Saves me a trip to Manchester at least.

Embarrassing.
Didn't the linesman immediately flag that as forward?
Good that Borthwick has finally managed to get 'his England team' on the pitch.
Can we put this down to tanking to get Wales over Fiji/Australia in the Quarters?
Surely Wales are the better team out of them two
Well, probably, Australia are pretty much out aren't they? And didn't England lose to both in the warm-ups? Fiji probably have a higher potential to wreck England. I don't think it really is the plan.
Do they only get to check one forward pass a game?
These ‘off the ball tackles’
A hug at best both times.
What a useless cunt.
Farrell should be sent home for that, and not let out again for about a year.
Taking one minute to take that is utterly embarrassing.
If by some reason both these score 4 tries each with a decent chunk left, Ireland should be throwing the game for South African seethe.
I’ll go 31-10 Ireland. Over after 25 mins.
What needs to happen for the thistle munchers to send these cunts home? I can never follow all the bonus point shit.
Beat Ireland by 8 or more points or beat Ireland scoring 4 tries without Ireland getting 4 tries. If both team score 4 tries each then if Scotland win by 20 or more they both knock south Africa out.
I think.
Oh my
Utter shambles defensively
The Irish dont half get about.
We just look a bit meh against anyone with a decent defence. Just run out of ideas v quickly. Same happened with South Africa. 4
Repeatedly running against a brick wall
Shite sport anyway.
BBC Sport's headline writers obviously loving it.
'Hapless Scots'
Proper scenes in Fiji v Portugal. The ideal outcome in the end.
We should see Fiji off, and then we can say we only went out to the winners and pretend we're back.
All groups won by the Northern Hemisphere. That can't have happened too often before, if ever.
Pissing on La France's pomme frites AGAIN would be great, but looks a long shot.
From the realistic options, I think I want France to win. What has happened to me? Must be cooking with garlic too often.
Random stat to prove that is indeed the case: NZ have never lost a pool game until this tournament. So yes, first time Northern Hemisphere have won all the groups.Originally Posted by niko_cee
Despite all the talk about the huge blow-out scores, at the top level it's never been more competitive. France, Ireland, South Africa and NZ could all foreseeably win it. Outside chance for England and Wales, with only the Argies and Fiji making up the numbers.

If nothing else it's a winner because it brings an end to those weird crowd noise two minute highlight packages they publish. They need to get highlights up on YouTube quicker as well. The NRL has them up within hours, but you're waiting days with Super League.
RIP the taffs. Get Max Boyce on for a sing song.
Never a yellow.
That try-saver is the biggest contribution Mitchell Pearce has made to Super League. He is past past it.
My mum and dad used to love the Max Boyce records despite not being Welsh.
"The Incredible Plan" is great, to be fair.
Absolute shit from Catalans, who I think they benefitted from a weak league this year, and a pretty shit match generally. Harry Smith man of the match by a mile.
God I hope the all blacks stick about 40 on them here.
How union officiates these 'deliberate knock-on' situations is properly lol.
Getting sent off for 10 mins for attempting to intercept a ball will never not be lol
Here's a rugby question. Why do they always run in at half time? Such a waste of energy.
New Zealand Twitter in buts at the Irish fans Disrespecting the Haka. Get a life cuz.
Has anyone ever turned their backs on it? Must be worth a go.
David Campese famously went and warmed up during it and nearly caused a diplomatic incident.
Why didn’t NZ kick that in the corner and bring the time down for the yellow card? Chances are they’d get a penalty from the maul anyway.
Old Trafford needs to be banned from hosting rugby league games.

Think that's the best game I've seen. Shameful that the incompetent draw made this a quarter-final.
Waaaaaaay. Thought they had already won it. Johnny Sexton bealing.
Best in the world.
England to top off a dreadful WC for the ‘home nations’ tomorrow
The worst possible outcome from this tournament was England scamming it into the final and then losing to Ireland (or Wales), so thank fuck that's off the table.
The fringe just doesn't have the tournament minerals. Embarrassing really.
Well that was fucking stressful for 8 in the morning.
I think this is like our version of 'spirit of the game' kind of thing.
I wasn't much fussed either way but is there a reason you lads were so fervently anti-Ireland or just normal Tory stuff?
Reciprocity.
