That's only when Farrell plays! Personally I have always preferred cool calm Ford, Farrell is OK when winning but panics when not.

I am bothered and hope England win. No matter what mess the RFU and Premiership Rugby has created, I still support every one of the team that is wearing the shirt for England.

The other team

Droasese; Habosi, Nayacalevu (capt), Tuisova, Radradra; Botitu, Lomani; Mawi, Ikanivere, Tagi, Nasilasila, Tuisue, Tagitagivalu, Botia, Mata.

Replacements: Matavesi, Ravai, Doge, Derenalagi, Miramira, Kuruvoli, Masi, Maqala

Quite a few changes there. I don't think Tuisue is a 2nd row but he's huge so might  not matter.

Kuruvoli on the bench is the goal kicking 9.

I thought the ref was very lenient to England.
I thought at least half of our turnovers were due to hands on the floor.
And we could easily have had two more cards.
But, you play to the ref.

Interestingly I thought ref was lenient to Fiji in contact. If England went into the tackle with a leading arm as Fiji constantly did then I am sure TMO would have intervened

I thought the referee worked well with the ARs & TMO and on balance did a fair job - far better than the two sets of officials in charge of the Q/Fs yesterday.

Just shows how varied opinions are… because I thought the officials were very good yesterday - stayed calm & explained their decisions - whether you agreed with them or not - clearly. One of the refs didn’t even start off as ref. Hope Barnes gets the final & Pearce the 1st semi, unless match official politics get in way of that…

No doubt Barnes will get the Final if England don't make it

Most likely to be a French ref for the final now they are out
