We haven't had extra time in a RWC match since that dickhead Wilkinson kicked that drop goal in the 2003 final.

Not sure about that decision. Although given the way England have handled the ball throughout the tournament, maybe it was the right thing to do.

The english lineouts pushes before the fijian lands and Itoje was tackling him in the air. That ref is a jackass.

Lawes looked off his feet killing any contest at that ruck where Fiji got penalised.

He was. There is also an other ruck where the support player was way beyond the ruck, Fiji got Nayacalevu got penalised for the same thing.

Think I’d rather England get filled in by France rather than SA next week.

Can't wait for that sweet sweet revenge against South Africa.... France another easy win too.

The meltdown will make it even more sweeter.

That last 20 minutes was more exciting than I would have liked. Well done England, commiserations Fiji. That was a good quarter final. Maybe neither side is up to the standard of the top 4 at this WC but they have a good shout for being best of the rest.

And Owen Farrell got man of the match. He said ''we've got plenty of work to do''. There's an understatement.

Another tight game. Think England edged it in the end. Doubt they’ll go further now but happy with the semis based on how poor the Borthwick era has been in general.
