    Best team on the night won.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Superb disciplined defence from the ABs.
    To go through almost 40 phases and not give away a penalty is incredible.
    Ireland 5% below where they have been. ABs as good as they could be.
    Jordi Barrett's tackle late on was crucial.

    Whole stadium is stunned.

    So much for the all Northern Hemisphere semis. Could be quite the opposite.

    Yep, my powers of prediction have been terrible so far.

    I am now starting to wonder whether England are now actually going to somehow kick our way to a world cup win and go down as the worst WC winner's ever 😂

    One refs accidental is another’s yellow card.

    England better (or at least, not as rubbish) today. A bit less boot and a bit more action in hand.

    I think crossing should be allowed. It’s a soft penalty. It’s not dangerous is it?

    England go through while the other lions do not.
    Not quite the same as being the best.
