Bullshit red, his shoulder hit the chest, Reyaud is just a terrible ref.

Hit chest and chin, but the lock prevented sight, he was bent at the waist and carberry was low. Definitely not a red, and wouldn't have been given as one to a tier one nation.

Decided to watch the Italy game as it was more competitive. Sounds like this had a decent second half.

Porter showing his quality already, 1 missed tackle (only 1 he has had to make) now stripped on his first carry.

Couple of very ordinary moments from Smith, then he scores a great try.

Farrell's inspirational presence willed Smith over the line there!

In seriousness, Steward is a Test player to the Manor born.

Not sure if anyone noticed before….Itoji’s whoops at opposition errors can be slightly annoying….

Incredibly annoying. Whoop if you really must when you're killing it on the pitch. It's been a while for him.

Completly agree, best England player on the pitch.

One of the most exciting exits you'll see from Japan and the commantary doesn't mention it. If Marcus Smith did a cross kick exit there'd be a newspaper front page!

Also that's harsh I think May did release.

Right there demonstrated everything that is wrong with this team. Ruck, ball available, JVP in position, backs in position, what does he do? Signals for another forward to join the caterpilar...just appaling decision making.

It truly baffles me that anyone can look at England's deficiencies and come up with Farrell to 10 as the solution..

Is it written into Itoje's England contract that can never be subbed?

Nice by Japan. Unlucky for Coles given he ripped the ball out...
