RWC QF: England v Fiji

[Damo]

Fiji tried hard but just not clinical enough. Better team won. At the end Fiji did not play with freedom and never looked like it.

[bayimports]

Well done Fiji, thought you were buried early for sure, but great come back. England march on

[sparky]

The North gets one back.

2-1 to the South with one to play.

[Tordah]

Only watched the 2nd half - Fiji comeback was great, but England superior in the forwards - set piece and rucks never looked safe for Fiji. Still, the winner of tonight's QF should be heavy favourties against a pretty average looking England team.

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.

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?

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.

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