YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY IF YOU BOUGHT A TICKET FOR THIS SPECTACLE LAST NIGHT! AN EXCITING FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER WITH LIVERPOOL’S DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI KICKING OFF THE PROCEEDINGS WITH A CRACKER AT 30 MINS. INTO THE MATCH, AND THEN IT WAS SOUTHAMPTON’S TURN WITH ADAM ARMSTRONG HITTING THE BACK OF THE NET WITH A STUNNER AT 42 MINS., AND HIS TEAM-MATE MATEUS FERNANDES FOLLOWING ON WITH ANOTHER BLINDER AT 56 MINS., WITH ALL THINKING THAT FOR JUST A SPLIT-SECOND, UNDERDOGS SOUTHAMPTON MIGHT HAVE WON THE MATCH!

RUGBY WORLD CUP 2023: ENGLAND VS FIJI – 15/10/2023 (PHOTO – OWEN FARRELL)
ANOTHER LOOK AT THE FANTASTIC RUGBY MATCH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FIJI ON 15/10/2023 WITH TRIES BY TUILAGI, AND MARCHANT FOR ENGLAND, AND THEN FARRELL MORE OR LESS SWEEPING THE BOARD WITH HIS CONVERSIONS, PENALTIES AND DROP GOALS (SEVEN IN TOTAL!) FIJI WERE NO WALK-OVER THOUGH, WITH TRIES BY MATA, RAVAI, AND BOTITU, CONVERSIONS BY LOMANI AND KURUVOLI (WHO WAS LITERALLY ALL-OVER-THE-PLACE), AND LOMANI’S PENALTY. AT ONE POINT, LATE INTO THE GAME IT WAS NECK AND NECK – 24 – 24. BUT SOME QUICK-THINKING AND EXPERT TEAM-PLAY BY ENGLAND CUT FIJI OFF AND ALLOWED ENGLAND TO TRIUMPH IN WHAT WAS A GAME OF ENORMOUS PHYSICALITY, EXCITEMENT, AND MUCH-AFFORDED RESPECT TO SUCH WORTHY ADVERSARIES.

WHAT A NIGHT FOR ENGLAND LAST NIGHT, WHERE THEY SMASHED IRELAND IN A FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER! IRELAND PLAYED WELL IN THE FIRST-HALF, AND WERE SEEMINGLY VERY WELL-ORGANISED, AND QUITE TOUGH FOR ENGLAND TO BREAK DOWN, AND INDEED, IT WAS STILL 0 – 0 AT HALF-TIME! BUT IN THE SECOND-HALF AT 51 MINS. IRELAND’S LIAM SCALES’ SECOND YELLOW CARD CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AFTER AN OBVIOUS FOUL ON JUDE BELLINGHAM, AND HE WAS RED-CARDED AND SENT OFF.
