England 40 Australia 16 Full Time HT 17-9 Very good performance by England.....outstanding in parts |

By:
Narrow margins, we thought. Suffocatingly tight they said.
In the end, it was England by an autobahn. |
|
By:
24-point victory was their joint biggest Test win against Australia, in fact their three biggest victories against the Wallabies have come under Eddie Jones.
|
|
By:
Not competitive. More like a Walla-bye.

By:
C'mon New Zealand, batter these by more than 13 pts please.

![]() Well played England, they have a massive chance Ireland as always flatter to deceive on the big stage, they haven't bottled it here though, they've just been clouted |

Can't see past NZ
We are probably going to get that treatment next as well ![]() |

Full-time Wales 20-19 France Wales made heavy weather of it, but they are into another Rugby World Cup semi-final! |

By:
Wales coach Warren Gatland on BBC Radio 5 Live: I think the better team lost today. The thing about our boys is they don't give up, they keep trying until the end. We kept working away. France came out of the blocks well. At half-time we just said we've got to score next, we did that and obviously the red card was the turning point. It was pretty special.

Wales luck was in today
Probably make the final now |

Full-time Japan 3-26 South Africa
Enough is enough for Handre Pollard. There's no route to the Japanese line so the fly-half lashes into touch to bring this quarter-final to a close. |

The Brave Blossoms formed a circle on the field, tears running down many cheeks, as the Springboks thanked the fans. Hearts were broken in Tokyo, but Japanese fans found their voice to give their team one last roar before they left the pitch.
Were good value and surprise team of the tournament |
|
By:
South Africa did what needed to be done. Streetwise performance, not entertaining but I admire their style just as much as I admire the swashbuckling All Blacks

By:
England @ 3.5 is a huge price to beat N.Z. and I've taken that.

By:
Slippy England are about 100/1 to beat NZ.
|
|
By:
The makeup of the semi finals is good for mythical matches - who will score the most points NZ or SA, ditto England or Wales. I wonder there are markets anywhere?
|

By:
I'll have a fiver with you England to beat N.Z. @ 100/1 T_K_D_M.
If we win give a monkey to Macmillan Cancer research for me. If England lose I will donate a fiver to the charity of your choice. |
|
By:
Can't see us beating them slippy but 100/1 would be worth a fiver
we ain't a 100s poke that's for sureNew Zealand just seem to steamroller the World Cups nowadays, since getting the monkey of their back in 2011 they have less pressure on them |

By:
the markets for the world cup on here has been very poor

By:
With just over 24 hours to go before England take on New Zealand in the first semi-final, England coach Eddie Jones refused to confirm or deny various media reports that England would perform a display of morris dancing in response the All Black's haka.

By:
HT: England 10-0 New Zealand
Paul Grayson : Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live That was probably the best 40 mins for England under Eddie Jones. Their ability to create overlaps and test New Zealand while delivering pinpoint accurate passing was a joy to behold. New Zealand were hanging on, they could have been two or three scores down. The All Blacks were as ragged as I've seen them for a long time. |

16-7 with 12 minutes to go, nail biting stuff !

Astonishing! What a performance. Eddie Jones has earned every penny. His team deserve every accolade heading their way. Difficult to disagree with any of that. |

Amazing seans. One of the sporting shocks of the year that is wasn't close.

Wd Slippy on backing England. I thought NZ easily.

New Zealand coach Steve Hansen: "Congratulations to England, they played a tremendous game of footy and deserved to win. You cannot give them half a step, but they took it.
"I am really proud of our team, they have done a tremendous job, but we were not good enough. We take it on the chin, the boys tried their guts out and I am proud of them." |

By:
In sporting terms, I have never been so proud to be English. That was awesome.

Sorry just had to go outside and dunk my head in the pig s***
When did England suddenly become good in World Cups? We use to lay or back against England knowing we were dog vomit, and knowing we were quids in Well done to England though, should really be winning it from here, but I'll be backing whoever they play in the final, sods law to beat the Aussies and then the worlds best NZ, only to set it up for the Welsh isn't it |
