'13 WC | Group A | England 34-12 Fiji | KC, Hull

[axl rose]

So are Fiji playing better today or are England just THAT bad, can't watch the game at work..

Just a good match, Fiji very energetic in defence.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

What happened to the attacker rule???

 

[user_nat]

I thought you could tackle in the air in that situation..

 

[ByRd]

When did that rule change??

 

[Fufu Andronez]

f**k that's very harsh on Fiji.

 

[tumbidragon]

Good TRY. Has the giant been awoken?

 

[Brutus]

The thug scores.

 

[Springs]

So are Fiji playing better today or are England just THAT bad, can't watch the game at work. I still hate Englands halves pairing, i just don't see how that's expected to work at this level. They really are completely reliant on their pack.

England dominating possession and territory but their halves letting them down on the line. But Sinfield just set up a try.

Tackle in the air rule is atrocious.

 

[natheel]

They had to even of up

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Good play from Sinfield, but Fiji look composed and on top. England are looking frustrated.

 

[Son of Minto]

What the f**k happened to Westwoods head?

 

[tumbidragon]

True but was a blessing it didn't go through, Widdop and Williams will be a mint combo.

No arguments here mate. Prob helped us secure THEDuges as well.

 

[Springs]

When did that rule change??

It's been in the International rules for a while. It's the NRL rule that's different.

 

[Bovrick]

Sinfield taking on the line??? That's new.

England are relying on some pretty borderline decisions so far!

 

[Rosetta]

Refereeing keeping England close.

 

[Paullyboy]

Great first half

 

[tumbidragon]

Tyrion Lanister playing dummy half for England?

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Whenever they mention a burgess in the commentary I always repeat it in my head in beau Ryan's alter egos voice

 

[fourplay]

That is the stupidest rule. Whoever decided that would be a good rule is an idiot.

Was it brought in as a knee jerk reaction after Sisa Waqa's bad landing?

 

[Skreepe]

Such a poorly refereed game.

Australian refs are the lowest quality in the whole comp.

England are taking off a second early every defensive set.
