@MN5 said in RWC Week 2: Australia v 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.

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

@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.

Fiji scrum looks solid

Shane. Would have loved Fiji to have a crack

Penalty against Arnold

That’s worse than any of the calls against Wales

The standard of refs... jeez

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

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?

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

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

@Tim

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

Fiji playing great Test rugby

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

God damn her voice is like a buzz saw.

Great kick from Petaia

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

Good contest but very little flow

Who cares

Great contest

Rivetting

Fiji May rue those shit linesout

You seem to luckily have cloth ears - she's fucking worse than that.

@voodoo said in RWC Week 2: Australia v Fiji:

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 ?

C’mon Fiji!

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.

Valentini is a proper unit.

Strong boy.

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?

Fiji try!!!!!!!!

Welsh fans gotta be loving this…

Aussie 8 Fiji 17

Bad mistake. Score board pressure mounting

TMO checking every possible thing here ....
