Is the Aussie game worth a watch, or is it all a bit daft after a very early red card for the shackle draggers?

Yeah. I agree on Willis. Given how poor our lineout has been, I’m assuming he’s been left out to accommodate a better jumper (Capstick has moved to 6 with Coles coming back in at lock).

Bit of a meaningless game apart from seeding, but we’ll want a win over Ireland after contriving to lose our last two against them (both games we should have won IMO).

On itv4.

[Beasties]

On itv4.

I've set my Sky box to record at 7.30 but the info on the planner makes no mention of Eng playing, stating it's semi-finals and the four teams mentioned don't include Eng. is this just a plain error by Sky? I've just checked on Youview and they're displaying the same info as Sky

This is where I got that info. I think the prog starts at 6.50 and will show highlights from other games.

Maybe unsurprising to be showing the semi final rather than the 5th place match, but I can't imagine France vs SA is going to be much of a ratings draw!

That's very stupid.

[Digby]

What's the world record for the most players named Olly/Ollie in a XXV?

[Raggs]

Apparently all games are now geo blocked... Which i assume means we need to be elsewhere to watch the England game.

[Galfon]

Today's matches -
Results in:
Arg 13 - 34 Aus (1-4 SF)

NewZ 7 - Wal 8 (5-8 SF)

Geo 12 - 8 Fij (9-12 SF)
Sco 19 - 26 Ita (9-12 SF)

Latest:
SA 0 - 14 Fra (1-4 SF)

Ire 6 - 13 Eng (5-8 SF)

[fivepointer]

Conditions very poor. Game likewise. Another 2 soft yellow cards havent helped us but we did score a nice try.

[Galfon]

FT SA 7 - 20 Fra,
Ire 23 - 30 Eng...nearly snatched defeat from jaws of victory. It would be good to finish on a high.
Tries from Hodge,Maunder & (last min) Willis.

[fivepointer]

Good to come back at the end and get the win. Willis made a difference and it was odd that he didnt start. Thought Fox was an upgrade at SH too. Scrum good, line out again poor with 6 lost throws. Dont they practice at all?
pretty dire game but a win takes us into a 5th place play off with Wales.

[Mellsblue]

Fox is a good player. Saw him play against Bedford earlier in the year and he was one of the best players on the pitch. Regardless of W whether YC survive the summer, I can’t see him staying. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.

I heard a rumour that he’s going to Bath.

I'd thought it was confirmed back around 6N times

[twitchy]

Redpath 6 weeks for biting. Was england's plan this tourney that "we are so good we are going to win this thing with a maximum of 13 players on the pitch at any one time".

[Scrumhead]

Has anyone seen the bite? Presumably the evidence is clear enough for him to have been banned. What an idiot.
