[ikvat]

Under presure, that english team quickly looks like a duck without head

I can't remember who needs what in order to come second in this pool, but I'm hazarding a guess that japan and Argentina aren't appreciating this showing from England....

I dont think they care tbh. Its winner takes all in that match regardless.

I think it needs a draw from the Japan/Argentina, so don't think it'd make much difference to the way they'd play

Wordsalad from Wilkinson

If I tell the truth I get shouted down lol

Would you describe the biggest dog turd you'd ever seen, outside de your front door, as ordinary?

QQ- Was Elliot Daly injured this week? Staggered May keeps his place (switches to left wing) with Marchant pushed to the other wing.

It's hard listening to Woodward and co talking around the issue, trying not to criticise...

I'd call that impressive

Samoa need a bonus point win, and Japan and Argentina need to draw their game. Although if they both score 4 tries I think Argentina still qualify.

Just looked at the score after reading this thread. I know you guys were saying we were **** but I didn't see we were loosing.

Man all those people saying England turned the corner and Farrell is brilliant looking like stable geniuses now.

FTFY

Nothing from this makes me think we avege the fiji loss come KO rounds. Quarter finals is such a no mans land, not a great omen for the future but enough to keep borthwick for the cycle. Should gaurentee Sweeney being gone but we all know thats no happening.

Hopefully this is just a bad day/lack of concentration knowing the job is done.

 

[IT157]

Well, in 2003 we were down to Samoa at half time as well....

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

As far as I'm aware, it doesn't need to hit his hand last
If it hits his hand and goes forward, then the only way to not be a knock on is if he recovers the ball before it touches anything else.

from the angles on the international feed it looked like the ball was on the samoan hand when itoje swatted it back. did the UK feed show it hitting his arm, going forward, and then hitting itoje.

Crikey who on earth described OF as brilliant? I saw some nonsense in the press but nothing among the England fan base. We're mad, but we're not that mad!

Personally the story has been more the whole group is not good and havent really made me think we are suddenly good. But as long as england win I dont really care about the narrative, we can worry about the future in January.

No, it showed the ball in contact with his hand and an england arm before being swatted.

I said he was one of England's greatest players. I stick by that sentiment. Being down at Samoa at half time doesn't change that.
