RWC: England v Tonga (Pool C)

[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?

[hydro11]

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

[Chris]

There’s some real space out wide for Tonga if they move it to the fringes

[hydro11]

Tonga are diffusing the high balls well but their forwards are already feeling the pace (which hasn't been electric). They will get done here but are doing a good job so far.

Good work by Tonga to keep that up.

[Chris]

No try FFS

[Bones]

He was tackled and got up.

That second tackle is high though. Penalty try.

[Stargazer]

Great try saver. 22 minutes played and it's 3 all. Didn't expect that.

[mariner4life]

Good work to hold that up. Delaying the inevitable you would think

[Canerbry]

Shit finishing England, he had the ball over the line and fucked around.

[Chris]

Tuilagi Is a serious beast

[mofitzy_]

Wouldn't have picked it take England 25 minutes to get their first.

[Chris]

How the fuck is that a try

[hydro11]

If he saw it grounded, it will be a try. I still wonder when the ref saw it though.
