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

        Is that the worst possible outcome for Wales?

            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.

                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

                  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

                        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

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

                              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.

                                    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.

                                      Eddie Jones β€œif you look at the stats today, we dominated.’

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