Scrappy 2nd half.

 

[Kosmik]

Essentially game over

Yep, just bonus point in question.

Fiji watched too many Bok games. All these Willie le Roux grubbers costing them possession.

England quite fortunate the weren't up against a stronger nation in their opener otherwise it would have been a loss for the home team.

One thing this game has shown me is that England is nothing special.

 

[Kosmik]

Oi! We playing rugby or handball?

A lot of it is nerves. Since they have run at the Fijians they have looked much better. I think they were a bit scared of contact in the first half.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Try. Excellent passage there by the English.

Do they keep saying Nandolo? I thought it was Nadolo?

Subtle product placement.

Pretty shoddy game from Eng.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Well done England, deserving game, and good use of the bench.

Fiji should now focus on Wales.

 

[Kosmik]

Final score

Eng 35 - 11 Fiji

Not a far reflection of the game though.

 

[Creag]

Drat! Without that last extremely fortuitous try, I was in with margin points

 

[Fulcrum29]

I wouldn't read too much into it.

I expected more in the first half than the England coach and media paraded. Good win in the end, 23-player win.

Yep.

 

[ShaunSA]

Well that was a cracker! Pity Fiji didn't manage to put a bit more on the score-board.

Not sure about that last try though...

 

[Kilgore_Trout_Redux]

I was very dissapointed with Barrit. Really looked like a deer in the headlights.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Yeah Peyper definitely giving the host nation leeway compared to the Fijians. But he's an arse of a ref so pretty much expected it.
