RWC: Fiji v Australia (Pool D)

[rotated]

I’m sure the calming hand of Michael Cheika will sort out this nonsense at the half.

Australia should be playing far more structure and trying to engage Fiji into more set piece

[MiketheSnow]

That should have been a yellow for Hodge

[ACT Crusader]

Gee I hope Yota can come back from the HIA.

Obvious isn’t it. They are playing way to loose. Trying to tire them out?

[Nepia]

Have Australia been playing in that soccer shirt all this year?

[NTA]

Fuck BOK is a shit ref

[Kirwan]

Line out is better than a scrum

Am sure he’ll start spotting Aussie forward passes soon

New design. South Africa is same template. But worse with random stripes on side

Perhaps he’ll also spot an Aussie making a first up tackle. Because I haven’t....

[Nepia]

Not sure why OZ don't kick the ball out and go to set piece - you really shouldn't give Fiji the chance to run it back from the centre of the field.

Unlikely.

His ruck management is the issue for me - lets all sorts of shit go, then suddenly decides there is an infringement.

In the back half of the game, it becomes an issue with tired players and a mess of a game.

[Kirwan]

What a curve on that kick. Beaver-esque

It's planned that way so that Pocock has time to rest his hands/knees on the ground/player and hold onto the ball.

[taniwharugby]

Aus really need to slow this down and use thier set peice instead of trying to play fast and loose

[Kirwan]

Aus are just going backwards here

[NTA]

Bam! Look at that ruck. Three Fiji players in from the side which was the easy call, but no. He's saying it was a guy not rolling away

[Bones]

Bullshit again. Pocock tackled and doesn't release as well as trying to get up and go again. Fiji penalised when they have to tackle him a second time.

[Steven Harris]

Fiji Halfback needed to keep the ball in hand from the turnover..
