Holy shit. If that's worthy of the tmo then fuck off.

Dumb fluffybunny commentator saying you can't play the 9. The ball's out you retard.

She was still part of the ruck no?

Shit call, no way was that a YC

Female commentator is doing my nut

Talk less, talk slower, talk deeper

Nikki or the offsider?

The Yank

Sorry that should have read Rikki not Nikki.

Think we have different comms. We got Swannel and the annoying Pom chick. No bloke.

Kildunne is the new Tui

[Bones]

It's funny watching England's passing, the pull back before passing is really noticeable and quite the callback.

[Bones]

England players cockiness is going to go off the charts over the next few weeks. Bodes well for whoever faces them on the final

[Bones]

Would it be that hard for the pom commentator to actually learn the laws and not rely on Facebook gossip?

[Bones]

"If you take the kickoff then ball must go ten metres or else it must come back to where it was."

Righto

[Bones]

USA halfback seems to have taken lessons from Christie in how to clear the ball. Running around the opposite side of the ruck to reach through and try and get the ball, before deciding she can't reach so has to go back to where the ball actually is.

[Bones]

Kildunne absolutely Tuiing it

[Bones]

The scoreline is quite bizarre. England accuracy just nailing every opportunity and then some.

[Bones]

USA given a kicking but going to be fun watching the ego deflation when this England team lose. Whooping and hollering like a James Lowe highlight reel.

Unfortunately can't see it. But ego is probably their biggest vulnerability.

England were a bit jumpy at the beginning, got better as the first half went on and were simply brilliant in the second half. Power, pace, good hands from the forwards, made metres in contact, moved the ball on. EK is all class.

First game in a home World Cup, cheered into the stadium, think it was a full house.

Great start.

Apart from all the empty seats.

They hid those quite well. A couple of strips around the outside of each block. And there seemed to be plenty of space in other areas.

[booboo]

Further to that. Maybe a bit like last WRWC in NZ, with the BFs playing to "sell outs". Sold all the tickets that were made available, sure ...

The reffing in that USA v England match was terrible.

[NTA]

USA: Kelter (12) isn't very smart. She's the same one who stepped on an Aussie's head last time they played. That YC was justified IMHO as she slapped at the ball with no intent to gather it.

Ortiz the scrum half is killing the USA attack - big wind up at the base of the ruck pass means the referee can't really penalise England for offside.

Not that it mattered - I'm up to 45-7 and will fast forward the rest

She (Aimee Barrett-Theron) is a good chance to get the final.
