And another

[Anubis]

England throwing this away. Going to pieces.

[Pidge]

Not. Rolling. Away. At the five.

 

Twat of a ref.

[Pidge]

Well done Farrell.

[Pidge]

Nice stamp on the foot by the scrum half there.

 

Great run from Earl.

[Anubis]

Top work from Earl.

[Anubis]

Harder work than it should have been. Credit to Fiji for that second half effort.

[Pidge]

Yeah, always a fight. Best way.

[Mudface]

Magnificent win, inspired by Angel Kate. Rugby's coming home.

[George Costanza]

Another great game of Rugby.  Fiji were excellent, England were solid apart from that period in the second half.  Smith will be sore in the morning that's for sure.  Backline still lacks balance & cohesion. 

 

Fiji should defo be introduced into the Rugby Championship.  They could develop further into a top 5 team easily

 

Now for the main course.  Can SA strangle France into submission.  Is Dupont fully fit or will rushing him back backfire.  He's going to get smashed early on that's for sure.

[Chip Butty]

Not sure I can bring myself to want either of these two to win, it’s more of who is the least egregious, the French, or the Safa’s?

Don't think the Smith experiment worked, and SA or France will smash him to pieces if he is picked.

NZ not winning the World Cup. Their coverage for irelands tries was abysmal. Real opportunity missed for ireland just not good enough and NZ worthy winners . 

 

20  mins against 14  men should have sealed the deal . Farrell and his team culpable in not subbing Porter when Barnes had it in his head he was driving in at the scrum . Porter buck stupid to not realise the AB prop was letting him do it because they got penalty after penalty .  Frustrating to watch . Ireland could easily have won the match however in this instance they didn't deserve to. 

 

SA or France will take NZ out by the root.  

If the Boks beat France, I fancy them to beat the ABs, but I have the sneaking suspicion New Zealand has yet to play their best game at this tournament.

What a start from France

[Anubis]

French out of the blocks like  whippets.

[Creator Supreme]

Brilliant start from the French!

[Chip Butty]

Perfect start from the French 

[Creator Supreme]

Should have scored again, missed opportunity.

[Anubis]

Game on.

[Chip Butty]

Wow, what a start to the game

[Creator Supreme]

Wow!

[Anubis]

Is this being played at Goodison?

[Lee909]

Talk about lucky

Fucking hell

[Creator Supreme]

2 incredible conversions, fuck me.

[Chip Butty]

Touch of luck again there for the Safa’s
