    Same here.
    Argentina deserved it though. Better discipline from them and errors from Wales the difference.
    First blood to the Southern hemisphere.
    Come on Ireland.

    Best game yet.
    Both teams played out of their skins.

    Semifinal 1 will be Argentina - New Zealand. I'll root for New Zealand.

    Decent first half from England. Helped out a little by Fiji missing 2 penalties. 21-10

    It is looking like a comfortable win for England. Fiji not playing so well.
    You also missed a conversion.

    I spoke too soon. Fiji improved. Pretty exciting second half. 27-24 for England at this point. 8 minutes left. Good game.

    Bit nerve-racking at the end, we just shaved it. Great run from Ben Earl.

    France or SA in the semi.

    England great in defence.
    Forwards great in the breakdown.
    Farrell almost faultless with the boot (missed just 1?)

    Fiji never give up.
    A worthy opponent.
    I could have taken the loss if it meant Fiji got to their first semi final.

    Rather Fiji than anyone else.

    Now to root for the Boks for a chance to get revenge for the last final.

    Good start for France, 7-0 very early
    Haha, it didn't take long for South Africa to equalize. 7-7

    Wow, just wow.
    6 tries in the first half 22-19 to France.
    What a game.
    Boks go a man down for the first 10 mins of the second half.

    France have had the most possession and territory but SA haven't wasted a single opportunity.

    They've only been inside the French 22 three times and they've scored every time.

    Cruel. The hosts lost by one point.

    Stad du France goes silent.
    Tough game to lose.
