Ooh that’s not deliberate

Oh come on Chilcs, that knock-on (I presume that's what you were referring to) was as deliberate as it can get.

Bit gutted actually - I'd far rather have seen Fiji lose an exciting semi final against the winners of this next one, than suffer England plod stodgily to an inevitable loss (plus Curry was really lucky not to get a yellow in the first half).

I love your description of England's much vaunted style of play - "Plod stodgily" It has been England's favoured style since I was a mere teenager in the early 70s!!!

This match must be up there as one of the three best games ever in the Rugby World Cup. The other two being NZ v South Africa in 2015 and again in the final NZ against Australia in the same tournament.
