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

[IT157]

Who had England going further than Ireland on their RWC bingo cards?

Me!!!

 

[SG59_]

Well done to Fiji. They really tried to get back into this but just fell short. Good luck to England going forward.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I feel bad for Fiji. A semi would have meant a lot to them and we're screwed anyway.

 

[IT157]

More relief in the end. Although I wouldn't have been upset losing tbh

 

[Reiser99]

England to limp into quarters and set up a rematch with Fiji...probably scrape a win there too and somehow everyone will be convinced everything is fine before losing to France or South Africa in an embarrassing defeat.

2 from 2.

 

[TommiG88]

Englands tactics in the 2nd half was negative and it nearly cost us

 

[Yulia]

Well...so-so match to be honest. For me it was obvious that Eng wins it,but the second half brought some small intrigue at least.

 

[Jimbo]

That's two YCs missed. George should have been in the bin around 65 mins for a trip.

Anyhoo, congrats England.

Have to keep an eye out for footage of that, didn't see it live.

 

[AlRums]

Your constant anti England vibe is tiresome

If speaking the truth is tiresome then tough

Fiji choked a bit after getting level, going for hollywood to early and giving up the 6 points. Think that should of been a yellow on farrel but dont think it would of mattered, englands defense looked dialed for that last set and fiji werevery narrow.

Interesting first half, boring first bit of the second, then got very interesting.

Still not much hope as an england fan. But maybe Steve has a plan and will **** house his way to a WC.

If speaking the truth is tiresome then tough

your opinion is now the truth?

 

[Booboobang]

I stand by this 1000%

Agree, him or earls.

Woodward "We won't be intimidated by France or South Africa"

I'm in favour of optimism but the staggering levels of delusion by this prat is really annoying, he talks such ********.

 

[die_mole]

was really hoping to see an island nation that is a former British colony make their first semi-final. Sadly it just wasn't to be.

 

[Saintjay]

Three games into the quaters, highest points scorers and undefeated. If France lose tonight we are the moral world champions and should just go home.

 

[Grizwald]

Don't feel like a win that

Feels like it. Felt like England were doing everything they could to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

England didn't turn the screw when they were well on top and tended to come up with the classic coach killers scoring then coughing up possession and points.

Anyhow France and the Saffers will be ******** themselves......

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

What am I missing?

The reasoning for not ycarding Farrell was nothing short of ludicrous. The ball was going in the direction of the Fijean player and Farrell diverted such direction.
As far as I understand, whether the pass would have reached the hands of the Fijian player without touching the ground first is irrelevant. I want to know which law considers this exception the refs is making use of.

 

[Which Tyler]

No yellow card for Farrell?

Why should it be?
Isn't that decided on "did the knock on stop a significant line break"?

Is there something in there about being idiocy / cynicism?
