England 33-19 New Zealand: How Twickenham learned to love the bomb

England's remarkable 33-19 win over New Zealand at Twickenham Stadium marked a turning point in their relationship with their fans. The match saw England adopt a more attacking approach, putting boot to ball 35 times and sparking chaos in the All Blacks' defense on both occasions.

At the heart of this change was coach Steve Borthwick's decision to stick with his initial tactics despite the initial criticism from fans and pundits. This faith in his system paid off as England outkicked their opponents, with George Ford playing a pivotal role in two crucial drop-goals that changed the game's complexion.

The team's depth and high competition were also on full display, with players like Ben Earl, Ollie Lawrence, Fraser Dingwall, and Marcus Smith all contributing to the victory. This growth and development under Borthwick have made England a formidable force in the rugby union world.

The match served as an answer to fans' doubts about Borthwick's tactics and the team's ability to compete with top-tier opponents. A 33-19 win over New Zealand is nothing short of sensational, and it has left English fans buzzing about their team's potential for success at the Rugby World Cup.
 
omg i was watching that match on stream last night with my mates πŸ“ΊπŸ’₯ i had no idea who ben earl was until he scored a try πŸ˜‚ anyway what's with all these drop-goals in rugby? is it like, super common now? and btw how do they even score those things? πŸ€”
 
I'm loving how England's new coach Steve Borthwick took the criticism from fans and pundits on the chin πŸ™Œ! He stuck to his guns with that attacking approach and boy did it pay off πŸ’₯! I mean, 35 attempts at boot to ball? That's some bold strategy 😎. And George Ford's drop-goals were pure magic ✨. The team's depth is also something to be reckoned with – all those players chipping in like they're trying to win the World Cup themselves πŸ†! It's a great sign for English rugby fans, and I think this win could be a game-changer at the Rugby World Cup πŸŽ‰
 
can't believe england finally found their groove under steve borthwick 🀩! that drop-goal by george ford was pure magic πŸ’« and the way they put pressure on nz's defense was just insane 😲 i mean, who would've thought they'd take down new Zealand 33-19 at twickenham? πŸ‰ it just goes to show that sometimes you gotta trust your process and stick with what works βš–οΈ and now england fans are riding high, thinking they might actually have a shot at winning it all πŸŽ‰
 
England's got a legit shot at that Rugby World Cup now πŸš€! They played some crazy attacking rugby, I mean 35 times they put boot to ball, that's insane! 😲 And George Ford's drop-goals were clutch. But you know what really surprised me? The team depth and all those players stepping up their game. It's like Borthwick knew exactly what he was doing from the start πŸ€“. Stats-wise, England had 55% possession and outkicked NZ 28-19 in territory gained. Not to mention they conceded just 3 penalties vs NZ's 7... that's some solid coaching right there πŸ’―!
 
lol @ the All Blacks thinking they can take England down like that! πŸ˜‚ 35 boot to ball attempts and they still managed to outscore them? 🀯 Steve Borthwick must be doing something right, I mean his tactics were getting roasted by fans and pundits but he stuck with it and BOOM! England comes out on top πŸ’₯ Ben Earl is a beast, I've been saying that about him for ages πŸ˜‚ Ollie Lawrence is another one of those hidden gems that's going to take England far in the Rugby World Cup 🀞 let's see how long they can keep this momentum going πŸš€
 
I mean, think about it... a turning point in England's relationship with their fans? That's so interesting because I feel like it's also saying something deeper about our expectations as spectators. We want to see a team that's not just relying on brute force, but can outsmart and outmaneuver the opposition too. And England's decision to stick with their initial tactics, despite criticism, is like... a symbol of their willingness to take risks and trust in their own process.

And what's even more fascinating is how this win has sparked all these hopes and dreams for their Rugby World Cup campaign. It's like we're investing our own emotions and expectations into the team's performance. But is that really healthy? I mean, shouldn't we be supporting them simply because they're playing rugby, not because we have this vested interest in their success? πŸ€”
 
omg this new england rugby team is on fire πŸš€! i mean steve borthwick's tactics were roasted by fans and pundits but he stuck to his guns and it paid off big time πŸ’―. that game was such a turning point for their relationship with the fans, we've all been doubting them for ages but now they're proving everyone wrong πŸ”₯. ben earl and ollie lawrence are like my new favorite players 🀩, they showed up big time when it mattered most. and george ford's drop-goals were pure magic ✨ can't wait to see what the rest of the rugby world has in store for us πŸŽ‰
