I just want this to be over, it's not an exciting tight close ending. Excruciating.

You've been watching the game right? This team is monumentally thick.

Has Brace just given them a YC warning after a free kick?
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Yeah, that was a nice finish by Care. Samoa largely the architects of their own downfall with multiple missed touch kicks and off the ball stuff.

We could have wound the clock down a bit but no... on the brightside if we win England might be in navy kit for quarters. I'll take what I can.

We do not deserve to win I think a loss would be better for Eng rugby.

Eng take it home with Farrell at the helm so that sorts next week's selection then :thumbup:

Was that a smirk I saw from Borthwick then? At least Farrell has the decency to look ashamed.

Care bailed us out big time there.

Also Samoa competely shat the bed second half, we were there for the taking.

An undefeated group stage, hard for anyone to claim we are anything but favourites from here

Gutted for Samoa.

England can't improve and move on until they dump Farrell, Tuilagi and several others.

I like Brace despite his Welsh and Munster connections but he shat the bed there
He's a grade A cheat. And especially when it comes to reffing Eng v anyone.

There's a few in that team that should never play for England again, captain fantastic first among them.
