Wales v Fiji

Unfair result for Fiji
But one moment of skill from LRZ and Tompkins made it look like a comfortable win.
Wales 38-23 Fiji
If Pivac says anything but we were lucky then he’s a KNOB

Great performance from Fiji, apart from the deserved red card.
The dumbest Welsh effort I can remember since Fiji '07. The score flattered us a lot, that was a shambolic display. We are so poorly coached.

Welcome to the club, not every kiwi coach is a gem!

Our game is a mess. No 20 minute red card makes for faeces like that.
Well in this case you could argue that Fiji being down to 14 (and down to 13 for 20 minutes) kept the game competitive

Thinking no one would see his dirty, moronic action is the mess.

The maul tries revealed clearly where the problem with mauling currently lies: Both teams might have the same amount of players, contesting with similar power, but one team can shift the point of contact and remove defending players from the contest, who have no chance in hell of getting back and defending with the same force again.
The kick and chase try: How lazy was the Fijian FN (or was it SH?)? Well done by the Welsh winger, though. Some would have been seething if an AB scored that, saying it was knocked on...
Liam Williams is still an ugly ghoul.
P.S: red card totally deserved, what an idiotic cnt (talking about Liam Williams here)

Yeah - but, why does everyone who watches the game and supports the team have to pay the price?
For the defence, I call Sam Warburton.

@bones It should, but it doesn't seem to work.
I don't know what the "GDP" of a big test match is, but probably $20 million - and I've seen far too many spectacles ruined by permanent red cards.
I think a 20 minute red and a long suspension serves the same purpose, without totally fucking the game for everyone.

@bones I don't - but, there would be less games ruined for the spectators.
Again you don't know that. Maybe everyone would start offending more, so we'd see numerous red cards....maybe they'd start attacking spectators.
-
@bones I don't know that - but nor do you.
You'd need to have every individuals' indifference curve in relation to red card penalties at every instant, which is a known impossibility.
So we assume that everyone is rational and no-one wants to do things that severely disadvantage themselves and their team.
That evidently doesn't always hold true either - but, I don't see how juggling penalties is likely to make a lot of difference to individual players, so we might as well at least do things of obvious benefit to the spectators.

\I'm not getting attacked by a player just because you want to change things on a whim.
