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.

Sam Matavesi has been back to Cornwall this week following the death of his father.

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
