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.

NTA

Too late to get on Fiji?

There’s far more Fijians in this game than Australians

Just like there were more South Africans than Scotsmen?

Not South Africans, just guys from lesser known Dutch sounding clans from the highlands.

Don’t forget Sione from the Tuipulotu clan too

You do have to hand it to Jack Dempsey though, most guys start playing for a big team then move to the minnows, not the other way round.

Victor Meldrew

Not wanting to be an arrogant Kiwi supporter and loving watching Fiji play, but I'll take the Haka against the Fijian Cibi any day

MiketheSnow

Is there an anti-helium that they can give the female ITV commentators please?

My ears are bleeding and the dog won’t settle

Victor Meldrew

@MiketheSnow

Yeah, she's grating isn't she? Think Rikki Swannell is second only to Andrew Cotter but this woman's voice could shred carrots. Pity as what she says is pretty good.

She’s god awful.

Fiji need to stand deeper, so many times they are stopping to catch a pass.

MiketheSnow

Fiji scrum looks solid

Jailbreak7

Shane. Would have loved Fiji to have a crack

MiketheSnow

Penalty against Arnold

That’s worse than any of the calls against Wales

KiwiMurph

The standard of refs... jeez

MajorStokes

Could a ref explain how that was ok from Oz on the ground?

@MajorRage according to ITV comms, he was playing the arm, not the ball. Think they need their eyes tested.

Ref and tmo having a shocker.

Still on the ground so should be out of the game

@KiwiMurph agreed. I liked that they came up with a reason for saying it was ok πŸ˜‚

Always thought scrum halves were immune from discipline

Yeah I heard that and I call bullshit.

TMO cleared it tho, so the question is, why?

Tim

Bell does a lot of good stuff. Good contest this.

Tim

"He's a complete savage ..." jesus christ lady, calm down ...

@Tim how to nuke your TV career before it even starts

MiketheSnow

Fiji playing great Test rugby

Jailbreak7

@Tim She's going to be censured for that lol

Tim

God damn her voice is like a buzz saw.

Tim

Great kick from Petaia

Victor Meldrew

Lots of penalties by Oz forwards. Fijian lineout a bit poo.

KiwiMurph

Good contest but very little flow

MiketheSnow

Fiji May rue those shit linesout
