Should have been a penalty try

(just kidding)

Fijian lineout.

This shit is rigged.

Fuck these fluffybunny refs

England win a penalty.

England will win and will make the Semi Finals.

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

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

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

Farrell is such a fluffybunny

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

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

The North gets one back.

2-1 to the South with one to play.

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.

That's exactly like Smith's

Worse

England rugby fans are singing Hey Jude.

I thought he played soccer.

Pathetic refereeing

Been a great WC

Lawes, Itoje and Earl were massive for England.

All three wearing Richie McCaw’s Invisibility Cloak

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

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.

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.

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.

@bayimports then England have zero chance.

If France win tonight, the second Semi Final will be England Vs France on the 218th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.

Far out after barely scraping past Samoa and Fiji, England are now expected to go all the way?

Really? I still remember my ex's families embarrassment when her geriatric grandfather called me a colonial. I had a laugh but many probably wouldn't. Same thing. Jingoistic slang from the early to mid 1900's.

Colonial clearly an insult, didn’t know that South Sea Islander was. Not sure I’ve ever used it but wouldn’t sweat to that, certainly won’t now

Imagine my surprise upon relocating to England when as a kiwi we shorten everything and I was innocently referring to Pakistanis as Pakis.

I'd expect a commentator to know that. Why the fuck would you call them south sea islanders instead of Pacific islanders anyway?

I used to play rugby against an Aussie team called London Colonials.

Get Fiji into the Rugby Championship, not in 5 years , not in 3 years but next year..make it happen

Phew! That game put me through the wringer. Hard lines for Fiji. I thought they were going to do it at the death.
The Borth roll on. Resistance is futile,

Here we go, they all come out of the woodwork when the south sea islanders get a bit too uppity.
