Who'd a thought England would be the only unbeaten side left in the semis?

Being on the easy side of the draw will do that.

Who'd a thought England would be the only unbeaten side left in the semis?

Not at all surprising - England has enjoyed a most fortuitous ride to the semifinals. After topping the weakest group in the pool stages they eked out a narrow win over the lowest ranked team (tier 2 Fiji) among the quarter finalists.

Stranger things have happened, but if they somehow manage to overcome South Africa this weekend it would be one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. More likely they will lose by 30 + points.

Anyone in Japan know if the full games are available on TVer soon after they finish. Not doing a 4am wake up for , well l anything.

If you join Amazon Prime on a free one month trial you can also get a J Sports package on trial for 14 days.

Just remember to cancel both before they are due for renewal and you can watch the games live or later.

Who'd a thought England would be the only unbeaten side left in the semis? That record will most likely not last past this weekend but, who knows? I was wrong in the 3 of 4 predictions about the quarters and thought Ireland unbeatable after they beat the Boks so I could be wrong again.
