No man. The reason his legs stayed up, was because Tom Youngs was pushing through. Penalty only.
Thoughts after the first ten minutes
They're getting quick ball through the ten channel and will get it all day
There has been zero sympathy or sense in some of our decision making so far - wet ball, big occasion, but long loopy passes, bad passes, not a lot of movement in that lineout
England do not seem to be dealing well with the line speed
Very glad that was only a penalty for the lift, right call
Marler looks like he's splitting from Youngs in the scrum
Why would Ben Morgan pass to someone else when he can charge himself?
And penalty try, very nice.

Penalty try. I think we just witnessed something never happened before. The first try at the World Cup to be a penalty try.

Good start agree with Peat, we still need to up our line speed in defence personally but we are probably scared of getting caught too narrow.

No, he isn't. Peyper is lucky to even be at the World Cup. He's the SA version of Romain Poite.
It's a personal opinion you'll always see me argue if you take a player beyond the horizontal it's YC, RC for deliberate or extremely dangerous play. I take the same attitude tonwards high tackles that are always above the shoulder. I know that isn't technically correct.

TMO needs to get ****ed.
yup agree I may disagree with tip decision but the pulled down maul yellow was insane. I'm not even convinced it was a penalty try as opposed to a regular one.
Thoughts after twenty minutes
Fiji have killed the yellow card very well so far
We are not creating space for our wingers. A few times now (particularly with the Watson chance right now) we've created a little space but its all too close to the touch line. We don't seem to have the hands/lines to make that overlap properly.
Oh and another try. I might have to come up this style of posting my thoughts, seems to be lucky.

Well, here's my point of view on the matter.
- Lifting the legs passed the horizontal: penalty only
- Dropping the player or not putting him down on the ground properly: yellow card
- Driving him into the ground: red card
Drew away side were even in the away dressing room. Not quite sure why that's allowed to a host nation...
