Well this should be a good one. Everyone even some Scots fans have written Scotland off. I have a feeling the Bravehearts will cause the first upset of the tournament! Better get down to the bookies then because they're paying 4.9/1 :thumbup: Edit: England caused the first upset last night. I did b...

Tbh I've seen his YouTube footage. Brother is 'Rees' Lightning

Fiji have the players to win but this is the first time we've gone into a WC match against a tier one team ranked above them and either equal or slightly more favourites. Going in as an underdog is different than going in this time. The expectations comes with alot of pressure. As we've seen with Ar...

Good win Japan. Got your WC off to a good start. Chile well played. Good job on your first WC game!

Oceanbreeze

Chile have shown that the gaps in level of rugby below the tier one and top tier two teams are not as wide as they used to be.

Oceanbreeze

Good play from Japan.

Oceanbreeze

Japan players shoulder first contacted Chile players chest then head so mitigation there compared the the Curry one last night!

Oceanbreeze

That was accidental but still head contact so always card

Berry said he targeted the knee of the player who was in a vulnerable position is there some WR guidance on this ? Looked like he tripped before the tackle and ended up hitting the knee or at least that's what he'll say in his disciplinary hearing! 😊 Yellow = no disciplinary hearing Guess TMO agree...

That's more like it Japan

Oceanbreeze

Japan are putting alot of pressure on themselves. They need to to play smart rugby that we know is one of their strengths.

Oceanbreeze

Don't know why Japan just won't kick for penalty to build scoreboard pressure.

Oceanbreeze

I haven't really seen Chile play at all so don't know if Japan are going to run away with it here or not. Numbers 11, 15 and 6 are Fijian so looking forward to how they play and of course Japan overall. They looked poor in the Pacific Nations. Hopefully they pick up form and get back to something re...

Wow England that performance is absolutely incredible. Defence is the best by any team in the World Cup to date. Ford's drop goals applied pressure to Argentina and together with the defence it was flawless. Congratulations for the win. Hopefully that restores your confidence and catapults you into ...

Oceanbreeze

England's defence has been absolutely amazing.

Oceanbreeze

Now this is the England we all know!!

Oceanbreeze

That was a good conservative half from England. Argentina looks tired and playing without any shape. England keep up the solid defence in the second half and they're in with a chance. Ford's drop goals has clearly rattled the Pumas.

Oceanbreeze

Wow England really unlucky here!

Oceanbreeze

Wow this game is not even 10 mins and already TMO is busy.

Oceanbreeze

That's really unfortunate for Curry.

Oceanbreeze

Great response Ireland

Oceanbreeze

Wow Romania nice one

Oceanbreeze

Tuisova is coming back from injury so probably better to ease him back in sometimes in the second half. Botia I'm not sure what the coach is thinking apart from maybe he wants to start the back row combo that beat England and have Botia come in as an impact.

Oceanbreeze

Convincing win for France. Congratulations. NZ will regroup and refine their game with the rest of the pool games ready for the knockouts.

Oceanbreeze

Feels like France not really going all out yet.

Oceanbreeze

Nice one Ramos

What a start All Blacks

Oceanbreeze

All Blacks looks up for this!!

On the other hand if Tela has one of his usual days off then it becomes unpredictable even for us!!

Oceanbreeze

The Welsh will target Fiji's set pieces especially the lineouts. Hopefully the boys have done their due diligence. Don't need to have special or fancy moves. Just simple short or long like in the England game. As long as they win their own throws. Stay steady in the scrums and defend that maul. When...

Tela needs to show the form that we all know he possesses. He needs to boss the boys around and control them. Kick for territory and play in Wales half. He needs to show form too when kicking for goals. We're lucky to have Frank there as a backup kicker for goals That's very true bro. Forgot about ...

Relieved Tela got the nod at 10 finally and not Kuruvoli. Now just need Tela to have one of his rare "On" days!!

Fiji on the other hand is contemplating playing a scrum half at flyhalf a position he has never played before in professional club rugby let alone international. Our genius of a coach thinks putting him there in a WC game against a tier one team for the first time will actually a solution. This is o...

Oceanbreeze

I think he played 13 in the autumn internationals last year.

Oceanbreeze

If Fiji doesn't make it through Simon should be sacked. Not selecting our specialist fly half because of personal beef. Heard he pushed Cotter out and the training schedule of reconnecting with the roots and fitness training and game plans were all Cotter. All the Assistants and Naca trainer are the...
