vBookie Fiji - Namibia

vBookie added

 

[ExcaLiBuR]

Fiji to rape, and win by 20+ points

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I wish Caucau was playing, he'd have a field day (for the 30seconds he's on the pitch, anyway)

 

[Co2en5]

i think Namibia has a chance, i mean its a pretty easy pool they found themselves in

 

[Bail]

Namibia is weaker and weaker, they just don't deserve their place in the competition. Fiji will look to beat his record winning margin (124-4) to scare the other three contenders for the quarter-finals.

 

[LittleGuy]

There is no way Fiji will beat Namibia by 120.

 

[Thingimubob]

Fiji to win this easily but not by 120 points gonna say 59 - 15

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Namibia is weaker and weaker, they just don't deserve their place in the competition. Fiji will look to beat his record winning margin (124-4) to scare the other three contenders for the quarter-finals.

They did qualify, right? Who else should be sent to the RWC? Zimbabwe? Ivory Coast? Kenya?

Well, they are ranked in the top 24 and did qualify. Who'd you have rather?

They are unlucky in that they find themselves in a very difficult pool. TBH this is the only game they stand a realistic chance at targeting but it will be difficult. I'd call a Fiji victory 38-15.

I agree with that scoreline this will be the game they will be targetting, I think Namibia are ranked 20th at the moment, the only two teams I could possibly see an argument being made for being there in, would be Uruguay and Portugal both of whom are almost exactly at Namibia's level if not below it.

 

[UilamOsa]

Fiji to rape, and win by 20+ points

Ewww...

I wish Caucau was playing, he'd have a field day (for the 30seconds he's on the pitch, anyway)

He'd still have a field day, there's a KFC not too far from the stadium. It's not too bad either.

 

[Muzzy]

Fiji will win but the score board will flatter them, either that or they'll only win by 10+ and blow a lot of scoring opportunities

 

[Muzzy]

things just getting worse for fiji. Nalaga, Goneva, Koto, Tagicakibau all injured and Ma'afu has a virus

 

[187]

things just getting worse for fiji. Nalaga, Goneva, Koto, Tagicakibau all injured and Ma'afu has a virus

I doubt they'll need them for this game.

 

[Muzzy]

I doubt they'll need them for this game.

Fiji only brought 3 wingers in their squad and all 3 of them are injured, Tagicakibau has recovered apparently, but its still a worry. Most squads have 14 backs but Fiji only picked 13, ridiculous. So this game might end up being a lot closer than people think

 

[WhoDaresWin]

To be frank, Fiji will run riot against the Namibians. They need to play an open attacking game (our normal game actually) and dont take them up front.

Nakarawa to start at locks and watch him run wild.


Fiji by a landslide.

Pretty strong looking team - probably not at full strength, but should be too good for Namibia.
