[Jimbo]

Really looking forward to this one, sole game I’m attending and with a football fan who obtained the tickets via his football season ticket, will try and concentrate, probably get a little side tracked from the game trying to explains decisions and rules.

Make him watch a YT video on the basics and then throw your hands up yelling 'I don't know' whenever there's a scrum decision during the game

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

so USA and Samoa play before this. Australia will know the target before hand it's going to be a somewhat funny watch.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

USA gets bonus point so now this game means something to Australia.

 

[Which Tyler]

Did she just say that England have never lost a RWC pool match?
Wow!

 

[9215.]

Yes, drew against Canada in 2014, won the rest

 

[Saintjay]

Looked a mile forward

 

[AlRums]

Good well worked try

 

[AlRums]

That looked well forward

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

That looked well forward

5m at least, but Oz are getting on the ref’s tits.

 

[AlRums]

I was about to say England getting away with the lot of offside

 

[Saintjay]

TMO clearly stuck in the beer tent que for England's first try then.

 

[AlRums]

Good clearance by Kidunne

 

[AlRums]

Another loss of control

That's the TMO needing to get his body armour on

 

[9215.]

That doesn’t look good for Botts, hope it’s a quick recovery, particularly given she was injured for the last final.

 

[Which Tyler]

Aus doing what they need to so far.
They'd rather make it an open game, and score their 4 tries, but if they can drag us into a dogfight, they'll take it

 

[AlRums]

Great 50-22

 

[Which Tyler]

What am I missing?
Scrum penalty to England for... there not being a scrum?
