Suggestion that I would support England over Samoa is peak unhinged.

I just don’t get the fuck England etc as that seems pathetic.

But New Zealand hasn't known how to play to the ref for years so how can we appreciate it done so well by another team?!

Maybe I'm not pommy enough to notice all the fuck England stuff.... isn't it more fuck the ref? There is some other posters that get sensitive about the crusaders like that too eh

TBH, this place has always been fuck England (and rightly so), why would now be any different?

Yeah could be the first case of Stockholm syndrome on the fern

I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate, there seems to be a lot of AFL "fans" in this place ...

Extra points if an English ref:

We were out last night and didn’t get to see the game and won’t bother today. The outcome was just so predictable. We are a shit show under Borthwick.

Fucking robbed
Hate that shit

Welcome to the party! Where were you 3 or 4 weeks ago?

I was here

Commented on how much Carley missed for both sides; how Fiji still had the chance to win but blew it; and how Carley should be sent home

It’s all there in black & white

You surprised me with your restraint. A lesser poster might have looked at that Getty image and remarked "Boy, Tintin has really let himself go, hasn't he?"

Good on them

@Bones said in RWC Week 5: England v Samoa:

Oh fuck off. No clear and obvious knock on. Fuck this shit

Watching it back now.

This is a picture of a man about to be fucked up the arse by his TMO, and knows there is no lube left ...

Had there been no TMO there would have been no complaints. Progress?

Anyone seen a clip of Samoan yellow card? Heard Faz was complaining about a tackle with the shoulder.

Lol that would be funny. I'll let you know once I get there

Gotta say, that disallowed try was controversial but Sopoaga has missed important kicks for touch, which aren't helping.

Farrell was taken off the ball around 56 minutes but no angle showing head contact

Sopoaga having a pretty ordinary game. 63 minutes in and he should have been yanked at 50.

OMG that's a nothing penalty for "off the ball" at 63:01. Fuck me the TMO in this match is as bad as Jonker

Oh right that's the one where Farrell exceeds the shot clock

And stupid from Samoa 13 taking Farrell in the air. He's also made some very ordinary decisions this game

Poor decision from Samoa to pack their 23 on the flank. Gave Care a free run in. Should have scrummed with 7 in the scrum and a full back line

Sopoaga drops it, and probably the game

And 20 drops the game again with the line in sight

I can not believe the TMO came in after the conversion attempt to rule out that try when Itoje's hand is clearly on the ball.

If I was Mapusua I'd blow up deluxe. It's not even like England were arguing about it.
