Why the fuck would you have two matches on at the same time?

Dolts

[Stargazer]

@MiketheSnow Yeah, that will happen several times during this tournament, unfortunately.

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant try by England then Irish respond with a cracker of their own.

[MiketheSnow]

Great match

[Stargazer]

Red card?

Edit: yes, green 13 sent off.

[OomPB]

Lots of OomPB sweat, tears and footsteps around that rugby field at Gim. Stayed just a block from Gim.

[Stargazer]

There was no stream of the Argentina v Italy game on YouTube, but I found the highlights.

[KiwiMurph]

Aus vs Fiji going down to the wire.

Fiji lead by 1 against 14 man Aus with 13 to play

South Africa v Georgia livestream:

[KiwiMurph]

Class from a 14 man Aus who come home strong.

46-37 Aus win over Fiji.

[Stargazer]

Going by the comments on Twitter, Isaiah Ravula-Armstrong had an excellent game for Fiji.

Day 1 results:

Presumably the Eng v Ire draw will ensure both go through to top 4, assuming others in their pool aren't top threats?

[Stargazer]

I can't find any match stats for the U20s games. World Rugby only produces empty pages in their match centre. Are there stats anywhere else? I've already checked ESPN. Nada.

Only the rugby.com.au website has some, but they don't include player stats.

@Rapido Australia and Fiji are the other teams.

@Stargazer I wonder if they might be working on adding some more information in the match centre - I used to get an empty page too, but now I get transported to an U20 game from 2009.

So almost an improvement, I guess

[Stargazer]

@bobily2 Yeah, it looks like they're working on it.

That same screen has now changed into Italy v South Africa.
