Hurray!, all sorts of shite from England. :fp:

Samoa robbed so far.

Can’t wait for when we have to face ‘decent’ opposition.

Alu Samoa!

Faletau out for the rest of the tournament. :fp:

This is just laughable from England.

Lmao at giving away 3 points to a timer.

Damn. Thought Samoa might get a try right at the end there! Gutted for them.

Fair play to Danny Care.

My list of England players who deserve to start in QF:

Danny Care.

Er, that’s it.

He was chuffing lucky he didn’t do it earlier in the game too. Must have hit it dead on zero. Why? What is to be gained from trying to go as close to the wire as you can??

Looking forward to Scotland Ireland now and a couple of the games tomorrow. (Fiji vs Portugal and Japan vs Argentina.)

Northern Hemisphere teams topping all 4 pools with 4 wins from 4. Madness.

Devastated.

We have no depth whatsoever and coming out of the group stage with a few crucial injuries is going to have a big impact.

It is a huge miss but back row is probably our best area in terms of depth to be fair. I expect Wainwright will move to 8 and Reffell will come into the starting lineup.

True, its more fly half and Anscombe I'm most worried about.

Argentina vs Japan. Very entertaining so far.

Correction. This is a great match.

FFS, I thought it kicked off at 2pm :fp:

I've had all the games set to record so will have to catch up with the first half at some point.

That drop goal! :wub:

Great battle here. 1 of the games of the tournament.

PostRe: Rugby Union Thread by **Knoyleo** » Sun Oct 08, 2023 1:41 pm

Yeah this is amazing, especially as a neutral.

Love this Argentina alternative kit, too.
