I've ground my beans and am waiting to the coffee ritual to perfection.

Nervous times...  Cmon England!

But, some of the team are actually quite likeable

Dont tell anyone but I quite like Farrell whenever I hear him speak and Mako is obviously a good valleys boy so he's OK.

been catching up on the prematch. I enjoyed the 1970's version of the Haka, that's a ritual that seems to have evolved in the last 50 years

Not nervous at all.

All the hype about England potentially winning the game is mostly just, hype.

NZ are a class apart and need to have an off day to be beatable. We maybe have a 5-10% chance of doing it. I'm still hoping for that chance to come through but it's not like 2003 where we expected to win and would have been really disappointed if we hadn't.

I feel like England have a 25% to 40% chance. I just hope they hold it together.

C’mon Kyle : )

I’m not a Python fan, but I’d love to see england reply to the Hakka with:

Good start but they’re so quick to pounce on our mistakes.

The line out looks like it’s going to be a real competition, the AB’s are going after us there.

A couple of England drop goals would be nice at the moment. Thought we were going to get one at about 4 min.

England need to stay positive here, starting to kick more rather than keep doing whats working.

I hope Wales come out playing their A game like England are here. The next score will be huge.

Wow !!

More nervous then ever now!

England probably disappointed to only be 10 nil up.

New Zealand very glad for the break and relived to be only 10 down.

Hopefully the rain holds off and doesn’t spoil a potentially great second half

40 more minutes like that please. NZ hardly been in Eng 22. Line outs lost, under pressure at the scrum, under pressure virtually everywhere else. Only criticism of Eng? Few sloppy handling errors

Gooooo on England!!

I can’t actually sit back and enjoy this...it’s so tense.

NZ do look rattled but I’m just waiting for them to come back with a sucker punch that kills us. Curry and Underhill have been good at the breakdown and Itoje has been a pain in the bum.

likewise.  But I’m not daring to dream - the AB’s have a habit of scoring big in the second half.  We need another try at least.

Farrell's injury could be a real problem here.

It’s been a great first half for a neutral, albeit England supporter today. Several England players having a great game. Nigel too.

50:50 now?

I still don't expect England to win, but at least they've turned up.

Itoje has been the best player on the pitch.

NZ have put no pressure on us at all so far. Unless that changes - we'll be in the final.

England will win have no worries.Then another victory over SA and its all theirs.Not easy to type as a welshman.Realistically,England are the only northern hemisphere team that had a chance of going all the way.
Good luck England fans.
