If we play like that again, we will lose. Saying that, I think we'll be better in the quarter, despite losing Toby, as long as Bigger plays. Then, with the best will in the world, there's very little chance of us winning a semi. Great campaign though, considering where we were up until recently.
Yep, Argies up next. Good game and not the result I wanted! Arg playing themselves into form. Wales will really need to be on it next week.
Nope, they're going out to Fiji. What an easy group that was, by comparison to the other three. And let's have a moment for poor Owen Farell.... kicked the penalty after the clock had run down
Gats will (obviously) pick the best available team - I guess as near as possible to the team that faced the Aussies, with Jac back to lead by example. Defend as a team, be decisive/incisive in attack, take our chances and we will win. Then hope that either the Micker or the Darkness get a couple sent off in the first half of the semi, and hey presto we’re in the Final
What a fantastic way to end the group games! Brilliant and well deserved Portugal. What reaction can England expect from Fiji? I've got a feeling they may be so wound up they get a red in that game. The quarters are going to be epic. @Taffvalerowdy - when do you fly out?
Friday late morning from Gatwick ….. in theory, seems that there are strikes in France on Friday, 1 in 4 flights to Marseilles may be cancelled
Typical At least the bed bugs will be plentiful, apparently Hope you have a great time whatever. And remember, beer cures all
