RWC Week 5: Fiji v Portugal

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

@Stargazer mitigation because of the late step?

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.

Portugal leading Fiji 17-10 with 21 minutes to go.

Aussie might make the QFs.

@sparky this is still enough though for Fiji to stumble in.

Steven Harris

How thick is the Fijian leadership ,take the 3 ,you only need a bonus point

gt12

If they took the 3, got some territory, they'd get another 3, do that 3 times and they could still win. How dumb are these guys?

gt12

I've seen some dumb ruck entries in my time but that is right up there. You fucking muppet.

Gunner

Think Fiji just need to be patient and accurate, points will come.

gt12

My god this ref is letting it go, isn't he, that was two forward passes and an offside in 30 seconds.

Stargazer

Gunner

That clean out was the dumbest thing you’ll ever see on a rugby field.
