RWC: Fiji v Australia (Pool D)

[Billy Tell]

If only Fiji had a scrum...

They will give Wales a good game. They probably need to score 1 or 2 tries fairly early in the second half to keep Australia at bay.

[African Monkey]

Impressed with Fiji's pressure at breakdown time. Linespeed has also been good but they're also defending very narrow, leaving opportunities out wide for the Aussies.

Yato is a huge loss. He was everywhere in the first 25.

[Crucial]

I came in late to the game and have only just seen Hodge's 'tackle'. If Barrett was a RC, how was that not?

First of a handful of games to remind us why the Home Unions + aus don’t want eligibility restrictions lifted.

How so? Because all those old guys not playing for anyone else would improve this Fiji team?

Depth. When the bench players who have been playing village rugby against the Western Force all year and think tries count for 12 (if scored in the super max zone during the last 2 overs) come on as replacements there will be a drop off.

Dumb game plan. Story of your first half

[rotated]

Love it as a Kiwi. Hate it as a Kiwi in North America who wants to sleep before the AB/Bok game with Fra/Argentina coming up.

Just a reminder that I support two international Rugby teams: the All Blacks and anyone playing Australia.

[Damo]

Have to still fancy Australia here, but this is great stuff from Fiji.

Pretty much everyone on this thread

[jegga]

Bula Vinaka my brothers , go Fiji !

I’ve always been a fan you know.

[Stargazer]

I can still see Australia win this game, but they need to get their act together pretty quickly.

[Kirwan]

Aus lineout is falling apart
