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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
