it is a massive game, willie appears in the all, blacks, it is something out ita the all, blacks, itcup in japan. to now, the first semifinal of the world cup injapan. england's history against the all blacks obey hanging over eddie jones history against the all blacks obey hanging over eddiejones guitar clouds, never mind that weather. england have never beaten them in a world cup, in fact, england have never beaten them in a world cup, infact, in england have never beaten them in a world cup, in fact, in the 41 meetings, new zealand have lostjust seven times. the last one was in 2012 at twickenham. they have not last a world cup match at all since 2007. they are bidding for an unprecedented third consecutive world cup title. so, the question for eddiejones, world cup title. so, the question for eddie jones, how world cup title. so, the question for eddiejones, how db2? world cup title. so, the question for eddie jones, how db2? one of those things where ye, something she can teach on something she have to learn from experience. there are days that great story of the guy hanging of

in dublin a year ago all blacks, most recently in dublin a yearago and all blacks, most recently ins like peter 0 leanne rob kearney at fullback, but you feel that this ireland team are not quite at the level of a year ago and you wonder if new zealand arejust coming into an ago and you wonder if new zealand are just coming into an ominously rich vein of form. if ireland are going to do it, you feel they have to roll black clock and put out their best performance of 2019 by some distance. more broadly on the quarter finals, some distance. more broadly on the quarterfinals, could we some distance. more broadly on the quarter finals, could we see japan spring a surprise? great question and that is the game all the neutrals are looking forward to and obviously the hundreds of millions of japanese fans here obviously the hundreds of millions ofjapanese fans here injapan obviously the hundreds of millions of japanese fans here in japan where iam. we of japanese fans here in japan where i am. we have four fantastic quarterfinals, the england and australia, renewing the old rivalry and edd

the semifinal against the all blacks, i don't think i'd ever seen a game plan laid down and be amendedfirst minute until the last minute as that was. you have got to hope that he's got something else up his sleeve for south africa. the good news for england fans is that he understands the african mindset, he has coached them. maybe not this group of players but he was assistant coach in the world cup so he knows what he's doing and i've been very impressed with his contribution. the countdown to the final is very nearly complete. just one more day of preparations and then on saturday, it's england against south africa in the world cup final. can eddiejones's africa in the world cup final. can eddie jones's team africa in the world cup final. can eddiejones's team left rugby union's greatest prize? as andy was mentioning, south africa have been able to bring back kolbe into their side. he missed a semifinal with an ankle injury. they are looking to be the first team to win after losing a game in the pool stages. especially going through the pool stages and injuring against italy, probab

their next opponents are ireland, who the all blacks have lost two twice in the last three meetings.hances. they are not back—to—back world cup winners for no reason. they are that because of the personnel they have, because of the personnel they have, because of the culture they have, and the performances they managed to put together on a very regular basis. so for us it would be, to a degree, a mountain to climb. if ireland face reggie pot —— rugby's version of mount fuji, wales face a lower road. they can't play the all blacks until the final and next they play a far back france team that has hardly impressed so far, all a reward from winning their group. that was massive for us. that was honestly a big goal coming into the competition. the last time we won our pool games was back in 1987, so it isa our pool games was back in 1987, so it is a fantastic achievement for this group. and it gives us a lot of confidence going into this quarterfinal. england have already travelled to stop further than the last world cup, but now it is all change. they have australia in the last eight, a
