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

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 ?

sparky

C’mon Fiji!

Billy Tell

Fiji playing well. Should have taken the PK rather than the fluffed line outs.

Tim

Jesus Christ, have the SAS not been given orders to take that woman out yet?

So painful.

Valentini is a proper unit.

Strong boy.

MajorStokes

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?

sparky

Fiji try!!!!!!!!

Billy Tell

Welsh fans gotta be loving this…

sparky

Aussie 8 Fiji 17

Bad mistake. Score board pressure mounting

MajorStokes

TMO checking every possible thing here ....

Fiji have found a kicker!

Tim

I got massively pumped by that, then thought "TMO will check everything here, and three minutes later it will be no try."

sparky

Aussie 8 Fiji 19.

Beautiful.
