Here we are, watching a (so far) depressing semi-final rugby game between the England & NZ

The big black English guy is especially awesome (as all the players on both sides are)

But it doesn’t seem to be strength, so much as strategy that is creating a depressing (for us) game
The English seem to me (a very none sports person) to have a strategy a bit like a wolf pack.

When NZ gets the ball, the English seem to force the player to the side, then push the NZ player off side (whatever that is called, which doesn’t seem good, score opportunity wise)
At the beginning of the game the Brits surrounded our team during the Haka. Granted, I’m not into sport - but suspect this was a bit of a message.

They seem to have “studied” the All Blacks, and somehow seem to know how to predict and foil All Black strategy.

Hmmmm
Just another observation.

While they cannot be heard, the mouth/voice movements of players can be seen. They likely can also be interpreted by lip readers
Whoever wins this game (I’m off to bed) - all the players seem to have done their best. (They are sweating buckets.)

Congratulations to a hard fought game on both sides.

Good night all.
