Peyper blew a much more onesided game on Friday :nod: :P You noticed that too? The ABs were really lucky, because it could have been a worse outcome without Jaco :P Rucks are still an area that is very inconsistently managed by refs, with variation from extremely strict to extremely lenient. This i...

Yes my apologies. Completely forgot to start one yesterday

Massive congratulations Wales, just so much heart and grit in getting that win.

flaggETERNAL

I'm reluctant to post this because they are my team but in the process of reviewing the Fijian try that was disallowed for a double movement which wasn't even initially seen by the referee, why wasn't a penalty or possibly cards not given when they were reviewing the Fijian try that was not given fo...

Without a good kicker there is no way Fiji can beat Australia.

flaggETERNAL

I'm absolutely sick and tired of brave performances!.

That's it

Nothing to see here

One more thing: Congratulations Wales! And I absolutely mean that.

flaggETERNAL

Why is this being refereed by a Welshman?

Good luck Australia, unfortunately I can't see you losing to Fiji

flaggETERNAL

The neutrals should be congratulating us on a great victory. They’re coming across as very bitter and un rugger like. Not me Derwyn. Thought Wales at times were very good and the defense was the best since Edwards was defense coach You would have made a great Welshman. That's not the compliment you...

Agreed. Apart from 80min every 4 years, they are my second team.

We honestly need to stop getting pooled together eh.

Best of luck in your next game.

flaggETERNAL

As a Fijian I'm obviously too close to it but how did Wales not get carded when conceding multiple penalties on their line but Fiji did after conceding 1. I'm genuinely trying to understand

flaggETERNAL

Congratulations Wales.

Hard luck Fiji. Thought we could have...but we didn't.

flaggETERNAL

Botia could teach Biggar a thing or two about class

flaggETERNAL

Even if we don't win this I'm pretty happy with how Fiji are playing.

flaggETERNAL

Is Biggar always like this?

If I were his teammate I'd be close to whacking him

Not worth a yellow, but to accuse him of playacting after taking a shot in the chops is a cünt's trick.

Jesus there's a fair amount of Welsh whining. Relax your team is on course to win

flaggETERNAL

holy hell what a try!!!

8-7 to Wales.

Exciting game so far

How do Wales have a national anthem when they aren't even a proper yknow nation?

For me, if Fiji reach the quarters after coming 2nd in our pool I'd be pretty happy.

Welshies, how do you feel about your bench? Besides Maqala, I really like the Fijian bench. Imagine being a Welsh defender looking up at 60 minutes to see Botia AND Tuisova coming on Mind, at that stage we'll probably be 20 points down :lol: Honestly, I feel confused. I watch both of the players yo...

I'm not into this mockers bollocks. Recent history shows us that when Wales execute a fit and hungry defensive system, Fiji struggle to break it down and they lose. The England match showed exactly what any team can do against a defensive system with systemic failures, and Fiji got far too much cre...

We're lucky to have Frank there as a backup kicker for goals

Oceanbreeze wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2023 10:32 am Relieved Tela got the nod at 10 finally and not Kuruvoli. Now just need Tela to have one of his rare "On" days!!

Fingers crossed bro.

That bench too looks pretty good.

Wales are still solidly the favourites imo but I can see this team beating them.

Any chance we may have had has been taken away by Muntz injury.
Man I'm so sick and tired of "brave perfromances'

Fiji an Wales have played 13 times IIRC. Wales 11W, Fiji 1W, 1 draw. It's nuts that anyone could think that Fiji have a chance. Watching highlights of the 2019 game between the 2, Fiji had a slight lead till the 60th minute and Wales just stayed patient and won 29-17. We all know this will happen ag...

So no chance for Volavola then? Tela was ok for the Drua. He should get the nod for Wales. Lomani is the guy who can control things if required. If Lomani starts we're toast. Only thing he can control lately is his ability not to provide fast ball. Maybe he needs a haircut to make his brain work a ...

Having watched back the Eng v Fiji game, they were some soft as shit tries that England gave away which i wouldnt expect them to do in a WC.

I voted Fiji because well, I'm Fijian but why is everyone else voting Fiji? You bustards will bring the mockers down on us. I can't see us winning this tbh.

Oh and top OP!

A magnificent win for Fiji. They’ve been building for a while now. The results on the weekend put Fiji’s comfortable win over Samoa into perspective for those Samoan fans who were withering in their criticism of the Samoan team. Fiji is a proper team these days. On their day they can beat any team....

Feel sorry for Farrell at this point but they should appeal . For the love of God. It's such a mess.

Why? It's not like this is the first time he's done this.
