Evening all. Can actually watch this one live as it is at a semi decent hour (almost 1AM on EC of States)

Nice kick off by Lilo and catch by Hodge.

Poor execution out wide though.

I thought he was offside but could be wrong.

Michael Cheika looks like a homeless drunk

Speaking of homeless drunks how did they select the host broadcaster pool?

Karl Te Nana? Melodie Robson resurfacing? Mehrts? Sean Maloney?

As an overseas viewer can anyone tell me if TJ has commentated an M10 Cup game this weekend? Please say no.

Well they can't use Sky commentators.

Wow

[ACT Crusader]

What a try.

Aussies looking passive in defence.

Normally yes. But Pretty shit hour if you have a 5:30am EST appointment however.

Same moves we did against them bled 2, also they're butter fingers

[kiwiinmelb]

And their ball security looks more like Fiji than Fiji does

[Bones]

Those Fijian outside backs are brutal eh. Tuisova etc are just so hard to put down.

[NTA]

Box kick from White was Genia-esque

[Kirwan]

Good start from Fiji. Nice field kicking too

[ACT Crusader]

Volavola looks a bit bigger and not like a 15 yo kid anymore.

[Kirwan]

Fuck, what a tackle.

[kiwiinmelb]

Be interesting to see how long Fiji can stay this accurate

[Bones]

That worked out worse for oz than if the ridiculously not straight lineout had been called.

[Kirwan]

@kiwiinmelb probably 30mins?

Got 3 alarms set. But there is a strong chance I sleep through them. Not as young as I used to be when I would get up at 3.30AM for the Bok games in Kiwiland

[Kirwan]

Holy shit, Fiji are on fire

TJ and a few other Sky guys were a host broadcaster last RWC despite Nisbo being on the Sky comms for AB games.

Not that There should be Sky comms on the game - just surprised to hear Sean Maloney commentating an Aussie game on the official World Rugby feed the same way I would be hearing the Alternative Collective Collective or Twelfth Man doing an ICC World Cup game.

[ACT Crusader]

Fiji have some big units all across the park. So the back end of the game will be most telling.
