[RWC2023] Wales vs Fiji (10/09/2023)

[IT157]

Wales really fell apart when biggar came off. A lot of questions about the welsh psyche.

They actually need the Biggar hair dryer treatment!

Where the **** have you been?

 

[ThebigARena]

True, you're actually a good sport

I'm saving this comment

Except that it wasn’t an absolute statement, was it? I said that I ‘believed’ Fiji would have topped the group. Never said that Fiji would absolutely 100% have dominated the group no questions asked.

Ok sorry I confused your belief with statement my bad

That game was great for [...] the sport

Massively disagree on that, it just emphasised how bush league officiating is at the top level of the sport

Where the **** have you been

A good question

 

[Rinkadink]

Wait, WTF are you doing here?

 

[Ddanno]

What did they convict you for?

 

[ThebigARena]

Forget about the Welsh win it's more about the return of @bushytop

 

[Summer Rose]

This match taught me what a 50/22 is!

England Argentina also did that but was nowhere near as entertaining in the process. SA game was even more questionable.

People want passion, contests and drama/excitement and the Wales Fiji match provided.

I thought Nick Tompkins was sensational and the partnership with North works. We should’ve snapped him when we had the chance

Sometimes it's great fun to see edits done to a refs Wikipedia page this is a small taster for Carley's page

Been an unbelievable start to the World Cup tbh… only feel a little rough for the jocks. Of all the 6N they were outstanding… not taking anything away from the other 5n though.

Did you miss Russell's in the previous match?

 

[staggy]

No idea what's happened in this thread but Secret Agent Semi did us a solid.

That game was great for neutrals and the sport, entertaining. Really hope Fiji use this to go on and beat Australia, there has to be an "upset" somewhere and looking at fixtures and form, this is one with some potential.

Don’t agree look at the 4 penalties no yellow 1 the other end and yellow, very unfair

I missed a fair bit of rugby today because I had church in the morning and live in the US. The matches were on at 7:00, 11:45, and 3:00 today for me.

Sorry, didn't know you were from the wrong side of the pond

Fiji beat Australia, then Australia beat Wales.

Goes down to bonus points and points difference

Fiji then go through
