RWC: England v USA (Pool C)

[ACT Crusader]

Good on England doing their bit to grow the game by not kicking out after the siren

[Canerbry]

That was spectacular, England were hilariously shit in that last play.

I shudder to think how many people's first experience of watching a game of rugby was that mess.

A very poor advertisement for the game.

Nothing about Hooley from the ITV studio

Just heard it's 10 days until the next England match.

What the fuck are ITV going to talk about?

I'm going to take an outrageous guess and say...high tackles. And Billy Vunipola.

I really like Eddie Jones

He is the biggest piston wristed gibbon in world rugby.

Not even close

That's come from players and coaches who have been part of his setup. Almost universally hated. Not saying he hasn't been successful, but he's just an awful human.

After sitting through Canada v Italy I couldn't stomach watching this game as well but reading the Pommy press it seems all you guys are wrong. Everyone should simply anoint England as RWC Winners now and go home.

[Catogrande]

@dogmeat I haven’t actually seen much of that but then I choose to be fairly selective in which sports press I read. BBC in general are pretty negative until England actually win something, tabloids overboard either way as you would expect, little England press wank on like it’s the second coming of St Jonny of the drop goal.

Lewis Ludlam looks the goods.

I had some money on him to score a try Shame I didnt check the team sheets as I also put money on Watson to score one too....

[Crucial]

Well that RC goes to show exactly why everyone complained about Farrells technique in other incidents. The ONLY difference is that this one was a tiny bit higher and connected with the head. Outcome different, act the same. Dangerous play.

The USA 2nd 5 has a touch of the Sam Tuitupo to him in defence.

Paul Lasike. A Kiwi-born player who had a short stint in the NFL.

Is this game worth watching? Maybe I should just watch the last 10 mins.

I’ve met Eddie a few times and he’s pretty good for a chat and seemed decent enough. Didn’t sense that others who I were with that knew him far better had any personal animosity against him.

I've met him a few times. He's a bloody funny bloke. Loves rugby too, at all levels.

And i know more than a couple of people who have played for him, and they have a lot of time for the bloke.

Save yourself 5 minutes and watch the last 5.

just watch Farrell getting smashed in the face, that's the highlight.

That happened in the 71st minute, hence my comment about watching the last 10 mins to cover Farrell being Farrellized and the USA try.
