RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji

[sparky]

Huge opportunity now for Wales and Warren Gatland to dump Australia out of this competition.

[Tim]

I am feeling unbridled joy from a sports result. So good.

[KiwiMurph]

Fiji thoroughly deserved winners. If anything the scoreline flattered Aus.

[Steven Harris]

Brilliant win by Fiji, dominated this contest for 80% of the game ,breakdown work was sensational
Final score flattered Australia ,Fiji need to be part of the Rugby championship ,

[game_film]

Is that the worst possible outcome for Wales?

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris Drua have been a huge benefit for them.

[The Irishman]

Brilliant! Hopefully Wales can finish off Oz and knock them out, it would be fantastic to see Fiji qualify. That should be a cracking game next Sunday.

2nd 40 reffing question marks notwithstanding… it’s a massive scalp

Whole fucking 80

Fiji should have been up 26-3 if those fuckwits could of officiated properly

Though Brace did really well in this game. Good reffing compared to last week with Carley.

Blind Freddy would have done better this week

Very low bar

Brace and team made three massive mistakes / non-calls in the first half

[Jailbreak7]

Which just goes to show that you cant go into an international match without a top quality 7. You will get hammered at the breakdown

[Steven Harris]

@Tim hope the missed bonus point does’nt cost Fiji in the final wash up

Not the best but not fatal

Obviously a win over Australia is the best result for us, but a loss within 7 scoring 4 tries should see us through

And a win against Georgia

[sparky]

The confidence of the Australian squad must be incredibly low. That was a must win game for them and they lost it.

[MiketheSnow]

Eddie very gracious and honest in defeat

[Steve]

Great game of Rugby.

What a fantastic way to pass a Sunday afternoon.

Splendid. Well done Fiji.

Positively fantabulous.

Eight Drua players in the 23.

It will be interesting what that number will be in the future, after a few more years of SRP.

@MiketheSnow Just wait til they call up Kurtley Beale.

[game_film]

Great for Fiji and great for the game. Eddie’s been here before, but on the other side of the bargain. But as I’ve said before, Dave Rennie is cackling and rolling a blunt right now.

[sparky]

Eddie Jones “if you look at the stats today, we dominated.’

Not the stat that matters most, Eddie, not that one.
