    Fiji will be lucky to beat Portugal let alone England

    They were horrible but did enough to beat Georgia, should be able to do enough to beat Portugal. England will be sucking their own dicks at thought of avenging their Twickenham loss a few weeks ago.

    Fiji were horrible but did enough to win. England eyeing a World Cup Semi spot at least.

    Georgia played Fiji perfectly.

    Committed nothing to the ruck and hence had a wide full defensive line. Fiji didn’t really know what to do

    Our boys aren’t that supple and probably wouldn’t like the taste.

    Is this more of a SH thing?

    England with a ridiculously easy route to the semis going by this performance from Fiji.

    Yeah, it’s a reward for being runners up at the last RWC, if we’d been bundled out in the QFs it would have been different. But I’m being insensitive…

    Don't worry, I'm not the sensitive type.

    Watching back now at 37 minutes.

    Fiji seem determined to sabotage every attacking raid they have through shit offloads.

    A bit like neck rolls- I've only seen one penalised so far this tournament. They used to be all the rage

    Georgia replacement back took the wrong option at the end. Support inside and he kicks ahead. Georgia have pace but so do Fiji.

    Mostly a poor game in terms of skill execution but intense

    High pressure, shit or bust, RWC Pool play will often result in an error strewn game

    But by Christ it was riveting right to the end

    Fiji centre Tuisova's son died shortly before the game. https://www.planetrugby.com/news/josua-tuisova-told-seven-year-old-son-had-died-hours-before-georgia-game

    devastating stuff. Unreal he still played.

    Hugely sad. Am now on the Fiji bandwagon ... if we perchance don't advance. (I'm allowed to be selfish.)

    Reminds me of the movie 'The Summer of '92', about the Danish soccer team at the '92 Euros (kinda fun touching moving movie).

    The daughter of one of their players, Kim Vilfort, was dying of leukaemia during the tournament (true story), and he kept heading back to be with her, and the family kept sending him back to play (Denmark to Sweden not such a long way).

    She apparently died shortly after the tournament.

    Thoughts (and prayers) with Josua and family.
