Very strange I'm actually nervous now. I thought we would struggle to get beyond the QF, but now that we are here al...

Re: Constant scrum penalties are already destroying this Rugby World Cup
I’m sick of them as well
The scrum was supposed to be a method of restarting the game, not a way to win a game
It’s morphed into something it wasn’t supposed to be like the rolling maul
The fact that a knee on the floor was a big part of England losing last week says it all
