Fantastic. No idea whatbit means for Wales but as I'd written them off anyway, I'm not that bothered.
Will people see thru Eddie Jones now?
Yes! Brilliant
So far Fiji have played in 2 of the 3 most exciting games.
Well played that
Here’s hoping that’s the big upset of the day!
Indeed, it would be shame if Japan lost!!
😂
Going to be a lot of Eddie's "nah, look....."
Get in Fiji!
No idea whatbit means for Wales
Nothing good, although no bonus point for Fiji, shame they couldn't land that last kick to deny Aus the losing bonus point.
Commentary is still utter dog mess.

er, how can I put this politely?
I usually support the underdogs - not quite sure who that is tonight 😜
not quite sure who that is tonight
Ouch... 😳
Perhaps England should get someone sent off to see if it unlocks that higher level of performance again?
I know, get in the lead and then chip and chase from you own 22. ****ing brain dead!!
Erm..... didn't the ref just get informed of a no-arms tackle by a Japanese player and he did absolutely nothing about it!!!
Dear lord!
When was the last time England crafted a try through their own attacking play rather than lumping the ball up in the air and hoping for a mistake?
So according to ITV it's the balls fault England can't catch!!
What a load of shit so far, from both teams.
Both teams look fairly awful. Japan look better with ball in hand, England look dire in attack. Centre partnership doesn't look like it's working to me
If Japan can resist the urge to run it from their own half they look to have the beating of England......
What a load of shit so far, from both teams.
Can you get on LinkedIn and see if you can get a punditry job with ITV? I'm sure messrs Wilkinson and Woodward would prefer to leave the summing up to you. So many words, but the upshot is...
What a load of shit so far, from both teams.
Booooooo and that's the crowd
In a rare moment of rugby positivity from me.....I think that this ref is brilliant. Keeping the game flowing well, great communication.
Seeing the refereeing as the best thing about a game speaks volumes! 🙁
The ref IS good. He’s having to ref dross but he’s trying his best.
I don’t know what to call this version of rugby that England are trying to play it it is painful.
Kicking. Is that really all they can think of?
What’s gone wrong and why?
The ref is the best performer on the pitch.
I think England have forgotten that you need to actually have possession of the ball to score. This is dire. Nice header by Marler, who’s spotted that we are indeed playing football.
Courtney Lawes eyelid is going to need to be sewn back on. 🤮
🤣 I'll take it!!
Gutted.
TBF it wasn't a bad bit of play that ran up to it.

England 'attack' '23 = Scotland attack c2013
interesting to watch Laurence now, Tuilagi has had his day and doesn’t click with Marchant.
“as this tournament wears on” - a fine choice of phrase from ITV commentary just there.
I know nothing about rugby. What's with the European Japanese player and the tongan looking Romanian?
Are scrums really worth all the aggravation?
TBP who'd have thought it!
