Never known so much aggro over RU officiating decisions, it’s becoming like football. Managers and players post match now making snide remarks, used to be a rarity in the sport. Not just this WC, Sexton was an outspoken bad loser after Leinster lost the European final this year.

Imho. We raised our game as a one off, great plan by Borthwick, got crucial points on the board. Whilst they were below par. Perhaps took us for granted?

Obviously I meant just now. We’ve won the rugby WC, France and Ireland haven’t. We’ve had spells of dominating European rugby, under Woodward and other coaches we’ve beaten any nation home and away. Ireland are benefitting from a streamlined 4 provinces targeted to European glory and 15 years...

SA, NZ, France and Ireland are currently light years ahead of us at rugby union. SA kids are coached from an early age. I thought tonight might be a thrashing. So credit to Borthwick and the squad for restoring pride. Something to build upon.

Will Jordan …. a special player.

Months/years of British media hype about France, Dupont and Ireland ends in tears. Looks like the historic giants of the game SA and NZ will slug it out.

:lolol: posh boy Nick Mullins’s fairytale of a Fiji win in tatters. But well done Fiji, amazing comeback playing their unique attacking game.

All tries from Kiwis so far.

Beautifully creative rugby from the All Blacks. Whilst Italy have reverted to the Italy of 20 years ago.

What a time for Ireland’s brilliant line out to implode.

The most ‘kick for territory’ game of rugby I can recall. Japan as guilty as England.

This is nightmare for the BBC’s Chris Jones, their supposed English rugby union expert. He’s built an entire career as the softly spoken merchant of England doom …. “devastating” injury news, suspensions and certain of bad results before fixtures.
