RWC: England v Tonga (Pool C)

[Frank]

I had the English ITV commentary on last night during the AB game.

Funny hearing the English commentators trying to hype up Tonga - conveniently neglecting they had 90 points put on them a few weeks ago.

England lots to little.

Bloodbath.

Unfortunately can only see this, hopefully Tonga don't roll over and at least make it physically competitive.

[Chris]

Come on Tonga big hits all night please

[Frank]

I'd hate to see Owen Farrell shoulder charged.

If England get less than a 92-7 win it's a failure, right?

[Bones]

Classic. English commentator summoning the ignorant ghost of yesteryear. Billy born in Tonga apparently.

I consider it a failure by Tonga if they don’t hurt at least 2 poms

[Rembrandt]

Christ I forget how big Tameifuna is!
Reckon there might be some sumo scouts in the crowd looking to give him a call?

[mariner4life]

England making some big tackles. Like Ireland, very strong and very accurate in the tackle

[Chris]

There we fucking go first big hit

[MiketheSnow]

Yessssss

[Bones]

Yessssss

Classic pom commentator now trying to call into question the legality of the tackle.

[Rapido]

Ha ha, jeez at no point did I think Takalua would actually slot that. Eccentric routine, but it works.

[Chris]

Good from Tonga

[Bones]

"brilliant defensive work from the islanders" 😂

Is this Harrison?

[hydro11]

England have missed some chances to go wide. Not sure why. Tongans are not great one on one tacklers.

[Chris]

There’s some real space out wide for Tonga if they move it to the fringes

[hydro11]

Tonga are diffusing the high balls well but their forwards are already feeling the pace (which hasn't been electric). They will get done here but are doing a good job so far.

[mofitzy_]

Good work by Tonga to keep that up.
