England inaugurates the New Oval Order. With a devastating deployment and an intelligent strategy, he has eliminated New Zealand (19-7) from the Japan Rugby World Cup and is planted with serious aspirations in the final. The team assembled piece by piece by Eddie Jones had been beginning to work as a precision mechanism for months. But this Saturday has wasted soul and, above all, a lot of rugby. He has not done so with a predatory game but dominant. Anyone is not able to expel the 'All Blacks' from the throne.

The semifinal was a challenge from the 'haka', with the English formed at an angle, a challenging smile, to contemplate the warrior dance. The 'XV de la Rosa' came out as a gale, with a side-by-side attack, from support to support, which concluded with a Tuilagi rehearsal a minute and a half (7-0). Instantly there was a second offensive and then a third. All oval owners wore white.

The first lost pass gave the All Blacks a 50-meter respite and for minutes the crash turned into a beautiful round-trip carousel. But the English strikers surrendered at full speed. They took fast and clean balls for the young Melee half , they surprised in the 'counterruck', forced punishments. New Zealand players multiplied like mills to try to plate; this Saturday they lacked forcefulness, their rivals became giants.

The All Blacks, not usual, looked uncomfortable. England, well equipped in defense, opted for the deep kick to play near the opposing suits. He was able to extend his advantage with a second trial of Underhill , which referee Owens annulled because an attacker, launched as a decoy, arrived in his maneuver to mislead the defenders.

The english wall

The English approach contained a risk. The mobility that gave the party favored the losses, and each race of the All Blacks supposed tens of meters . A breath of breath for your suffocated game. Thanks to a transformed blow, England extended the difference (10-0) to the break. The All Blacks, alive despite everything, wondered about the ball. The big question was whether their rivals could endure that demonic rhythm.

England returned as he had left. Attentive in defense, fast on the hunt for the loose ball, lethal when running. On leaving a tour on the opposite 22, the English midfielder Youngs scored another trial , which referee Owens canceled by a dubious forward pass inside the maul. The European set was not out of control. Rather, he was entrusted to his command to add 13-0 transformed blows.

A ball recovered on the ground by New Zealander Ardie Savea woke up his team, which advanced to the opposite 22. The same player stole the English touche and rehearsed without opposition (13-7) to reopen the semifinal. The English response was effective. Again to attack and three more points with the foot (16-7). And another three more (19-7) that, in the absence of ten minutes, doubled the pulse on their side.

Neither the changes in both teams nor fatigue opened gaps in the British defense. The total offensive of the All Blacks, trying to chain races, was the harsh image of their defeated greatness , the speed and precision that have astonished the world stamped against the English wall.

New Zealand, the tournament's favorite , will not be able to chain a third consecutive World Cup. He will have to face the wound of having been dominated. His two openings on the field, Mounga and Beauden Barrett, found no attack lines, were surpassed by the order of the two Englishmen, Ford and Farrell. The blunt black front, surpassed by the explosive of the 'XV de la Rosa'. In a vibrant performance, England took possession (56%) and territorial ownership (62%). He conquered the ball, a Saturday of glory and the pass to the final.
