortable for the youngster to work with the box kick towards Bowdoin Barrett great short front there from Underhill Scott Barrett Smith comes short lateral brutality holding for Sevilla looks inside the cookie comes out to read who then finds Goodhue with the England link pass over the top and winning the penalty ah great job by tom cote we saw the hit from below samantha from Young's kick so good work by New Zealand on the short side where there seems to be no space outside the inside balls but they win the race on the ball, work Brilliant and that is a great penalty at an important moment in the game.

This is where John Mitchell has been brought in and he's really brought in that defensive work to look at the numbers in and around that breakdown to be able to challenge with a good starting tackle that tom curry will meet and drink from there into very underrated players the number six for England it has been the huge joe tournament well, eddie jones the england boss describes those two curry six and seven and underhill are the kamikaze kids and that has been their approach throughout this In the first half they were fearless. They have been outstanding throughout the tournament.

They really had them without the ball. You know, there is a lot of talk about destructive. They are a couple that put a lot of effort into this. The All Blacks defend Scotland, England. The front foot as a duo has been absolutely sensational, it's a big penalty at a crucial time. Well, I think if there's New Zealand you don't want to lose any more points before the half, whether it's three, five or seven. I think if you're Simonelle, you're going to be very happy with that, with limited, limited territory that you've had in the way you've played, so I think that's going to be the mentality of the New Zealand team at the moment two and one missing the half of the first 40.

They have made a second stop and now New Zealand destroys it. A great play under pressure on their starting line breaks an England back. Smith Goodhue does not look at the ball towards Bowdoin Barrack. Shelby Reece barely had control after 38 minutes of action. Can they stun England here in the shadows of half-time? Taylor Ford with a good tackle is that rush to just shoot from outside and is cutting off Muanga's options. He's not afraid to pitch. He has intercepted before I only see the man on the outside who is shooting he puts Moaner in two mines he becomes the big ones and we saw one of the kamikaze kids go over the ball and win a penalty just a fraction of a second ago that time Sam Underhill on the ball wins the penalty, yes, yes, and a well-deserved smile on Manu Tualangi's.

Their game looked a lot better on that occasion and that's all, but they don't really have a winless game to speak of right here, the six side tackle, yes, it was on their feet, so with Owen Farrell not moving too well in the steps forward to take the shot at the polls, it's George Ford, George Ford 45 from home, four looking to tie and retreat forward, he's got enough. England goes up by 10. Great kick from George. ford effectively gives england a two point barrier 10 to nil totally deserved he dominated this new zealand team in the first half he kicked it just before the clock turned 40 in red he still saw an opportunity for new zealand to put something in the board beautiful hands of the laws and Watson does not want to be part of that movement and shaking in the rugby world cup at half-time in semi-1.

England are up by 10 over the All Blacks, so England are simply buying their timeout in the middle, not rushing to redress. I think it's Mark Williams England still on the park, yeah I think it's a treat they always do it at half-time, just get yourself in a little headlock, gather your thoughts before you go back in, they'll be delighted, they have brought intensity, they have matched New Zealand's physicality and they have brought a higher level of skill, so this English team had a brilliant first half and they are well advanced, but don't count out the old blacks, we have seen it too often, so Steve Hansen will do it. give them a talking position and they will come back fighting in the second half welcome back to our coverage from the yokoham international stadium where new zealand have everything to do in their second 40. they are down by 10 against england in the OK Let me tell you some statistics while Eddie Jones returns to his position.

His men return to the field. It is the first time since 2012 that the All Blacks were goalless at half-time and that was their loss against England and Tweaking. they 38-21 at full time there and just to give you how impressive the defense was coming into this game, New Zealand, most points, tries, meters, clean tackle, defenders and off the boats in this Cup of the world, they have been absolutely dynamite in the attack we are in. that first 40 just England's defense is really on top and just to let you know about their change yes we saw sam cain and the 20 jersey replacing number six scotty barrett just changed both sides here we go again new zealand against england the second half it's underway at yokohama international with an early touch gets another top for taylor cody taylor propping up and then hits me with open chips for reed the spin goes to the other side of the lynette brown bridge and now it's loose back is referee nigel owens new zealand decision at short to inspect initially arm was backwards now he approaches and moves it and knows exactly what he is doing simply pushes Young out of the way stops England scrum half receiving the 50 50 ball with which they left the game. all the blacks, but again england all the answers in defense and earlier every day for the siege we will seek to extend the main words of the same 10th century welsh martin williams the side line is carl tanana kt is there a breeze that could favor the back here from Mr.

Daley right? to talk about anything though the course can be a little slippery just be careful with an elliot but you are right martin williams has come with a wood and they know the points are tight he is the long range specialist , it's a cannon for a left leg that elliot daley has his followers will ride it to the end without fuss, without problems, he hits it well, he's on his way, he's on his way and he's left to leave for new zealand earlier every day , you know it's a big kick, but he definitely took distance, he just leans back and pushes it a little bit so they're behind you, so he lets the All Blacks go, but again they're in the right position.

It's interesting that in the reboots they came up short, but this time. golden bar putting it long daley chase barrett up daley jump he's going to fall here for sinclair i think it's a great game he's had now the grubber behind tied him up by new zealand he lost then after the contest it's a great clean up from england it's been billy pollock beer league that is loose for johnny may two tries last week in three minutes against australia in his 50th test match sinclair away for billy vinapola with a huge from distance just scrambled by brilliant anticipation for youngs puts the rubber on this one but I wanted to find you on the pitch luckily, I was just hanging around the whole New Zealand collapse at the time, all the England forwards, the front five, the back row, lawyer george on theball like vultures forcing the old backs to get up. and a big moment in this game, England chose to vote for the five meter line.

They have scored four tries in this tournament from the walls. You see Emery Slade replacing Johnny. It may cause a shakeup in the backfield, but this is where george a etosia breaks it on the counter more it's excellent from new zealand proven once now i move it a little closer let's go for 15. twice i think it was believe the shooter almost missed the ball oh, that went forward without a question mark like At the moment when tmo didn't pick it up and now he's just juggling in real time, you could see that Paul, what was I going to say, he just lost, it looked like he They would have lost, but it went to the man in front and them.

We escape, we win again, I think the All Blacks don't look like a coup or if it does, it's okay, we're checking to see if you're bored with the striker in the shopping centre. Okay, okay, Nigel, let's go outside. Now that hand there's nothing there, yeah, I think if you see the lost controller in italics on this strip on the ball, the believer just goes on the front leg of the England ball, who then picks it up so for me it has advanced, it's interesting to see what it is. trying to figure out whose hands they are and who's there, ekt, yes we have a decision for you please, okay, so we have a player in the mall who loses the ball, yes, and then a player recovers it in front of him so the tmo has clear views in front of him and we are interested in what he said your player loses it but the guy protecting him is in front of him that's why we can't allow it yeah but he is in front of he.

He's still, oh, and please listen to my explanation. The volume was confirmed. It's okay, how it looks on the screen too, but it comes from the player behind losing control and carrying it with a player in front of him, so he can't allow the. try it because he's in front, if he was behind him it's not a problem, no, nothing, nothing on that last one, well how many lives looked a little messy in real time, you could see the ball being juggled in that ball, which usually tells you to be honest. What it seems to us here too is that they have another life in New Zealand, but they are under enormous pressure.

I was going to say very, very unfortunate, wasn't it for this English team to once again just make holes, huge holes indeed? new zealand defense by agc new zealand under great pressure at scrum time they have been in line crouch angle here through the brown unit come in and get all the pin although it was buried tonight wheels out of that and now the box kick to touch or that other England line shot, it was retalic, didn't he put his arms in there? He's a monster in the mall and he just rattled them enough, yeah, he just forced the fumble and the recovery enough, it just has to be a slight move forward and that's it. hands in front we see it again you're right down the middle it's totally legal they just think ronapola slides the ball jamie george gets it back and then returns it but ben young is just showing look at the desperation on their faces he confronts the england fans ben young thought he had put England 15 points in time to go up who has had an absolutely immense game, he was replaced in 2018 by dan coulter.

It is also interesting that New Zealand decide to kick the ball towards the firm English line-up, while it is normally the same in the game. The young striker is on red on the outside. the decision, but new zealand has possession now well here rebound pass with barrett clear the top again it's curry curry with the steel surrounding him with his arms george almost managed to get through it was a desperate charge from that left they got out of hand there surely from Smith, okay, yes, for England, tackle the ball, in fact, England, this time, the youngsters get wide, it bounces off the cover, it's tricky and there's no real advantage for the attackers from the deep number 20 back, it's an absolute shot from right in front, just a England and New Zealand decoy runners can't cope, they are running hard on the line, it's hard to get out eventually or believe in Apollo when he comes towards the lights as a defender, it's so difficult just stay away, you have to commit, there is a penalty.

Anyway, some tackles there, number three, earlier, but I was playing that there is a penalty in the next round and now we have your number 20 attacking here without the ball, you need to get a lot quick, you need to make a little bet. this entry because if we're down here and I'm feeling kind of cynical, all the spins are piling up, you're going to be more than a penalty, okay, the guy on the side, make sure you tackle the guy with the ball and that's the end of the conversation. . thanks brother number 20 off the ball nigel no, he was in the back talking to read about the late tackles, the early tackles, but it's just the basic mistakes from New Zealand, Jack Good, who we saw there, just Paul going to the ground, just the execution, the position you saw used. watching it from new zealand just wasn't there tonight and that's largely due to this english defense and the energy they bring from the line here's ford boom's chip shot another three on the board for england they're up by 13.

Certainly , New Zealand came out in this half tried to shoot close to the wind and went wide but got into trouble but at that point England dominated the contact area winning the turnover Satoshi Underhill Kerry controlling the contact, they are controlling this game. and the cavalry will come for the old ones the owner of shirt 23 is jordy barrett and there is cody taylor in his cap number 50. the knight ended up being replaced by dane coles in shirt 16 and georgie bridge sits young and england's defensive line it is superbly set up, forces the kick to touch and again England simply controls position and possession at the other end, yes they are and there are no answers for the All Blacks.

Anthony Watson, that's a brilliant kick-off shot. Beat three or four defenders. I guess England are on the front foot so Ben Young gets his kick in the air no one takes control in the backfield for New Zealander Lowe's I told you to pick up the loose ball and move forward we'll just pick up the corners and ask questions to New Zealand Los young Trojans still bouncing off those first All Blacks tackles here England, through pace or power, there's ghost Slade across the park, you walked away, though we play in this looking at a toe, Jay, Hans, away, bowdoin to touch and again they. just keep crawling around the park England kt mentioned a touchline unusual production to get the ball out of the park I don't understand the tactics it's exactly what England wants give them the lineup give them the set piece they're just controlling the idea boat and barrett would have kept that on the field and then they would try to open this game by playing into England's hands, the all blacks with underhill through this new smith channel right in front of their own sticks, we are going to get over the top, we won't win this penalty this time it landed for slate slay there is some space on the other side but savilla makes the tackle bounce off his feet and does it again new zealand aaron smith sends it across the way for bowdoin struggled and lost pressure on and winning the penalty for New Zealand yes, just look at the body language of both teams England, all face to face, yes they awarded the penalty, but New Zealand look shot, look at their feet, they are on the ball, it bounces with their feet I guess.

On the ball you are not going to move a man of that power and strength, but the body language is not good. Okay, he talked about how the New Zealand team looked very tight. Three changes were coming for the emergency. 21 TJ Peter now for Aaron. smith sonny bill williams from jersey 22 replacing jack could you and also angus 18 replacing nepal? They go very deep on the bench. They need something right now. Don't know. Courtney Lawson plays the set piece coles ford hands to jose again and between the bodies winnipeg pilot with the shot saved javier they finally got inside england 22 here in new zealand moody in the back comes and then there is a monster in the midfield that was here below with a shot to the edge in the back bouncing a touch if there were arms in that tackle from finally reaching the outside of sunnyvale over the back he freezes himself reaches the corner henry slade with the heart in the mouth moment this is the angle I don't think there's anything wrong with the height and he's trying to break things late shoulder to shoulder he's late with his right down to grab uh this is huge right now right now game, isn't it?

It really is, it really is and this all happened so fast, right, we're going very hard to decipher. Do you want to continue with this or can I give you my point of view? Yes, I'll give you, give me the idea. I'm seeing the black really come in and I'm sitting there trying to make an entrance with what I've got. seen here, but unless you have a different vision for me, there's nothing wrong with that, I think I think so, so I see, I see an attempt at rap, yeah, yeah, and I think we've cleared it up, we can continue, yes.

I have to say that in real time it happened right below us, it really seemed like it and the process works exactly on point, the three officials, which has worked perfectly all night when you have to nail five meters out, the Bernardi surveyor overthrown, Christmas came early. for the all black open side he beat kt and they're back oh the brodie battalion competition got up and challenged mario together he's been so solid while you were talking about the man exactly what nz needed dankos knows the importance of that, it's fine. well it was his turnover, wasn't it inside his own 22 that won the penalty that gave the All Blacks field position and ended up beating Richie Monger's attempted big kick to get something inside a score if this happens 13-7? and we have a game in richie mona 12 from the touch he turns richie and it's a good shot in the polls thirteen game seven he's another look apparently in total control england in this game you'll give this black team half a chance They're back in this and it's the first time England have really been under pressure, especially at school, while they're taking a long time to get back to this kickoff.

You shouldn't want to speed up the pace right now, just behind you, turn the line. 22 to play there is a deep restart barrett for the touch and he finds it 42 from his own line yes, again interesting the tactics no thoughts of keeping the ball in play barrett take the ball out of the field give the line to England you will feel it low the pressure, jamie george, in such a difficult moment at five meters, is going to pull himself together, will return to the methods of the process, the world champion goes up to yokohama, happy to run straight and go over sunnyvale williams receiver in the form of dan cole, but he does a great job of bringing it forward, now Ford looks to dissect the Barrett Boys' massive defense and now the short side of the knockout goes back to Marco Vinicola and now he puts him to work tight, leading to a stop here with a huge foreigner, the last two rows of England.

Players Carrie and Ander Hill have been absolutely immense and check out this entry on Jordy Barrett. Jordy Barrett runs straight at him and lowers his shoulder, but you go when he tries to unload Jody Barrett as well, which is a no-no when you go back angus to about there's no chance of lange thinking about yourself, you might be in a good coven, the fight is fighting for their lives, new zealand, the three points for england, brilliant work from some defensive hills, i think the first tackles of the graphic agreement were for sam underhaul and he has been a real feature for us.

Speaking of the attack of both sides, but it is the defense that has brought them to this point, it must be said that to sneak in, England's defense has dominated the semi-final, I was a little loose, I can stop them, how are they? We're looking for guys, it was 10 nil at half-time against England, then 13 nil before that, try to get Sabia now to extend here for England, Ford with the chance, Ford makes it, England, 16. New Zealand, seven and we have 17 to play against Willie Heinz. comes with the 21 shirt for england replacing the impressive ben youngs who will be on june 27th replacing joe moody here is the chase of geordie barrett and again watson with the receipt gathering his runners and he has many of them in this new england striker zealand feed the scrum again all 50 50 freshly hit by the kick just fought tooth and nail never have england all over the world seem thrown away in barely severe contact the last thing new zealand wants to see is that man carrying on it seems that his right knee hurts a little, it's okay, it was England, who led every step of the first try of the night went to Manu To Solo, who rebounded one in three minutes after the kickoff, he was up by 10 inhalf time and now them.

We are getting closer and closer to a final appearance thanks in large part to the efforts of this man, Maro Lutosia, he has been outstanding from minute one, he has simply been a thorn in the side of the All Blacks group, he stole my notes, he took it hard and his tackles right in the middle. Everything, against two of the best in the world, there is no doubt about that: Italiano and White Hawk, but he has been aware of any problem. The short side is so dangerous that the channel eludes Richard, which will mean someone else will have to step up. in a first receiver to olangi with a crunch he slides it back with jojo, who else with a tackle to the dealer sonogram williams makes his way to the defense barrett bodenbury desperate here to try to open the english defense who says jose has some of this Jesus opposes what Bowdoin Barrett is behind here to get Reese Daley back, so he is also killed and now New Zealand comes in, it's a disaster at the breakdown in a good competition, everyone loses their feet on the slippery surface here in Yokohama asking George to offer a shield. back he's going to give a touch, they'll pick up the pace here you have it's the Bowden Barrack infield for geordie barrett now with sunnyville williams sonny williams distance numbers on the left that's a beautiful ball excellent hands also from reed still alive in the background paranara side destroying it sonic williams here we go through the big man it's a difficult long ball for reese to get back in and then he goes back for the steal who is here england just leaving everything i've done the audi seville park? hitting shots just when you think the All Blacks are awake.

England's desperate defense finally came through seemingly giving away Farrell's down again. He looks like he's getting shot in the ribs. He is not very severe. I can't believe he's still out there with one leg. He just watches what happens. in this contact, the fight, yes, just one hand there because the clear hand for manu tulane you are playing the ball on the floor, so we are reversing the feet with a push to the face, the greatest of the efforts that we experienced before. without the ball oh my god what happened here is you have the penalty and then without the ball you push the man in the face off the ball and the penalty is reversed to keep him disciplined.

Yes, the number five is pretty clear on the screens, okay, describes better. Sam Whitelock's reaction, Carlton was simply born out of frustration, wasn't he? They are trying to increase the pace we have to give it. Owen Fráil has just got his hands on the ball and England are about to put in a little more force to finish. With more changes to finish the game, you can see the fun side. Luke Cowan Dick will appear and juicy 16 Joe Marlar at 17 and Mark Wilson at 20. Needs to see some of the bang bang England have brought. In this contest they have not missed the entire night's tour, crack with a run in retaliation, goes for the other lock, hits the white lock hard, there is a textbook that addresses England's 1, Patrick, and enters through the all blacks also in jersey 19 replacing 71.

Sam Whitelock has never lost a World Cup match. He's out of the way of the ladies team trying to get a late win down here by nine lawyers again at the start line. He jumped on his own ball and applied pressure when New Zealand were turned over. Here we also have penalty advantage for England Heinz, it's José Heinz deep for Farrell Billy Vunipola and you imagine the kicking tee will be sent straight to 100, usually, so discipline New Zealand, but they just took control of this English group. clear line from italics the second half of whitelock awards the penalty to England 22 to relieve the pressure and this time retaliate consider this now keep the scoreboard unofficial warning if I have other infringements belowHere because they are piling up, it's going to be a card assembly yellow, okay, so go ahead and talk and I'll reset the clock, everything else will be refereed, don't worry, don't say a word, thank you, you could be from Steve Hansen. there's still another third and fourth play-off game next week, not the way Steve Hansen would have wanted Ender's career in New Zealand those guys those fans Englishman Eddie Jones just saw his shot in a country of absolute dream with 12 minutes left it will take you as long off this george ford clock as humanly possible keep that clock ticking.

I hope the score continues to advance in their favor and they lead by seven to three minutes thanks to the fact that Manu Tualangi Farrell has handed over the tee. to george ford 44 meters in the angle to make it a 12 point game in favor of england george ford channels it well george what a great kick it is just to give him a little more room to breathe if you see some more subs come on, just to reconfirm marla carl and dicky and mark the amazing jordy barrett patting him on the back but he's going down in england they slide and climb over him heinz in the back forward steve here they come through the air this time around daley v reese daley gets out of the race and lets his forwards in there and there's a couple that took down reese cruz was there they have to be next on the board here kane good hands for reese reese b daley greece goes through england isolated do this all the afternoon goes over the ball and in this picture you normally see a lot more blacks supporting but just look at the two whites come back in numbers and the wilson technique on the ball strong metal tj penara rhys still can't move that area that's where they've been a little hungrier going back to defense remember New Zealand breaks it's easier to go forward harder to come back and that's where they've just worked overtime this England team tonight something unusual for all the blacks around the support corridors and in the other side as kt mentions five six England players in the 71st minute working hard to get back, that's what all you have to do to get back to in defensive moments like that is win a penalty. england with some real power on the rolling mall going up and down with him dragging him down new zealand killing him brown beats one i'll try it herewood will really liven things up late kane oh that's a massive low blow that stopped him severely big hands to the savior williams williams immobilized by farrell barrett again they swarm around england was crossed again by perinata barrett and many more continue forward crack crack crack in defense and england simply cools their jets for a moment it will be their starting line shot and that could be for New Zealand's defensive masterclass, isn't it from this English 23?

You mentioned the names of the Cruise Wilson players that came off the bench and they all stood up tonight. New Zealand asked questions when they had the brilliant ball. decision making at contact the wind crucially penalizes a complete defensive performance by England and that man who will be, will not breathe easily is still realizing that he is playing against New Zealand, there are still six and a half minutes left, but wait for this line . to be a catch drive, let's take the soul trot basically from the start after an incredible run of play, gets an early break from boss Eddie Jones to the middle and is simply the epitome of the all blacks tonight, the eras basics you won't be too disappointed.

England have become a scrum a few more valuable seconds off the clock. Oh, so if England can hold on here, they will face either Spring Box or Wales at the same venue next week. New Zealand, it is the last chance for the All Blacks. Paranara sweeps away. and he just ruins it on the other side of the park he is marinara bowden barrett held and moved across the line well and again the defense point from england sunnyvale williams put it behind heinz reads it and takes it willie prepares for watson watson beats geordie baron around the corner new zealand carmen nigel owens wants none of it heinz rooney caller slides it through the puck forward holds the call stack it on the breakdown numbers just if they can run here for england cross the line for Watson look at him with a stop and he moves away six.

This will be a way to finish it. They keep coming. It's late afternoon, just after traveling from England. We have three and a half to play. They are free by 12. This game is. theirs finally if you're an english fan watching this you can breathe a big sigh of relief that's the ball game forcing new zealand forced the old bats into the chip a brilliant read by heinz At the back, it feels like any good scrum half would have cleaned up. an incredible career as the All Blacks coach obviously won the world cup in 2015. This is all absolutely huge with the All Blacks jersey taking on Richie McCall as captain and he is all black team tonight.

I have fallen short of an outstanding one. england team george ford grabbed the tee from farrell and has been impeccable with every shot to the posts this is his most difficult push to george ford george ford is human that one on the left and then come the all blacks through barrett two to play sonny b williams clear the dough look forward keep this guy playing on clay though he's the call who else is there doing the tackle barrett holding it back with the back of his hand to retalic doubles it in the corner for reese points back? they went down for england they finished in a big way against australia last week they can repeat it here cole is not the man you need moving it around the pitch he settles here and takes his head towards him it has been a complete performance they open with so much skill and pace to establish that lead 7-0 a lead they have never lost barrett williams goes all the blacks rise again charred williams are all on their feet it has been an absorbing and physical platinum class semi-final that is England kicking back sums up the game and it is fantastic and it is england who emerges as the winner eddie jones has done it again he has planned a big surprise at the world cup these men are too good for full time all blacks england 19 new zealand seven there is still one to choose eddie jones and his man , that guy was something else tonight, Maro Tozia, your man of the match, yes, he could have chosen any of half a dozen English players, two alarms or two flanks, Underhill Kerry, but for me, Mario Tonji from the first minute It was absolute. line up in the winning lineup on the black side steal lineups win penalty to the contact area bring a complete performance from the great England block and that's why he is my Mastercard player of the match what a performance by Maru Atoji and this England team well as you say Martin Williams There are still so many men in white who raised their hands and said, "I'll take a dip here.

I'll aim up and take on the number one team in the world. Are you impressed with Undergirl and Curry Whitelock finally suffers a loss in a World Cup?" world steve hansen's quest for the third second strike rather yes, he had no excuses tonight second best new zealand very, very, very well afraid, but england was inspired each player individually simply stood up to play george ford controlled him they gave a firework standing defensively without a doubt for me the best performance under eddie jones's england team everyone was fit everyone was firing new zealand had no answers for the england machine is great great players for the all blacks who don't they were able to participate in the game that eddie jones created people can They came and thought that England would catch Driver more and squeeze the life out of New Zealand.

They played, they put the ball wide, they won the contact area, they won the game, the subtle little passes from people like Sinclair, from the polar brothers, took Jamie. george the greats completely outclassed new zealand yes new zealand came back before they threatened when sevilla came back and still won the call up for england it will feel like they won the world cup after this but they have a long week left to go ahead I appreciate that this is the number one team in the world, New Zealand, against the number two team in the world, but New Zealand have big favorites for this game.

Karen Reed, all black captain, I know, very disappointed, obviously, do you feel like the first 40 minutes just arrived? comes into your game plan uh yeah you know I guess it's pretty hard to put into a few words you know what it means um but yeah you know you have to give it to the English the credit started off extremely well and yeah probably just we could. I'm not getting into that game, Homer, it looks like this slider ball really stressed your defense, what do you think? You missed so many tackles here because there are a lot of tackles, we don't normally see that from the entire black team.

Yeah, look, you know, I think so. We'll look at the game and there will be so many what ifs and things we could have done so much better. You know, at a stage like this you can't afford it and it cost us a lot, thank you. hello victorious englandclinton owen farrell now just tell me kept from the beginning in the hakka the boys are willing to do it, right? Yeah look it's a big game so I woke up in the semi-finals if you see all the black guys and that says. These are the biggest games you can have at this stage and you know we feel like we prepared well and started the game talk about starting the game the score in two minutes should give you great confidence yeah look at all these big games.

Teams get physical, attack each other from the beginning and we knew that was going to happen to us and we wanted to make sure we were playing that game as well. One thing we saw tonight was evident: their front row, in particular, was taking the lead. ball to the line and giving those late balls showing a bit of skill tonight yes look we have several ways of playing we have a big powerful pack but I just said they can use the ball Also we want to put it in space and tonight we did well. Rugby Ball Car Final Japan

2019

Health itself yeah, no, it's brilliant, it's brilliant to get there, it's brilliant to be a part of obviously and we'll enjoy this win first.

We'll make sure it's Burwell now, good luck next week. Thank you so much. Okay, it's a very difficult time. Obviously, Steve Hanson, do you think the first half is defensive from the beginning? Oh, look first. I would like to congratulate England, I think they played a tremendous game of football and on that day they deserve to win the game and you know you can't, you can't give them even half a step because they will, so at the end of the day. That's what rugby is all about and congratulations coach, I know you still have another game next week.

You've been involved with this team for 15 years, two world cups. I will give you the platform, so that you can simply say: would you like it? I want to say it for the people at home, yeah, look, I'm very proud of our team. They've done a tremendous job for their country and, you know, we weren't good enough tonight, so we have to accept it. and so does everyone at home and our fans, and you know, all the credit goes to England, you saw the boys at the end, they're still trying hard and that's all you're going to ask, I'm very proud of them, thank you very much , coach.

Good luck next week, yes, regards and thanks to Japan for a wonderful tournament. I appreciate it, so their cup hopes have been destroyed by Joan Marlar, Willie Hines and company, the All Blacks, who simply show how difficult it is to get to the world's biggest stage. In rugby, no team has reached five world cup finals. It will continue like this until 20-23. Yeah, well, there was a lot of talk about New Zealand winning three games in a row well ahead of the rest of the team in this competition, but that's it. to bed to play an excellent England performance tonight, they really were too important defensively.

It's fantastic to see a lot of fight from England in this goal. Eddie Jones, England coach. He hadn't seen the ordinary team come in that kind of form for a long time. a long time ago, how did you get the team to have that attitude? Well, Minnesota, master, the strange look of safety that we're playing, it's a great team today, you know, Steve Hansen is a great coach, Kieran Reed is a great captain, we had to dig deep. You know, we knew we were going to have to come off the line hard and keep taking time and space away from them, we managed to do it, we caused some mistakes and maybe we had some lucky bouncers and we got the result, I mean everyone talks.

It's a lot about attack, but you still have to have great defense in these types of tournaments, aren't you and your team fantastic in that area tonight? Yes I think the world cup is always about defense and you know our best form of attack is our defense we create opportunities for our defense to attack but again I would like to pay the biggest compliment on New Zealand they have won two cups in the world in a row, they have been a great team, so we have to go a lot deeper. win them another world cup final for you, but how do you feel?

Look, I'm excited for the boys. They have worked very hard to get to where they are. And we just had another week in the competition, man. good luck next week ok thanks arigato minasana well they love eddie jones in japan, they also love him a little more in england after he helped plan, i guess that's the best way to put it, another world cup annoying, it's their bread and butter now, as we watch the later scenes, oh look, you can do all the work behind the scenes in training, but it's all about what happens with that feeling that was handed to a man tonight to the mastercard player of the match, the smile says it all. toejay, that was a proper test match, right?

Yes, it really was fair. I played with the All Blacks, they were the best team in the world for a reason, we really had to play for 80 minutes. I am very grateful to my team, to the coaches, to my teammates. It was a good day at the office for us. about the good ol' boys better than the outstanding gods, I mean just tell me about the line, you completely destroyed it there, uh, I guess I wouldn't say it was always a battle, New Zealand has had the best line in the world for for a long time time so a big thank you to our teammates who did a great job this week and especially Steve Wolford tell me about this team how they are doing throughout the tournament to give this performance tonight yeah I think we are building we are game after game week after week we're building we're moving in the right direction um, we have, we haven't done the work yet, but we're one step closer, well, I don't see it now.

I would only like to fight for the trophy, then for the Mastercard player of the match, the England player, Marutoji.
