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.

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.

England rugby fans are singing Hey Jude.

I thought he played soccer.

Pathetic refereeing

sparky

Lawes, Itoje and Earl were massive for England.

Bones

Well done England. Did enough, that's all you need.

Dodge

Earl was brilliant. A 15 minute heart attack at the end but did enough. Will be tough to recover in 6 days to play an even more physical game next week.

Still in it. Still alive

Ref will be Reynal or Peyper most likely. If so you're well in it against a side that will have just played their final.

sparky

England forwards are very, very good. They are going to be a hard team for anyone to beat in this tournament.

Fiji almost beat them, they might scrape through next week but no chance in the final.

Dodge

France and England currently the only unbeaten sides in this tournament…

Peyper has to get over his calf injury., perhaps BOK?

Holy fucking shit.

Comms pull the old "south sea islanders".

Now they get it

I didn’t know that was an insult.
