You know what ****** me off? The use of the word "literally".

"He literally did it under the referee's nose"

No. Just, no. He was not literally under his nose.

............... I mean... Good for Fiji but that's ****ing soft...... Come on, the TMO is running this game. The touchy was right there...

We've got a TMO who wants to be in the spotlight, some of these stopages have been needless and needlessly long!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Scrum ****e again.

Where is wilson? Did he even feature in the warmups?
Back when cole was injured people were (rightly) questioning whether cole would even get the 3 shirt back from wilson, now he can't get a game over two guys who (apparently) can't scrum.

 

[Tony Manx]

Jeez what a load of rubbish and I am giving up Gogglebox for this! Good news, I can get it on +1.......!

 

[ncurd]

Fiji severely tiring they're going to break soon...

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

According to the Dutch commentators England needs to use the speed of Launchbury...

 

[Tony Manx]

Come on Fiji!!!

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

He's explaining now what a turn-over is <_<

 

[ncurd]

Fazlet and Burgess can't argue with that.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Burgess looks more up for this than the other 22 in our side combined.
Hopefully he makes an impact

Just keep telling yourself 41 games to go

 

[Brabander]

The kicking of Fiji is awful. Why not kicking for the corner. The line-out is going well and making territory goes pretty well too.

Thoughts after the 60th minute

Our breakdown and attacking patterns simply aren't good enough to build any continuity. Only time we did so was when the forwards basically picked and went, and then it broke down when they started letting Wigglesworth touch the ball. Always a mistake.

I really love Joe Launchbury.

If Fiji could kick, we'd be in a really tight match.

The Fijian 10 has had to jump a lot to take passes.

Why would you take off your loosehead after he's finally getting the upper hand?

 

[Tony Manx]

Ridiculous over reaction with so many subs! This is suicidal!!

 

[big ginger 8]

Pocock is licking his lips at the English rucking.

 

[Jaguares]

Go Fiji Go!

 

[TheSaffycen]

How the he'll are we going to survive Wales and Australia if Fiji are turning us over at will.

I no longer have the desire to mute my girlfriend. I want to mute this idiot on tv!

 

[Tony Manx]

Ridiculous game plan to run everything! Get back to English basics and play it tight for at least the first 40! This run everything from the start is crackers and seriously under rates an average opposition!

 

[Tony Manx]

Sorry for double post!

Anyways, good try from Brown but what could have been!
