Oh dear, Sam.

Sam Burgess dropping it over the line?

Thats something you see everyday.

Wasn't intentional, report get on with game. England look woefully ineffective 20/10m out from tryline.

That's an awful decision from the video referee. England get away with one.

Tomkins is one lucky boy

Very much, really should've paid for taking his eye off the ball.

That's got to be a try, hasn't it? Tomkins has basically won a penalty for knocking on.

As I have saoid umpteen times Tomkins will NEVER, EVER make a rugby league full back. He's an total liability when people are running at him and he's under pressure.

Last time I checked, he was playing Rugby League, at full back.

Is Rangi Chase in the playing 13, can't find him. Oh he,s just passed the ball so he,s still on the pitch.

Yeah I think he has already made it

So far all I can say is that England are good at getting out of their half but are clueless when they get 30 meters out from the Fiji line

Main problem here is precision in attack. The number and direction of runners is fine, the ideas are fine, but the slight mis-timing of passes is taking the edge of every move.

Fiji are in the lead, great try, that's how you attack 30 meters out England

Still thinking that?

F**k me. He's on the field in that position but that's not what I call playing.

Sinfields done something


Good try England

For all the Sinfield knockers that's why he'd in the team.

Watkins, Chase and Tomkins are looking very weak so far in this one.

Pretty average stuff from England so far other than the effort. If not for that mistake from Fiji it would be 0-6 at half time.

Again

yes.good game and tight as we all new it would be.if england can just execute a touch better in second half should win handily.

Pretty poor from England, got some pretty dodgy calls otherwise they would be behind.

One bit of good play after 40 minutes does not "justify" anything. You think NZ and OZ will look at that performance and be fearing anything. Defensively England look OK, but attacking, they are so bad. They look disorganised, Chase is all over the place. Massive improvement needed.

Lets not forget, Fiji are also missing their best player very good game though but expecting a different England side second half.

has he had sex with your wife? he made a mistake get over it, he has put a few players in space this game and hasn't dropped a high ball yet which is usually your big moan.

sinfield is the strongest in the halves and rangi chase seriously isn't up to it, he isn't a bad player just not good enough at this level.

Rob borrow if he can't defend in the position he is playing why is he playing it? first big man who ran at him went past him.

Also Briscoe is having a worse game than Charnley did against Australia.
next game.

1.tomkins
6.widdop
7.sinfield

Based upon this first half, in the semi-final at Wembley it will be New Zealand 48, England 6. (HT New Zealand 30, England 0).
