RWC Week 2: Australia
Match thread
Fiji
@Billy-Tell how important was that Faletau BP try last night!
@Steve said in RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji:
NZ humping OZ twice a year looks like stat padding at this stage.
Oh look. More negativity.
Huge opportunity now for Wales and Warren Gatland to dump Australia out of this competition.
@Steven-Harris Drua have been a huge benefit for them.
Brilliant! Hopefully Wales can finish off Oz and knock them out, it would be fantastic to see Fiji qualify. That should be a cracking game next Sunday.

2nd 40 reffing question marks notwithstandingโฆ itโs a massive scalp
Whole fucking 80
Fiji should have been up 26-3 if those fuckwits could of officiated properly
@Victor-Meldrew said in RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji:
Though Brace did really well in this game. Good reffing compared to last week with Carley.
Blind Freddy would have done better this week
Very low bar
Brace and team made three massive mistakes / non-calls in the first half
Which just goes to show that you cant go into an international match without a top quality 7. You will get hammered at the breakdown
@game_film said in RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji:
Is that the worst possible outcome for Wales?
Not the best but not fatal
Obviously a win over Australia is the best result for us, but a loss within 7 scoring 4 tries should see us through
And a win against Georgia
The confidence of the Australian squad must be incredibly low. That was a must win game for them and they lost it.

Eight Drua players in the 23.
It will be interesting what that number will be in the future, after a few more years of SRP.
@MiketheSnow Just wait til they call up Kurtley Beale.
Great for Fiji and great for the game. Eddieโs been here before, but on the other side of the bargain. But as Iโve said before, Dave Rennie is cackling and rolling a blunt right now.
Eddie Jones โif you look at the stats today, we dominated.โ
Not the stat that matters most, Eddie, not that one.

Eddie very gracious and honest in defeat
By saying they dominated them and scored 2 tries to 1?

Prior to that
Wow , just watched the second half before going live to the poms v japs ,
Well done Fiji, just texted my Fijian uncle in his 80s , he is stoked .reckons itโs time for some kava 
Just saw result. Ha ha. Fลฏck you Eddie. I'll bet Dave Rennie is giggling like a fลฏcking school girl. Karma be a bitch.
Got up and saw the score - but not looking good for Eddie or McLennan's decision to arse Rennie.
Great result for Fiji - they deserve to go through and should have beaten Wales to lock in their QF spot.
Club recruitment for 2024 just got a shitload harder...

Iโm definitely above any sort of digs at Australia out of principleโฆ.
โฆ.but you guys desperately need a new coach and a major shake up. Commiserations. Eddie is a dick and past his use by date.
But fucken well done Fiji, this on top of England last month is a massive shake up.
Wales/Australia will be a huge game.

Can't believe 10 of y'all voted Fiji - I get going against the grain, better odds etc, but I'd bet my left nut on Oz winning this comfortably.
Do you still think the same ?
I feel 3kgs lighter!
