Wallabies v Fiji

[booboo]

Well, nobody will be happy with that.

Geez that was bloody fun! Fiji couldn't quite nail it, and Wallabies did just enough. Hard not to feel for the Fijians, but that's the way it goes.

Show that try again

I thought it was fine.

Fiji had plenty of chances to bury the game, but their hands let them down at crucial stages.

Fair to say that both sides are operating at around the same level these days.

There was no footage that actually showed a grounding. So unless there was something we didn’t see then sure award it. But the replay even showed a gap between the ball and ground

[Steven Harris]

@ACT-Crusader it’s a try you would feel hard done by if that wasn’t rewarded
Fiji will look back at the numerous handling errors and a dis functional line out that cost them
If they cut those errors by even half they possibly win comfortably

[KiwiMurph]

I went back and checked - Wilson clearly got it down eventually - what are we talking about here?

@ACT-Crusader said in Wallabies v Fiji:

no footage

Not clear and obvious to be able to overturn.

[ACT Crusader]

They just showed another replay which eventually showed he got it to ground even with a Fijian hand under it.

Fiji 8, 12, 13, 23, 5, 9 were all excellent

As were 11 and 15

[ACT Crusader]

Yeah left off Rayasi who was superb.

[NTA]

Besides their THP I thought all of Fiji were pretty good, hands aside

Yeah clear grounding, eventually as you said.

Fitness is often a problem for Fiji at the end of games, and that leads to mistakes.

The Lions will. Not much to worry about from the Wallabies. Very average.

I hope for Joe Schmidt's sake that he was keeping the powder dry.

Doesn't really explain the handling errors across the game tho

[ACT Crusader]

Fiji do play a style that has troubled the Aussies. Lions will play very different and they weren’t great last night either

[booboo]

@sparky said in Wallabies v Fiji:

The Lions will

I was going to add that, but not sure if they will. They want the games to attract an audience.

We could just ignore that it wasn't that long ago that Fiji beat an at home England.

[sparky]

@Bones Sure, but England were terrible in the game. And it was there fifth defeat in six games at the time.

Oh, that old chestnut.
