Good spoil for England at that lineout. They have restored a bit of order here.

@Bones said in RWC QF: England v Fiji:

Holy fucking shit.

Comms pull the old "south sea islanders".

Now they get it

I hate that shit when they say it.

Damo

English scrum is not having an easy time of it surprisingly.

sparky

Poor kick by Care. Fiji with a lineout 30m out.

sparky

England have a penalty right in front.

bayimports

Surely penalty puts this to bed

sparky

Kick over. England 30 Fiji 24.

Fiji need a converted try. Two minutes left.

sparky

Only a minute left now.

sparky

Two seconds left. This will be the last play.

sparky

Fiji 25 metres out. Time up.

sparky

Fiji being forced back but they still have the ball.

sparky

Good defence by England.

Bones

That's exactly like Smith's

sparky

Knock on by Farrell. They checking to see whether it is deliberate.

sparky

Deliberate knock on. Penalty coming.

Gunner

This has to be a YC, if we’re using Smiths YC as the standard

Bones

If a Fijian had done that he'd be in the bin already

Victor Meldrew

Should have been a penalty try

(just kidding)

Gunner

This shit is rigged.

Fuck these fluffybunny refs

sparky

England will win and will make the Semi Finals.

Bones

Good grief. At least you could actually see a player in space for that one, instead of a guy in half a gap with defenders either side

sparky

All over. 30-24. The England boys look shattered.

Bones

6N refs know what side their bread is buttered. Barnes a clear odd one out.

Jailbreak7

Farrell is such a fluffybunny

sparky

Ref poor, but England on balance the better side so fair play to them.

Damo

Fiji tried hard but just not clinical enough. Better team won. At the end Fiji did not play with freedom and never looked like it.

bayimports

Well done Fiji, thought you were buried early for sure, but great come back. England march on

sparky

The North gets one back.

2-1 to the South with one to play.

Tordah

Only watched the 2nd half - Fiji comeback was great, but England superior in the forwards - set piece and rucks never looked safe for Fiji. Still, the winner of tonight's QF should be heavy favourties against a pretty average looking England team.
