Great play from Fiji. If only New Zealand hadn't poached all their players over the last 20 years, Fiji would be sitting in number 1 spot.
At least, South Africa only take players from Zimbabwe, Ghana and Scotland.....

2/10. Must try harder.

You should.

Dan Biggar is the leading point scorer for Wales I imagine, Comms. Because he's nowhere near the top ten world wide

@Derm-McCrum ummm…Ghana??…Scotland….????? our scouts are hunting in ALL sorts of places scouring the depths for talent…. ESPECIALLY loosies 🤪

Sealing off a fair question by the Fijians

I recommend Ireland - Rassie has a good few contacts there and Nienaber is coming back.....

Yep handing over 1 or 2 wingers every decade would have made a massive difference, exactly what they need

Offside being inconsistently applied

Bit like Ireland really....

Why so many of SH teams constantly go for these tries.. with the held up over the line rule change etc.... its turning in to a low percentage play in my view....

Especially if you're Fiji and breaking tackles at will in the backs

Ref is fucked in the head. That's clear as daylight.

I don’t agree with that no try.

There is no separation between his hands and the ball before the ball hits the ground.

Wales will end up with someone in the bin.

Pesky Tier 2 nations ....... how dare they -- we'll sort them out

Penalty try
And keep the fluffybunny off

Shit decision

That’s the Elias non tackle

He’s just warned them, will he go to the pocket?

Cracking games for the neutral.

If the shoulder aimed at the knee with no wrap isn't foul play, then that tackle isn't either

This refereeing is fucked

what a crock of shit .... this is pathetic from the officials

Crooked throw in - ignored.

This game is turning into a keystone cops match

@Bones hey. Hope u good The reffing lottery continues… got to be brave putting cash down

All English team of officials is as stinky as an all Aussie judiciary.

Wales getting away with far too much - consistency is key -

this match is rapidly turning into the bullshit many of us faired from this RWC...

Why didnt Curry and Argie go off for HIAs then

Fiji just need to play in wales half.

you say that and I tend to agree with you .... however

If that tackle was made by a Fijian, Samoan, AB, SA, Aus....would it have been the same decision? I doubt it

I find that hard to believe when a no arms tackle aimed at the knee by Wales is ignored and 30 seconds later a seatbelt tackle of little consequence is penalised.

@Billy-Tell said in RWC: Wales v Fiji:

We’re trying to oblige as much as possible

Where’s the advantage from the knock on at the end there?

Fiji picked it and and would have blimming scored.

This refereeing is abysmal.

Biggar and sexton must have common ancestors. If biggar is not careful he’s going to get penalised for talking back to ref.

Fiji can win this for sure. Need to play smart but their backs are terrifying wales.

Biggar is really a dislikeable guy eh.

I note you left out Tonga - typical SH bias. Luckily, the NH has their back....

I think he's got more to worry about from a teammate who gets fed up of being screened at and clocks him.

Was just having same thought.. absolute shocker blew the whistle as soon as he dropped the ball!

Fantastic game. No idea who will win it but I think it will be settled by a single score.

Pretty scary refereeing differences between the four “bigger” matches thus far…,,
