Rugby World Cup: gli highlights di Inghilterra-Fiji

 Due mete e il piede di Farrell respingono l’assalto degli isolani, ma quanti brividi per la formazione inglese nel match di Marsiglia



Quanta fatica per l’Inghilterra nel terzo quarto di finale della Rugby World Cup, sfida che ha visto gli inglesi letteralmente scappare via dalla trappola Fiji all’ultimo. A Marsiglia i britannici sembrano potersi costruire il successo con una buona prima ora di gioco, nella quale grazie alle mete di Tuilagi e Marchant oltre che al piede di Farrell volano sul 24-10. I pacifici però sono squadra capace di tutto e in cinque minuti (tra il 64’ e il 69’) marcano con Ravai e Botitu rimettendo tutto in parità a quota 24. Serve allora un nuovo sprint all’Inghilterra che, nonostante una difesa finale in sofferenza e che lascia qualche dubbio a livello disciplinare, riesce a portarla a casa soffrendo fino all’ultimo istante.
