    This is what happens when you allow players to have heads on the ends of their necks. They cause a lot of problems. Heads should be stored up arses like the Rugby Authorities do.

    Ireland looking ominously good. 20 tries in 2 games is a fantastic start, and they are building momentum nicely for the Boks game next week. Their two wings, Lowe and Hansen, are both lightning quick, and Bondee Aki at 12 is a genius.

    This is great news. I am quite partial to Ireland winning the whole tournament as I have Irish blood running through me.

    England subscribe to the Nathan Jones philosophy of being way better after having a player sent off. Pretty average so far tonight.

    It’s like watching a Sam Allardyce team when the rest of the world is playing Pep.

    Sooner we get knocked out, the sooner we can openly start supporting Fiji (though frankly, I’m there already).

    I support everyone who isn’t France or Australia. Pretty easy life.

    England so, so poor. Gone from heroes last week to being booed this week.

    Everyone seems to be miserable but we are performing way above what I expected before the World Cup, set to win the group which I didn't see coming at all.

    Yeah I had no expectations and we are pretty crap. I just hoped we would be a bit more exciting.

    Who would have thought that playing 3 fly halves at the same time would improve creativity? England putting on a show in Marseilles against a half-decent Chile side.

    11 tries, 5 of them for wing Henry Arundell.

    71-0 at full time.
