Just started in Wales

[yappysnap]

Waldrom!!!


Easter would have eaten that ball up

[Cumbrian]

First scrum penalty to England.

[nathan]

Waldrom!!!


Easter would have eaten that ball up

Wing was off side!

[Geordie]

What a scrum

[eirebilly]

Just to keep you guys up to date as well. The Dr has just kicked a penalty and give Argentina a 3 point lead.

[yappysnap]

Penalty Fiji

[nathan]

Fiji player straight off his feet!

[yappysnap]

Waldrom!!!


Easter would have eaten that ball up

Wing was off side!

Either way your 8 has to own that ball, Waldrom looked physically sick at the prospect of jumping

[Cumbrian]

Missed it 0-0 4 min.

[eirebilly]

1/2p penalty and its 3-3 in Wales after 7mins

[Cumbrian]

England trying too hard at the moment, just need to keep it simple.

[yappysnap]

Good play on the floor by Cole

[yappysnap]

Come on boys time to wake up now

[eirebilly]

DG from Sancheze and Argentina lead 6-3.

[yappysnap]

fcking hell cole let someone else work at the breadkown!

[Cumbrian]

Cole's second turn over, he's getting so good at that.

[Cumbrian]

What the Frak?

[Cumbrian]

What a bloody joke.

[yappysnap]

wtf???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That touch judge is a bell!

[eirebilly]

What happened?

[Geordie]

Shocking decision

[nathan]

What a joke!

[BamBam]

What kind of decision was that??

[EnglishReign]

Go on Q!

[Cumbrian]

Care got a yellow card for tackling a player!

[yappysnap]

The tudge judge almost wet himself with excitement at the prospect of running on to the pitch to tell Jackson to yellow card Care for a tackle

[yappysnap]

Poor poor control by Waldrom

[Geordie]

Can NONE of our back row control the ball in a scrum!!!

[BamBam]

Damn Goode, what was he thinking putting the ball in straight

[Cumbrian]

England basically haven't had the ball for the first 12 minutes.

[yappysnap]

Damn Goode, what was he thinking putting the ball in straight

You can tell he isn't a natural scrum half!

[eirebilly]

I will watch it later then.

Sad news in the Wales match. The Dr has done his knee and it looks like that will be the last match he plays Internationally

6-6

[yappysnap]

clever play by goode!

[EnglishReign]

We've had the ball, we just haven't practised passing it

[Geordie]

Fiji are by far the better side

[Cumbrian]

Waldrom dives to the floor and gets himself isolated, he's been mince so far.

[yappysnap]

Lucky we have Farrel to come on to help with that then ER

[yappysnap]

Waldrom dives to the floor and gets himself isolated, he's been mince so far.

+1 Morgan must be a bit bemused

[Cumbrian]

This is better boys!

[yappysnap]

Sarries should move Goode to 9 he looks like he's loving getting the ball so much!!

[BamBam]

Much better play, finally got a few phases going

[Geordie]

Waldron is rubbish.

The front row.have been our best...ha

[nathan]

Waldrom dives to the floor and gets himself isolated, he's been mince so far.

To be fair to Waldman, we should of been running with him to give him support. If we want to see a running game, we can't stand around.

[Cumbrian]

3-0 (19 min)

[nathan]

Fiji left wing offside once again

[Cumbrian]

Care back on.

[Cumbrian]

What a try from Sharples!

[yappysnap]

Sharples step is insane!

Genuinely defying physics on that touchline

[nathan]

Get in there!

People note the offload by Manu!
