Portugal could do Fiji next week if Fiji play like they did yesterday and/or finally get pulled up for dodgy tackles
All Fiji need is one competiton point - 4 tries or losing by 7 or fewer will do.
Something they toiled to achieve against Georgia (the winning points, no BP)
It's not out of the realms for Portugal to beat Fiji by more than 7 without conceding 4 tries

Nah, that was their dip game after a massive upset win. They'll cruise to a win next week

Fiji will beat Portugal and finish 2nd in the pool. No doubt. I say that having not even watched this game yet.
Agree with @Machpants that Georgia were their dip game

There's a theory that the GF appearance in 2015 actually haunted us longer term. That maybe the best thing foley could have done was miss that kick against Scotland.
Don't know how that would end up of course. A review? We've had a dozen of those in the last 20 years and nothing is getting better...

Try #3: silly kick from Portugal 9, and we actually decide to counterattack. Fuck didn't appreciate how fast Foketi is.
Nearly goes to shit but Bell cleans up, then we're smart enough to use hands instead of going straight into contact. Funny how you can cover your rucks in time when you play on your feet.
You're not stopping Bell from there. Best prop we've had in so long. Wish we had Alaalatoa there with him
