Incredibly dumb penalty from Genge.
I just don’t understand why refs are allowing all this backchat from every team
We're going to meme our way to the final despite being shite, just like the last time the tournament was in France.

Nah, watching them getting smashed by the first decent team they’ve played will be worth it

England doing what they need to do to win. Doesn't need to be fancy or special.

Didn't see, my son is wrecking the living room so it's rather distracting.

Do Fiji know they are allowed to contest for the ball when England does a box kick.

I don't think they know

Mitchell has been adequate at scrum half. Everytime he tries something off the cuff it goes wrong.

Don't really get why Curry kicked off about that?

Also quite funny to see a posh boy like him picking a fight with a former prison guard.

Fiji hit back. Replacement 9 speeding up their play nicely.

Infuriating. England have had 20 minutes here where Fiji were absolutely abject to kill the game totally, haven't, and now they are back in it.

Why? Players get dragged out of rucks all the time, why does it matter if it's by your feet?

Sporting justice with that try, Reynal absolutely fucked Fiji twice in succession there. Wonderful offload.

Fiji lucky with some of Raynal's interpretations in the build to that try.
