RWC QF3 - England ‘the moveable force’ vs Fiji ‘the stoppable object’

[Slick]

A half time philosophical question to ponder.

Do camera operators deliberately look for and pick out the biggest wankers supporting England in the crowd when they score, or are all England supporters in the crowd wankers?

[Slick]

Appreciating the Scottish alternative commentary

England the better team, especially in the tight, but very fortunate with the ref so far - Curry should've been yellowed and that last scrum was clearly a penalty too. Reynal gonna Reynal.

Fiji largely as self destructive as they have been since half time in the Australia game.

, fair play

[el capitan]

So far:

England have been alright, particularly defensively and linespeed.

Fiji haven't brought much to the table though - attack is loose and with little idea, defence is chaotic if they don't have a big hit lined up in front of them, discipline pretty crap, general and restart kicking not great, and kickable goals have been wasted.

The game has been played for large parts in the Fiji half, and England just keep building on what's presented to them.

They’re picking out the ones who are socially acceptable. You should see the level of wanker they’re not showing.

[ASMO]

World Cup in danger of running out of Referees, First Jaco Peyper, then Dan Biggar, Sexton next, can they afford to lose Farrell?

This. England just need to keep their shape and they’ll stay ahead.

[Hal Jordan]

That Marchant try is even better on second viewing.

[Lady P]

Woodward is dressed to be noticed, and not in a good way.

[pjm1]

Itoje playing his best half for some time. Good speed and couple of nice touches, lineout etc.

Too early to say he’s back but fingers crossed.

I think an alternative Scottish commentary could be very entertaining.

Fucking hit him, hit him! Fuck him up ach he’s over, the wanker.

There’s a couple of wardrobe ladies at ITV who are winning a lot of bets.

Red trousers and slip ons all over the shop.

England are the better team from what I've seen just that one with Earl was pretty clear imo. Not seen whole game so can't comment on refs overall performance.

England will come through comfortably.

Afghanistan just pumped England by 69 runs in Delhi.

Yup, bang on

I blame Buttler.

[Hal Jordan]

Turnover ball, kicked too long, normal service resumed.

[el capitan]

Fiji on the ropes here, time to kill off the game.

[Hal Jordan]

Genge you stupid cunt.

[Blackmac]

"HE WHAAACKED IM"

[sockwithaticket]

STFU, Owen.

Incredibly dumb penalty from Genge.

[C69]

He slapped me

[petej]

STFU, Owen.

Incredibly dumb penalty from Genge.

Just so unlikeable.

[Sandstorm]

5 times Fiji fail to kick it out. Fortunately Farrell helped them out.

[PCPhil]

Well forward pass again.

[sockwithaticket]

Pity the poor ball girl being landed on by a full speed Fijian!

[Hal Jordan]

Fiji's lineout is killing them.

[Insane_Homer]

Laws clearly supporting his weight on his hands, left arm securely planted

[Slick]

STFU, Owen.

Incredibly dumb penalty from Genge.

I just don’t understand why refs are allowing all this backchat from every team

[el capitan]

Fiji on the ropes here, time to kill off the game.

Come on, we've got to put them away here.....

[Blackmac]

Fiji are genuinely stupid at times.

[Slick]

It’s just really hit me that this England team are going to be in the semi final. Shit World Cup

[JM2K6]

Laws clearly supporting his weight on his hands, left arm securely planted

Yes, but it was open play at that point - ball had rolled out the side of the ruck.

England aren't good, but Fiji are worse - they are not playing knockout rugby in the slightest.

Yeah, if someone screamed at me the way Farrell did after that penalty they'd be off to the sheds. It's terrible for the game .

[Slick]

Oh, I take it back, apologies to the camera people

[Hal Jordan]

Smith lucky not to get injured the way his leg got bent on the tackle from that hospital pass.
