[RWC2023 QF3] England vs Fiji (15/10/2023)

[Saintjay]

Her life flashed before her eyes then

Where there's blame there's a claim. I'd be onto injury lawyers 4 u.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Didn't realise Jamie George was that rotund.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

English turnover ball in a very Fijian way.

 

[Booboobang]

Lewis Chessum at 20 has lots of potential he's taller and heavier than his brother. Looked very good in the U20s world cup.

For sure, there a ton of younger guys with potential, I was more meaning out of those established in senior rugby so far.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

How was that line out given as straight?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Smith has been taking a battering

 

[Reiser99]

The fact that we're discussing u20s players in this thread says it all. Game has gone a bit flat. Not the best quality and not close in score either.

Feels like there are a lot of mid weight locks about, could do with a couple of bigger tight head locks to help in the scrum and do the dirty stuff.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Amongst the many things for world rugby to sort out, lineouts never being straight is definitely one of them even if not the most pressing. Feels like an easy change to make

I've never been less nervous watching England in a knockout game.

Fidji, ils s'appellent Fidji, un equipe pas comme les autres.

Hahaha)))I was literally singing this in my head while reading,on the "Je m'appelle Hélène" melody)))

Sadly alwaysnthe most likely result of this match.

Yup.

First half was a good watch, this is not.

 

[Scotty]

Still should know what is likely to give a penalty away, rust or not.

I agree you know but its like saying Faz knows how to tackle legally...he still likes to throw in the odd shoulder to the face haha.

In all seriousness at this level its small margins that give away penalties and 10% off because of being abit 'rusty' can make all the difference to any player.

 

[saulan]

Lol comical on that throw in decision

 

[Rinkadink]

Smith has been taking a battering

I don't think the trade off has been worth it either, as it stands.

 

[Grizwald]

Itoje is having a sack-a-thon.

Not seen many sacks.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

We've gone OK but, unsurprisingly, this looks like a game too far for Fiji.

We could also have "Josua Sourit" and a new version of "J'irai ou tu iras".

Ford/Lawrence for Faz Manu at 60?
