How did ref not see that live?

I'm hoping he just had word it was being looked at, so he could play on.

We all know if Botia had done that to Tuilagi - red all day.

Nice touch from Tom Curry to the Fiji player after that "tackle". No malicious intent.

Merchant scores England second try.

Here we go. Don't need to look, it's red.

Red card coming for Fiji.

Rugby is fucked when a blatant no arms tackle like that is not carded, yet Nuggie had 10 in the bin for ‘deliberately’ knocking the ball on with a fingertip.

I suspect this is going to be a blood bath, Fiji going to get smashed

England 15 Fiji 3

England look sharp. Mitchell with quick ball is a different player and some lovely long passes into midfield

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

Especially with the flag he plays under.

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.

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.

Fiji in need of a miracle.

Curry is a moron.

Surely at least a yellow this time.

Fiji in.

Shouldn't even be on the field.
