good first half.... think england are lucky not to get pinged for that last "taking out"..... that is way more dangerous than what the fijian got called for by the tmo earlier....
and yes... hate the itv commentary... so doing the 5 live instead.... |

Clue is in the name- 'world'.

Games gone a bit flat littered with errors.England need to try and rack up a score here because it could be important come the end of the group stages. |

Because he was a proper player,and seems a decent fellow.

Certainly a pleasing result, I just hope they can tidy their game up a bit and reduce the penalty count. Good start though.
I'm not confident that Brown will survive the whole tournament, he's going in so hard every time. I'll be surprised if he lasts three more games injury free. |

I did say that tongue in cheek(or to get a bite)
I would agree Fiji couldn't be classed as much of a minnow as Canada.But I'm not sure they are ranked 8th in the World either ? |

Totally enjoyed the game. England were damned lucky for the best part with the number of errors they made. Fiji were strong opposition. Going to the Samoa Japan game on the third. Samoa will win, but it's gonna be another strong game as Japan really put in the time since last world cup. Gonna be fun |

"Anyone got tickets to any of the games ?"
I've got every England game covered plus whatever route they take (if they qualify) up to, and including the final . I'm very lucky that I do it through work, because the prices are absolutely fucking ridiculous , and there's no way I could do it otherwise there no way I could do it.
Me and Mrs Bendy are also off to Scotland v Japan on Wednesday |

The score line looks pretty but much work to be done in the next 5 days.
11 turnovers are OK against the likes of Fiji. They won't get away with that against the Aussies and Wales.
Bonus point could come into play if things get squeaky bum at the end of the pool phase. |

Ok not a very good performance by England and some shocking decisions by the ref BUT all that said they done what needed to be done got the extra point which I think will be crucial at the end. Don't let this performance fool anyone first game nerves under a massive spot light . And I'm a Welsh supporter. |

Still hoping Wales make it out of the group stages but I think it's Engand and the Aussies going through. Losing Halfpenny has lost us 10 yards on penalties, I also don't think Warburton is fully fit.
England also raise their game at the World Cup, late nights game was a good result; a win (remember France v Argentina in 07) and no injuries against a punishing side. I can see England reaching the final if they avoid injuries; I only hope they don't win as they're still going on about Wilkinsons kick going over to take the tournament in 03 |

a lot of them play their club rugby in france as they don't count against overseas rules in the top 14....
fantastic..a lot of the 2nd tier nations are going to give the big boys fits for 60-65 minutes.... |

Yea I know about the roof policy - I just have a bee in my bonnet about the Welsh stadium. No other rwc stadium can close the roof. All the games should be played in the same conditions. Rugby is an outdoor sport .

What time do they kick off today? Ta |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I'm a Kiwi boy so I live this shit. Sundays game against Argentina at Wembley was intense!
I think Scotland will win today but I love an underdog story... Another Japan win would be cool.
I like how the opening weekend set up the Cup... Nothing is written in stone just yet. |

Same as Fiji.Would appear England not only have home advantage,but a rest period advantage also.

Theres home advantage and then there's taking the piss! I want to win but I want to win fair. Yes I know its about the odd number of teams in the pools and it balances out across the pool as a whole but there's also moving games for scheduling concerns |

ready for this afternoons double header...
the plucky japanese vs the plucky scots.....
followed by the plucky fijians vs the plucky.... erm... aussies!!!
japan have ruined this world cup betting wise for me.... I had this game circled as my "this is where i might be able to make some money bet"..... now the best price i can get on japan winning is 5/1!!! |

Great afternoon of rugby ahead, hoping Scotland can blow this pool wide open. Not only because it would be great for them but also because they deserve it |

The reason for giving England every chance is so that, when they are beaten, they don't have any excuses other than not being very good! |

probably because we use this one for all world cup matches in the tournament and don't set up seperates for each game...... |

Think they are trying to keep it in one place so when this one is full there will be world cup rugby 3 XX |

They were so focussed against the boks, their captain was talismanic. Today he just looks manic! Loads of handling errors |

i forgot why i don't like laidlaw...... he just won't stop yapping at the ref trying to get penalties...
fantastic try saver by the japanese winger at the end of the half |

C'mon Scotland!!!! Watching sneakily at work so shhhhhhhh  |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I think a few of the Japanese look a bit battle worn from the weekend but that was a cracking tackle by the full back |

Oops thought he was the full back |
