Why no advantage again?

Fiji with a shot at goal.

Missed.

We don't give advantage to "tier two". They should have no advantage over the opposition.

@bayimports said in RWC QF: England v Fiji:

Clearly accidental but also clearly head contact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets upgraded to red. Not much mitigation

I think the mitigation is that the English player stopped suddenly. Fijian was just coming across and wasn't expecting to tackle right there.

Could go either way.

sparky

Fiji in need of a miracle.

Bones

Curry is a moron.

Surely at least a yellow this time.

Bones

Shouldn't even be on the field.

Please God don't let us sleep on England in this tournament - this will be a cakewalk and then they'll crawl over a beaten up France or Boks next week

1-3 off the boot, could be a different game if they could kick.

They kick the penalty, they're back in their own half, struggling to get out.

They’re going to be fresh for sure

The Yellow card will stay a yellow card.

Well called

MiketheSnow

It ain’t won yet

sparky

Itoje having a good game.

Bones

So Curry can keep fouling as long as it's not deemed a card offence. High tackle and no arms so far.

bayimports

Fiji starting to muscle up, love it

sparky

Scrum penalty. England with a shot at goal.

Over. 18-10.

sparky

Fiji are back to 15 players.

sparky

Jamie George is a great servant of English Rugby. Very solid. Does the job without fuss.

sparky

England with another kickable penalty.

sparky

Farrell with the kick. Over.

England have an 11 point lead.

sparky

A long way back for Fiji now.

Damo

Fiji needed to score from that chance. I fear for them in the second half.

sparky

Half time. England fans can starting booking hotels in Paris for next weekend.

Don't think I can watch any more of Ben Earl celebrating every little thing like he's won the RWC without punching the TV. 🙄

What an absolute bell end!

sparky

Fiji need to score first after half time or this could get ugly.

Bones

Jesus. Another fucking high tackle from Farrell 🤦

Bones

@MiketheSnow said in RWC QF: England v Fiji:

And?

You not been watching the rest of this game or the world cup? Unpunished. Not even a penalty.

Now Farrell is blowing up about someone being slapped 🤣

MiketheSnow

On a bus
No pictures
Relying on you boys

sparky

Owen Farrell is much less likeable than Andy Farrell.

Bones

I think the problem with home nations sides is they think you have to select an A grade cock at ten.
