vinnyt77 England have admittedly got a bit better this half but still kicking away far too much possession
alistair The try off Marler’s head was sensational.
alistair Much better in second half. Ford > Farrell IMO. Though I have a feeling Farrell will be back for Chile / Samoa, score a hatful, and start in the ¼ final.
vinnyt77 one for the history books!
None of what England are doing is gonna keep Farrell, Erasmus etc up at night - but they’re playing with grit. I’ll take that for now….
Rare frisson of excitement every time Marcus Smith gets ball in hand
alistair This might be where we differ. I’ll take the result every single time. I love watching Smith, when he’s not playing in a team that I want to win.
vinnyt77 I wouldn’t start him in this tournament but he’s a devastating runner in midfield when the game is stretched
Workmanlike, but efficient. Actually starting to believe I might see England play when I’m in Marseille in a few weeks.
alistair
Yeah, same same. I wouldn’t have Farrell in the 23. Smith on at 60 mins.
Watched the first half and then went to bed.
We are absolutely awful to watch.
Smallman1 went to bed. We are absolutely awful to watch.

Surprised you still let Darren watch?
Check your inbox chief!
Smallman1 Still nothing, is your wand malfunctioning?
Not a euphemism
Second half improved. Tell you what though, I rather liked watching Fiji beat the Aussies
benson really good game be funny on Jones if they go out in the groups!
French massacre. 14 tries. 😅
First game I’ve had a chance to watch so far,fuck me this is brutal.Cracking game they just batter each other and get up and get on with it. Shows footballers up for the complete twats that they are .
mrrossi Brutal game. Before the game, I had South Africa winning a tight game by seven or so points. Ireland have soaked it up brilliantly so far though…
mrrossi a match like this is a truly rare breed though.
mrrossi Yeah, no whinging at the ref either.
