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.
Sweating yet?
Nah. Never used that left one anyway

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.
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
Is there an anti-helium that they can give the female ITV commentators please?
My ears are bleeding and the dog won’t settle
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.
Penalty against Arnold
That’s worse than any of the calls against Wales
Could a ref explain how that was ok from Oz on the ground?
@stodders said in RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji:
@MajorRage according to ITV comms, he was playing the arm, not the ball. Think they need their eyes tested.
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 
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?
Lots of penalties by Oz forwards. Fijian lineout a bit poo.
@KiwiMurph said in RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji:
Good contest but very little flow
Who cares
Great contest
Rivetting

God damn her voice is like a buzz saw.
You seem to luckily have cloth ears - she's fucking worse than that.

Do you still think the same ?
Fiji playing well. Should have taken the PK rather than the fluffed line outs.
Jesus Christ, have the SAS not been given orders to take that woman out yet?
So painful.
ITV coverage just questioned why that last line out needed to be called back given that the Fiji defence was already set & it was the Aussies that messed it up.
Second question for a ref ... if the throwing side is not set, do you call the line out back?
