Did she just say that England have never lost a RWC pool match?

Wow!

[Which Tyler]

Passive, so probably get away with a yellow

[astralweeks]

What a pleasure to see england stuffing Oz!!

[astralweeks]

Should have been a lot more

[Which Tyler]

"Australia look to secure their place in the QFs"

Yes dear.
Pretty sure England are unlikely to score, and covert 5 tries in the final 90 seconds

[fivepointer]

Took control and ran out comfortable winners after a very poor opening half an hour.

Matthews should really be playing 6 and Feanati at 8. And Rowland is far too good a player to be left on the bench.

[Mr Mwenda]

Just back from the game. Very weird one really. The England players did not look particularly happy at the end. I expect that they will get a rollicking. Some bad restarts still...

Great to see Dow, Breach and Kildunne in flight periodically.

Ps in other news, I realise I saw the bloke wandering around with the Utrecht shield!

That bloke is Dave - who used to post here, hyperbolic kiwi kid at the time.
A few of us helped his with his research to trace the history

I’ve still got the original spreadsheet somewhere!

Got to hand it to Dave. He’s been like a dog with a bone on this.

He really has - got an actual oak and brass shield made up.

The other 2 main things I remember him for are jumping off a bridge and being surprised that it hurt; and his first heartbreak.
From memory, "we" took the piss out of the 1st, and rallied around in support of the 2nd.
