Some nice big hits coming in from Fiji.

But they are terrible under the high ball. Expect England to kick even more.

Volavola seems scared. Way too afraid to take the ball into contact. He just passes immediately, without even taking a step forward.

No don't go and ruin the game with cards please

 

[APoc184]

Good call. Nothing in it.

Thank fsck they didn't.

I can understand wanting to send a strong message early on but there wasn't a card in that.

 

[APoc184]

Ag ***. Spoke to soon.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Bloody hell. Like a steam train.

England need to teach these mongrels a lesson. Nice.

Was almost worried that both teams were going to come out in white.

Were Fiji considered the 'home' team then and could choose their kit ?

I don't understand why but it happens quite often that the home team plays in their away kit when jersey colours might clash.

Remember the controversy last time? It was England and someone else.

The lineouts throw ins aren't very straight

 

[Fulcrum29]

Nothing special from England...

 

[Kosmik]

Dumb kick, up and under went wrong.

 

[Kosmik]

TMO for?

 

[Kosmik]

Ah 4 Fiji for shoulder barge, games a little rough.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Interesting to see the TMO initiating communication...

Dumb play by that guy though.

These commentators need to shut up when the TMO and ref are deliberating!

 

[Kilgore_Trout_Redux]

Yeah, the moment an opposition team starts getting the upper hand these Pacific Islanders start resorting to foul play.

Not sure if the world cup is the place to introduce it. Was it tested before hand?

Hopefully it won't lead to a lot of time wasting looking at trivial stuff.
