Rugby World Cup

[Old_Laytonian]

My uncle lives in NZ and has spent time in Fiji. Come on Fiji

 

[seasidelytham]

Time Smith came off….becoming a liability

 

[Ollygon]

Come on

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Needed that. Get Smith off

 

[seasidelytham]

Needed that. Get Smith off

Agreed….somewhat of a lightweight in this contest

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Thank feck for Farrell.

 

[Ollygon]

This is nerve wracking.

 

[seasidelytham]

Thank feck for Farrell.

Cool head

 

[seasidelytham]

Can’t afford to concede a try now with only 5 minutes left.No time to come back.

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Get in, what a run!

 

[seasidelytham]

Phew ….massive from Earle

 

[seasidelytham]

Ha ha brilliant from Farrell delaying the penalty kick and watching the “shot clock”

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

Too good for Wales.

And?

 

[seasidelytham]

Still a very nervous last minute

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

We earned an easier group by reaching the final 4yrs ago. Whether that is too early to do the seedings is another argument. I think most expected us to be lining up against Australia or Wales today, the fact Fiji got through in 2nd is hardly our fault either.

South Africa won it and got a tougher draw

 

[Matesrates]

Down to the forwards now

 

[Old_Laytonian]

My uncle lives in NZ and has spent time in Fiji. Come on Fiji

I never really liked my uncle

 

[Ollygon]

Yes

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Get in!

 

[Ollygon]

Bloody hell, that was tight.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Jesus that was too close for comfort.

 

[glasshalffull]

Phew! Fiji will be ruing those missed penalties though!

 

[Matesrates]

What a difference, England players consoling Fiji players at the end. Sportsmanship at its best.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Phew! Fiji will be ruing those missed penalties though!

Exactly 3 easy ones in the first half.

 

[NewburyOne]

England had to win that twice, every credit to Fiji though they gave absolutely everything. Nice to see one northern hemisphere team in the semi's, I'm sure the whole of Ireland, Wales and Scotland will be behind us next week.

 

[bill40]

It was never in doubt that we would win, now excuse me while I change my underpants.

 

[Macseasider]

Great game to watch. Feel for Fiji but they did concede way too many penalties.

Will be a real challenge next Saturday against France or the Saffers.

 

[Meliora]

South Africa won it and got a tougher draw

That's because France were shite when the draw was made, and then they beat NZ when it comes to it.

 

[Meliora]

Fiji have made their case to be in the regular southern hemisphere series. We let Italy in, the southerners should include Fiji.

 

[Wizaard]

It's knockout time. You beat those in front of you, regardless of the draw.

England won, Wales and Ireland didn't but no doubt are online now buying England shirts to wear while cheering us on.

 

[OneStepBeyond]

An Irishman, Scotsman and Welshman go to the pub. The Englishman didn't go because he was still at the World Cup!!!

 

[Ollygon]

Good interview with Owen.

Now that's a proper Lancy accent.

That'll Be The Day, as Buddy said.

 

[Ollygon]

Just remembered. Fiji are the reigning Olympic champions, albeit for the
7 a side version.

 

[Matesrates]

Now who do we want in the semifinal, France or South Africa, both will be massively difficult, but on balance, I’d rather have South Africa, don’t want France in front of their home crowd.

 

[Matesrates]

Steve Borthwick isn’t an olly in interviews.

 

[Trademark]

Nope rather get france but think south africa will be lifting the trophy in a couple of weeks.

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

What a start

 

[Seasidestevo71]

Wow what a start

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

2 lightning quick tries already in this this game and just 8 minutes gone 7-7.

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Nope rather get france but think south africa will be lifting the trophy in a couple of weeks.

What a flying start by France!
Oops! 7-7

 

[Macseasider]

The ref has had an absolute shocker there. Ball went forward my arse. Think it may have been a 2nd knock on for the try too.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Wow South Africa are so quick on the break out 7-12.

 

[Burnnazzer]

This is amazing rugby

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Wow France over now this is a lightning quick game that’s 4 tries now in the first 21 minutes.

Conversion charged down don’t often see that.

 

[tangerine_neil]

Terrific match up this

 

[Towerpower99]

It’s like a game of 7s…

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Just unbelievable rugby this South Africa in again.

 

[This is Ska]

One of the greatest games ever if this continues

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

This is giving me heart failure!
