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

[IT157]

Lawes manhandled. Don't see that too often

 

[Tooting Carmen]

What a push into touch!

 

[Booboobang]

Argentina confused the hell out of them.

The wales warm up as well.

 

[Jimbo]

Only ******* England allows a try against 14 men....FFS just as I was praising them.

To be fair that's the only time we score ordinarily.

 

[Saintjay]

I'm not worried for Fiji. It's a matter of time before Farrell tries to be billy big ******** and smashes someone's face in

Yet here you are being billy big xxxxxxxx. I know who my moneys on if you said that to him in person rather than from your basement.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Lawes completely man-shamed but absolutely no need for the afters from Mata.

Problem for Fiji is that England tend to play better with 14 recently.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

kind of impressive England twice ran into a double tackle while up a man

 

[AlRums]

That's how you show a player off the pitch

Or indeed 12, as proven with that pushover try against Wales at Twickers.

 

[Booboobang]

Great from chessum. Amazing how young he is, should be a staple for years.

 

[Rinkadink]

Fair I guess, I think the change of direction was a bit weak but can atleast see the logic.

Well the late change of direction was listed under tackle dynamics (where a second player comes in and changes direction of ball carrier) not for normal, sighted open play where a player merely steps. I'm not calling for a red but the mitigation should never have applied in this instance given how it's been reffed for years now.

I'm happy to see that given as a consistent yellow but world rugby are just changing on the fly.

 

[Scotty]

Curry has given away 4 penalties now by my count?

Issue is he just hasnt played, and hasnt had the chance to knock off the rust in the pool stages, he's still involved in everything.

 

[McTallshort]

Everything about Englands play looks confused

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Smile Jonny. Your team are winning.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Why does Johnny May never have a straight run on the outside? He's always stepping back inside and going on some odyssey infield which usually ends in a wedgie.

I guess Dalys passing rarely helps

 

[AlRums]

Clear obstruction by England from the kick-off

 

[IT157]

Great from chessum. Amazing how young he is, should be a staple for years.

He'll have a couple of bad games and there will be calls for him to be dropped for some flavour of the month in the premiership.

that's a tackle I'm fine being a red or a yellow but it honestly seems that there is no standard on what should be going on

"Johnny May runs sideways" klaxon.
