    I hope Jaco watches the offside line closer in two weeks time.

    Hartley saying England have lost because they’ve been 25% off the boil

    Fuck off

    Well beaten

    Thoroughly deserved win for Fiji

    And England could easily have had 2 YC, possibly a red

    Fantastic for Fiji. Beating England at Twickenham.

    England must be utterly devoid of confidence now.

    If I was a selector, Ludlam would never play for England again. How can the fluffybunny be that happy at losing?

    If I was the RFU, I’d sack Bothwick tonight. Bring the best available coach: Razor? Cotter? Cockrilll? Deans? Johnson? Woodward? And let them choose a new squad.

    England were abysmal.

    What a fucking bitch?

    She really thinks she’s asking insightful questions but it’s more like your form teacher at school giving you a row for forgetting your homework

    She’s absolutely horrible. A troll. I really wish the broadcasters would stop using her.

    I love the way all Hartley could say was watch out Wales

    If Wales lose it won’t be because we’re shit and couldn’t score in a brothel

    Accurate kicking
    Accurate line out
    Complete at every Fiji line out
    Good defensive line
    Take every point when it’s available

    Wales win

    Hartley must be one of the least insightful and most inane co-commentators around. When asked to analysed what was wrong with England at one stage, he replied ‘some of those players are my friends.’

    This could only have been bettered if Farrell and Billy were both playing and Eddie was still coaching

    Imagine that presser

    Firing Eddie looks at the moment like a terrible mistake by the RFU.

    I’d forgotten that when he was asked for his Man of the Match, Dylan Hartley waffled on about his mate Courtney Lawes for ages before getting around to any of the heroic Fijians. 🤣

    Feel a bit sorry for Lawes on his 100th cap, who I think always seemed one of the more likable England players, but what a great win for Fiji. Some sloppy handling errors aside, they had some great attacks and very good support play. England was just ugh.

    And Peyper can suck a dick with that England maul around 65 minutes or so, that was stationary for a good 15 seconds you fucktard.

    Said it before and I will say it again. Allowing so many foreign players to play in the domestic leagues (since the 80s) and you run the risk of being outfoxed, out thought and outplayed as England were today. They should have set caps/limits on foreign player numbers much earlier.

    Ach. A well deserved win go Fiji and well played. This Fijian side are no mugs, far from it. Good skills, athleticism as always but now with fitness, discipline and coaching.

    England started brightly but when put under possession pressure, went back into the dour, one out runners. So predictable and so easy to defend. Some weird substitutions. Not sure where
    Smith was supposed to be playing but it didn’t look like fullback. And subbing Mitchell, wtf for? To have yet another look at Care?

    As a team were are symmetrical. No shape in attack. No shape in defence.

    We are… bereft.
