So hard not to be completely cynical right now.

If Laws didnt win that "hands on the ground" then why wasn't he penalised for slowing it down?

Never mind, score. Oh my!

Also unlucky. The ruck where he was shouting 'no hands' at Lawes repeatedly and Lawes kept clamped onto the ball should have been a penalty for Fiji right under the English posts.

Come on Fiji. I'll have to support England if they get through.

Raynal is a shambles at ruck time. Consistently pish.

Good option by Farrell.

Whatever happens here, England had ample opportunity between minutes 40-60 to completely kill the game. That they didn't was fucking awful.

I thought so, Lawes was dragging the ball backwards as Raynal was telling him to let go.

Yup, he started dragging it after being told no, then was told no another six times before letting go.

He'll be lucky if he remembers it given the number if tines he's had his bell rung.

Itoje and co. got away with that a bit, but Fiji have allowed themselves to have the man sacked at every lineout. Dumb not to adapt.

Many things have improved in Fre rugby. Reffing is not one of them.

See previous. I think there is a valid viewpoint that one thing that hinders Fre player discipline is the fact that T14 refs are so utterly sh*te.

As I said, genuinely stupid team. Why would they try and hold the ball in that scrum.
