RWC QF: England v Fiji
-
And they’re off…..
-
Anyone know the reasoning behind red in the Fiji strip?
-
Raynal straight into his work. Lawes clearly on his own feet levitating horizontally a millimetre above the players lying on the ground.
-
Stuck on a bus in rural Wales with too weak a signal to watch live
Got the radio at least
Radio 5 Live
Abysmal
Two toffs and Matt Dawson
Orgasming every time England has the ball -
They have looked way better to be fair so far
-
Fucking hell, Raynal plays a two second advantage before awarding the penalty, with Fiji looking to spread it wide.
-
Curry is a moron.
-
How did ref not see that live?
I would be looking at YC here. Those tackles can break kneecaps.
-
Lucky not to see yellow, I guess he tucked the shoulder under, which probably saved him.
-
@MiketheSnow Yep, the Toffs are terrible.
-
Fiji 3 England 8

I'm hoping he just had word it was being looked at, so he could play on.
-
We all know if Botia had done that to Tuilagi - red all day.
-
Nice touch from Tom Curry to the Fiji player after that "tackle". No malicious intent.
-
Merchant scores England second try.
-
Here we go. Don't need to look, it's red.
-
Red card coming for Fiji.
-
Rugby is fucked when a blatant no arms tackle like that is not carded, yet Nuggie had 10 in the bin for ‘deliberately’ knocking the ball on with a fingertip.
-
I suspect this is going to be a blood bath, Fiji going to get smashed
-
England 15 Fiji 3
-
England look sharp. Mitchell with quick ball is a different player and some lovely long passes into midfield
-
Clearly accidental but also clearly head contact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets upgraded to red. Not much mitigation

Especially with the flag he plays under.
-
Why no advantage again?
-
Fiji with a shot at goal.
Missed.

We don't give advantage to "tier two". They should have no advantage over the opposition.

I think the mitigation is that the English player stopped suddenly. Fijian was just coming across and wasn't expecting to tackle right there.
Could go either way.
-
Fiji in need of a miracle.
-
Curry is a moron.
Surely at least a yellow this time.
-
Fiji in.
-
Shouldn't even be on the field.
-
Please God don't let us sleep on England in this tournament - this will be a cakewalk and then they'll crawl over a beaten up France or Boks next week
-
1-3 off the boot, could be a different game if they could kick.
-
England 15 Fiji 10.

They kick the penalty, they're back in their own half, struggling to get out.

They’re going to be fresh for sure
-
The Yellow card will stay a yellow card.

It ain’t won yet

Itoje having a good game.
