Another high quality bit of play that.
Lucky lucky lucky
England are the jammiest fecking shower of fecking feckers.
It's astounding
It's astounding
Disgustingly lucky
feck meLawes too embarrassed to celebrate that one. Comical stuff.
Feck me. Jammiest try in the history of rugby.
Who says we don’t have attacking patterns
Having great awareness to play on isn't luck.
Hopefully they get Fiji next round.
Always liked Lawes, so glad for him at least.
Fecking hell Japan!!! Keep in in your hands lads!
How can you waste an attack in such a good position?
They're really not doing themselves any favours.
We’re still absolutely dog crap and somehow oppo fans are enjoying watching this less than us Japan are still very much in this.
Japan are still very much in this.They'll get the easiest tie.
England are so bad but at least they are winning
What’s really fecking nuts is that Fiji aren’t all that. Best of a terrible bunch, maybe. Still not a very good team.
Butterfingers after some good work from Japan again
They'll do damage to this England team, I reckon, but yeah the groups are completely lob-sided which is a shame.
Fair play to there being no yellow card here.... but the horrific handling from both has more than made up for that.
This has to be up there in terms of handling errors so far in this World Cup surely. Absolutely like clockwork.
I’ve lost count how many handling errors there have been in this game. It’s like watching a comedy.
Here’s a question. Can you deliberately head (or chest?) a pass forward to beat your man?
We are back baby
Well, that's game over.
Yes. There’s a wonderful clip of a semi-pro player heading a bouncing ball on, catching it and going under the posts. I’ll try to find it
We were awful. So bad that I could barely pay attention to the game. No cohesion at all.
Meh. Deflating

Nice! Love it when people get creative with grey areas of the rules. It’s a weird rule though. Should be a knock on if you play the ball forwards with anything other than your leg/feet.
If you manage to control that egg with your head and catch it you deserve a try at least
Japan played well and England aren’t the first in the tournament to struggle against the so called lesser teams. Still kicking way too much and not enough phases of play for my liking. Silly mistakes as well. Lost track of the handling errors today.
Well done Fiji: you were better, smarter and wanted it more.
A loss to Wales next weekend represents rock bottom, a nail in the coffin for the game and a huge slice of humble pie for Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan who thought it was a good idea to give a new coach 5 games to get a team going in the right direction for a World Cup.

I know that Union is a bit of niche sport in Australia, but this still has to hurt a two time world champion country
Beat Wales, put a score on Portugal and the Wallabies should make knockout stage but yesterday sucked. Rugby's decline here is such that the result wasn't a huge surprise which hurts. The Wallabies lost to Samoa 12 years ago in a Tri Nations warm up but that result became a disappointing footnote more than anything else come the end of that year.
Italy vs Uruguay
Italy at 13 against Uruguay. 
Just turned it on and seen Uruguay winning. Have italy had reds?Italy at 13 against Uruguay.
