Oh yes of course it's France who have South Africa

C'mon Wales

A big weekend of rugby about to start

I am out tonight at the theatre ( great timing!) but I have a feeling I will be checking the phone

( a minutes silence was held for the innocent victims in Israel and Gaza)

Wales v Argies is too close to call!

[Hurn]

Well that's gotta be that then. Superb display from Argentina!

To quote the TV commentator, Wales RWC bubble just burst. Sanchez scores by the posts 17 - 26

Oh well at least my liver can have a rest now

[XWP29]

Just for this evening I’m supporting Ireland.
All Blacks just can’t help cynical penalties, never change.
Ireland have the experience and should get through, noting certain though.
Great first half of rugby.

[Hurn]

Another very tight and entertaining game.

[XWP29]

Wow great game respect to Ireland and New Zealand improve again as the tournament goes on.

[Hurn]

NZ take it, and go through to the semi final.

England 8-0 after 15 minutes against a lively Fiji

Fiji maybe full of tricks but they have some serious power but so do England - good match so far

Fiji penalty miss of the post a let off for England

[slogen51]

A silly penalty given away by Tom Curry

8-3 to England

Yes!

Marchant touchdown - England looking good though the phases

13-3

Fiji have a man in the bin

And Fiji miss a second straight forward penalty kick - very costly

[slogen51]

Whoops what an off load

Fiji try under the sticks

15-10 to England

Bit worried but it's early days - England fitness and discipline should see us through -; hopefully, fingers crossed, praying!

[plmc135]

15 - 10

[slogen51]

What a hit on Lawes! Incredible

Very enjoyable match

Penalty to England

Farrell reliable

England 18-10

[slogen51]

Good pressure from England

Farrell reliable again at the penalty

England 21-10 at half time

[XWP29]

Much more like it England well played first half.

[slogen51]

Great to see Jonny May having a good first half

[slogen51]

Fiji are joyful to watch with the ball in hand

England force another couple of pens - Farrell short for a change

England 14'points ahead 24-10

[Hurn]

24-17. Every QF has been an epic battle tbh.
