RWC Week 5: Fiji v Portugal

[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

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.

[stodders]

@Stargazer good call

[Stargazer]

I feel sorry for Portugal that Fiji scored that try. One little mistake from them, requiring minimal effort from Fiji.

[Steven Harris]

High tackle missed on a Portuguese player ?

[stodders]

So diving has now made it into rugby

[stodders]

It should just be a yellow for me given the late step by the Portuguese player

[Stargazer]

Head making direct contact with chin. That could be upgraded to red.

[stodders]

@Stargazer mitigation because of the late step?

[Stargazer]

Deserved try to Portugal!
Don't get me wrong, I want Fiji to go through, but they should work for it. They're just looking lazy at the moment.

[stodders]

@Stargazer it was the dive though. Players are now falling over at the merest hint of head contact.

[Stargazer]

@stodders said in RWC Week 5: Fiji v Portugal:

Spot on. Yellow stays yellow.

This Fiji team has just shovelled ball across and looked every bit like a Fiji team of the past. Really disappointing.

On the other hand, the Portuguese team have been excellent.
