RWC QF: England v Fiji

[Bones]

Fucking hell, Raynal plays a two second advantage before awarding the penalty, with Fiji looking to spread it wide.

[Bones]

Curry is a moron.

[Damo]

How did ref not see that live?

I would be looking at YC here. Those tackles can break kneecaps.

[Bones]

Lucky not to see yellow, I guess he tucked the shoulder under, which probably saved him.

[sparky]

@MiketheSnow Yep, the Toffs are terrible.

Fiji 3 England 8

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

[Bones]

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

[Victor Meldrew]

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

[sparky]

Merchant scores England second try.

[Bones]

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

[sparky]

Red card coming for Fiji.

[Gunner]

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

[sparky]

England 15 Fiji 3

[Dodge]

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

[bayimports]

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.

[Damo]

Why no advantage again?

[sparky]

Fiji with a shot at goal.

Missed.
