Weird decision to not take the scrum next to the posts, especially considering the weather.

This should be an 80 point win.

Except it won't be, England just having a live training session, practicing different patterns and plays, rather than a high scoring jaunt.

Have to say Scotland look pretty clueless. Just kicking repeatedly down Abbey Dows wing has already resulted in a try

Remind me of the highlanders. Zero attacking line after the first phase, if the halfback looks open she's got 3-4 players outside her, with the majority being 5m away.

England with a big lead (26-3) at half time and I don't see France causing them any problems next week.

[Bones]

My next gripe, after the anthem one. Why do we have to have such openly biased, ridiculously adoring British and Irish commentators?

[Jailbreak7]

Frdnce will be better for that game though, they hadnt really been tested until then

[sparky]

England beat Scotland 40-8 and will play France in the second semi final.

So that Joan Q. Public will be suitably devastated when their overhyped teams get tipped over at the business end. Keep up.

Fark me this must be the ONLY time I'm cheering for France...if only to zhut the one eyed comms up

I'm getting a South African bird and Kiwi bloke

Expect it was the same we had for BFs v SA.

Laura Jane something and Karl Te Nana.

Pomgolia based viewers been complaining about BBC throughout the tournament.

Wsit: Looks like her name is Laura-Jane Jones.

Not good about Miller. Back row is one area NZ have decent depth in though. It will be a tough slog against what is a formidable Canadian pack.

On the positive front, Brunt and Setefano are fit, so midfield isn't an issue.

[Bones]

@stodders plus Risi back will add a lot more fluidity.
