Much rather play them than France in Paris TBH. It will be bloody difficult but I really didn't fancy England beating France in Paris.
It’s a tough call. Handre Pollard took England apart 4 years ago, and him and Libbok are likely to do it again.
I feel that French emotions got the better of them, Perhaps if they had played a cagey game they might have won. Bad luck France, well done SA!! Had France won, I feel England would have had a chance but SA are such a powerful side, bigger stronger and arguably more athletic than England that the only hope I see of an England win next week is inducing SA to commit a succession and winning via penalties. I suppose a NZ v South Africa final looks very tasty , should this be the outcome of the semi finals.
I had England to win their quarter. And they do have the best WC record of the 6 Nations teams, a good WC pedigree no matter how dire they are, so not really surprising that England are there.
England - the only undefeated team left in the tournament and the only group winners of the semi-finalists.
I think Curry was lucky, but Fiji could be deemed lucky to not get a card on Earl’s break and cynically killing the ball so they could sort their defence
Also, Curry himself was sent off for almost the exact thing the Fijian did yesterday. Down to the attacker moving their head last second- which was apparently ok for the Fijian but not for Curry.
The difference is inconsistency. Curry should have received a yellow just like the Fijian did yesterday
There was a late change of direction in both incidents. I agree inconsistent decisions are the issue.
