That's exactly like Smith's

Worse

[sparky]

England rugby fans are singing Hey Jude.

I thought he played soccer.

@Bones said in RWC QF: England v Fiji:

Good grief. At least you could actually see a player in space for that one, instead of a guy in half a gap with defenders either side

Pathetic refereeing

[BerniesCorner]

Been a great WC

[sparky]

Lawes, Itoje and Earl were massive for England.

All three wearing Richie McCaw’s Invisibility Cloak

[Bones]

Well done England. Did enough, that's all you need.

[Dodge]

Earl was brilliant. A 15 minute heart attack at the end but did enough. Will be tough to recover in 6 days to play an even more physical game next week.

Still in it. Still alive

Ref will be Reynal or Peyper most likely. If so you're well in it against a side that will have just played their final.

[sparky]

England forwards are very, very good. They are going to be a hard team for anyone to beat in this tournament.

Fiji almost beat them, they might scrape through next week but no chance in the final.

[Dodge]

France and England currently the only unbeaten sides in this tournament…

Peyper has to get over his calf injury., perhaps BOK?

@Bones said in RWC QF: England v Fiji:

Holy fucking shit.

Comms pull the old "south sea islanders".

Now they get it

I didn’t know that was an insult.

[Bones]

@bayimports then England have zero chance.

[sparky]

If France win tonight, the second Semi Final will be England Vs France on the 218th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.

[African Monkey]

Far out after barely scraping past Samoa and Fiji, England are now expected to go all the way?

Really? I still remember my ex's families embarrassment when her geriatric grandfather called me a colonial. I had a laugh but many probably wouldn't. Same thing. Jingoistic slang from the early to mid 1900's.

[sparky]

And a group of England fans dressed as 19th century naval officers got chucked out of the stadium for fighting.

Colonial clearly an insult, didn’t know that South Sea Islander was. Not sure I’ve ever used it but wouldn’t sweat to that, certainly won’t now
