That's the spirit

That was a nervy last 20 minutes. Fair play to Fiji for coming back but we had the chance to put the game to bed when 14 points up and didn’t make the penalty. Gave them a chance and they took it.

Absolutely I’m happy England have reached as far maybe slight better than expected but they’re nowhere near the level of whoever they face now.

Sure plenty on here said the same the last WC semifinal England played.

You're probably right either of those teams are favourites to beat us, but as we saw yesterday, it doesn't always go the way of best teams.

England were in a far better place then, I’m pleased they’ve dug deep today and responded well to Fiji getting level.

It would be hilarious if England pissed on France fire again in a semi final.

It would make very happy if we could send SA home.

Yep can see your thinking however my next door neighbours are from SA and surprisingly probably 2 of the nicest people ever to exist.

I've no real dislike of South Africans just feel we owe them for a few previous world cups.

In a rugby sense definitely 2007 I feel we were a bit robbed in the final

Amazing start from France.

Amazing start from France.

Amazing turn around by the Springboks.
Hopefully they’ll smash each other up.

 

[sycophantia]

Crazy start to the game, both teams will be on their knees by half time at this rate

 

[Sniffer]

Wow! Phenomenal stuff.

 

[jd1981]

That’s an incredible try by SA

 

[Sniffer]

Ridiculous!

 

[jd1981]

The level of rugby played in both the evening QF has been off the charts.
