RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji
-
Got up and saw the score -
butnot looking good for Eddie or McLennan's decision to arse Rennie.Great result for Fiji - they deserve to go through and should have beaten Wales to lock in their QF spot.
Club recruitment for 2024 just got a shitload harder...

I’m definitely above any sort of digs at Australia out of principle….
….but you guys desperately need a new coach and a major shake up. Commiserations. Eddie is a dick and past his use by date.
But fucken well done Fiji, this on top of England last month is a massive shake up.
Wales/Australia will be a huge game.

Can't believe 10 of y'all voted Fiji - I get going against the grain, better odds etc, but I'd bet my left nut on Oz winning this comfortably.
Do you still think the same ?

Fiji deserved that. Thoroughly disciplined performance. If they hadn’t been robbed against Wales they’d be in the QFs already. Wallabies should beat Wales (he said with no confidence whatsoever)

After that I doubt whether we can.
Tupou and Skelton will still be out.
Young team will be shell shocked from that loss and under a lot of pressure.Not a great environment in which to perform.

Well enjoyed the game, who would of thought, Fiji would win a test by getting more penalties turned into points. A very good game, and Fijian breakdown work was outstanding. Hell how your lineout can be cleaned out like it was in second half is against all sense almost. Ver good.

Eddie very gracious and honest in defeat

Nope
He said Fiji were better and we were well beaten (in summary)

Crikey, they've broken him

Shaking my head about a couple of things here. That missed kick at the end may well see Fiji out of the RWC on points after Faletau late try yesterday but very little made of it by commentators. Eddie has a huge lifeline now.
Could not make out why Arnold not penalised for playing ball on the ground before Aussie try and the commentators saw nothing wrong. What am I missing here? -

Never underestimate Wales' capacity to shit the bad at the most crucial moment.
It should be a great game. I expect the Wallabies to win, but also I have no idea.

They missed it
And quick throw in from Marky Mark didn’t go 5m
They missed that too

In our own hands
Fiji need to beat both Portugal and Georgia scoring 4 or more tries in both matches to finish on a maximum of 16
Australia have to beat both us and Portugal scoring 4 or more tries in both matches to finish on a maximum of 16 points
We beat Aus, we’re through
We lose to Oz with no BP and beat Georgia with BP and we have 15 points, and if the others have accomplished the above then we’re out
At this stage it’s us and Fiji going through

What am I missing here?Well we had Aussie commentators, and I was surprised even they didn't notice the Arnold incident. But to be fair, the ref could miss it easily, the TMO isn't allowed to come in, and once the ball made touch, it couldn't be revisited after try,
