Portugal need to get some points on the board

Great contest

Pearce with an odd call at the scrum

Fijians popping up, but penalty goes against Portugal

[MiketheSnow]

Fiji look nervous

Pushing things a bit aren't they. I know they like the miracle offload but they're not playing as a team at the moment.

[MiketheSnow]

Pearce is getting wise to the Fijian scrum

[MiketheSnow]

Portugal need to score ffs

[Stargazer]

Portugal putting up a good fight thus far.

The better team

Pearce needs to bring out the card next time

[Higgins]

Three all at half time for those not watching but wanting a score.

[Stargazer]

So what do Fiji need to do to get through? Just a win?

[Nic75]

One point I think so they can lose but not too much

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer a BP is sufficient, losing or 4t.

[cgrant]

Portugal are currently better than Italy which are ranked much higher.

[Stargazer]

@cgrant Italy have been an utter disappointment.

[Joans Town Jones]

The phuck is wrong with Fiji at the moment? They need to focus up front, get some go forward and then wide with the miracle plays.

[Machpants]

Jeez the England Fiji quarter, it it happens, is going to be a classic

[Steven Harris]

News Update
Wallabies have been taken off their life support machine just to see if there is an improvement over the next 40 minutes

[Stargazer]

What a great try to Portugal!

[taniwharugby]

Fiji look like they are playing for the single point they need, so lacklustre

[Stargazer]

Fiji 3 - 10 Portugal

Maybe Fiji will start to play now.
