Been a great WC
-
Lawes, Itoje and Earl were massive for England.

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.

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

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

@bayimports then England have zero chance.

If France win tonight, the second Semi Final will be England Vs France on the 218th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.
-
Far out after barely scraping past Samoa and Fiji, England are now expected to go all the way?

Holy fucking shit.
Comms pull the old "south sea islanders".
Now they get it
I didn’t know that was an insult.
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.

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

Imagine my surprise upon relocating to England when as a kiwi we shorten everything and I was innocently referring to Pakistanis as Pakis.

I used to play rugby against an Aussie team called London Colonials.
