'13 WC | Semi Final | New Zealand 20-18 England | Wembley

[lockyno1]

Good result will be a better final, you just know England would suck in the final

 

[aqua_duck]

Kearney cannot go into the final with Goodwin and Kasiano, Goodwin tries hard but just lacks the quality, Kasiano is an absolute liability out there

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Is it fair to say its probably one of the best WC games in history?

 

[royce10]

That's the sparring session nz needed before the final.

 

[Billythekid]

George Burgess you're a disgrace. One tackle left and you do a high shot, deadset one of the biggest brain snaps you will see. Sucks that England are out.

 

[afinalsin666]

That f**king sucks. 45 seconds. 45 f**king seconds. note the quick tap? How many f**king times is that called back in a normal match! Just... f**k.

 

[Tommy Smith]

The good news for NZ is that they get Moa back from Kearney madness next week to replace Kasiano.

 

[Mr Angry]

Well played the poms.

Kiwis.....wow.....just.

 

[Danish]

WHAT. A. FINISH!!!

That is hands down the greatest international game I have ever seen. Just incredible.

NZ looked shot for all money, but they just willed themselves over the line. Can't play down how influential FPN's run was in that final set, massive run carrying multiple poms on his back which they never recovered from.

George Burgess the villian with a just geniused head hunt on SBW to gift them the penalty too.

I hate the poms, but I do feel for them after that loss. They played the best game I've ever seen them play, and did not deserve to lose.

The kangaroos are going to have a game on their hands next week

 

[Scorpio30]

Just needs less Kas and more Mat...

 

[undertaker]

Oh, that is sooooo cruel. This reminded me so much of the Brisbane vs Melbourne 2008 SF. Westwood and Hall won't be sleeping well tonight. Two chances to win the game in the last 10 mins.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Had been contained till the final seconds and woke the sleeping family up!
Great game, but didn't see either side troubling Aussie if they played like that!

 

[coolumsharkie]

That was an incredible game... Just wish the Poms had won, better for the game over there.

 

[Diesel]

NZ will be much better for this run, Clearly to tweak a few changes and Kearney to put the cones out in training

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

George Burgess will never be selected for England again.

 

[miguel de cervantes]

What a game! Doubters of the world cup and international rugby league can go and get f*****!

 

[MrAnonymous]

 

[undertaker]

Missed kick from Sinfield was the difference.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

NZ got by on individual brilliance, will need more than that against Australia.

 

[Misanthrope]

Frustration at the result aside, that has to be the best international I've ever seen. Could very well be the best game of league I've seen in a long while too.

England... just. Jesus. If you're going to lose, at least don't lose to a soft try like that. Heart-breaking.

I'm not particularly interested in seeing NZ/Australia in the final. England could have set the game alight in their backyard with a finals berth.
