RWC: England v Tonga (Pool C)

Bones

Is this the time for the English scribes to make comments about hard tackling head hunters taking out star players?
If anyone is going to get taken out are nominations open?

Care and Brown to do a van Zyl on Jones.

So Eddie was bluffing when he said he'd changed his mind about getting his top side out for this

England lots to little.

Bloodbath.

I had the English ITV commentary on last night during the AB game.

Funny hearing the English commentators trying to hype up Tonga - conveniently neglecting they had 90 points put on them a few weeks ago.

Unfortunately can only see this, hopefully Tonga don't roll over and at least make it physically competitive.

Chris

Come on Tonga big hits all night please

Frank

I'd hate to see Owen Farrell shoulder charged.

If England get less than a 92-7 win it's a failure, right?

Bones

Classic. English commentator summoning the ignorant ghost of yesteryear. Billy born in Tonga apparently.

I consider it a failure by Tonga if they don’t hurt at least 2 poms

Christ I forget how big Tameifuna is!
Reckon there might be some sumo scouts in the crowd looking to give him a call?

mariner4life

England making some big tackles. Like Ireland, very strong and very accurate in the tackle

Chris

There we fucking go first big hit

MiketheSnow

Yessssss

Yessssss

Classic pom commentator now trying to call into question the legality of the tackle.

Rapido

Ha ha, jeez at no point did I think Takalua would actually slot that. Eccentric routine, but it works.

Chris

Good from Tonga

Bones

"brilliant defensive work from the islanders" 😂

Is this Harrison?

England have missed some chances to go wide. Not sure why. Tongans are not great one on one tacklers.
