      Is Monye bi-polar?

      Complained all night about England kicking the ball away

      Steward scores and it’s the only way to attack

          I honestly don’t think I’ve seen an international team knock the ball on more than Japan have this evening

          Must be 20+

                        Japan really have gone backwards as England get the BP try.

                          Not always pretty from England this evening, but they’ve got the job done.

                          England 34 Japan 12.

                          England are heading to the Quarter Finals.

                            What a brilliant game of rugby.

                            Great refereeing, great team selections, great commentary, great play all round.
                            Great spirit from both sides. That's what Rugby is all about.

                            Well done everyone. Huzzah!!!!!

                              England only conceded 6 penalties there. Good discipline gets you to the World Cup knock outs.

                                  Controversial try has sunk Japan. Marler did not knock on but Stuart did.

                                      Was just superb to see. They hammered away and didn't lost their heads. Great effort.

                                      Japan made a great game of it too. Well done to them. Valiant losers.

                                      A fantastic evenings fare.

                                      Shout out to the ref who just brilliant it must be said.

                                        England have shown some real defensive steel. They could well prove to be a problem at this World Cup... the only thing is will they go away from what has worked?

                                        Ford is in the form of his life, the midfield and Steward a functioning well, why throw in Farrell? I'm not even sure they should put him on the bench, but I suspect they will, and I don't think it is a good idea.

                                        They looked better balanced with a big number eight, and Earls playing 7, will they stick with that when Curry returns, or will they try and shoehorn Earls to 8? (hmmm, think aloud seems similar to Ardie Savea at 8, though that is another story for another day)

                                        Good to see the Poms going well though.
