    I despair the fact that we even had to have another look at that tackle

    Jesus you can moan. Is that where you've been, hanging out with Kearns?

    Yes

    What is the try-bonus point rule during the RWC? A bonus point for 4 tries, or for 3 tries more than the opponent? I wonder why England went for the penalty kick, instead of the line-out.

    Pretty sure it's the "old" rules. Bonus point for 4 tries, bonus point for losing by 7 or less.

    Awesome to see Nasi Manu take the field at the RWC after the year he's had.

    Understand that England need to get the bonus point but they'll learn nothing scoring by driving mauls against Tonga.

    Classic. English commentator summoning the ignorant ghost of yesteryear. Billy born in Tonga apparently.

    Just said he was Tonga raised. I've no major issue as he's one of theirs but he was born in Sydney and raised in Wales.

    Perhaps they should go back to driving mauls 😉

    It took them 76 minutes to score their bonus point try.

    Bonus points might be key in this pool. Can't see Argentina beating England but stranger things have happened.

    You can't read too much into this game, I suppose, but England's handling has been utter shite

    You know what, they really should. There's something 2011-ish about England's performance today - sloppy, petulant, churlish and entirely unconvincing against opposition they should beat easily. I still expect them to win this pool, but they might not do it completely unscathed. Similarly, if I was Aus or Wales, I would not be completely terrified of playing them in a QF.
