[RWC2019][Pool D] Round 1 - Australia vs. Fiji (21/09/2019)

[Reiser99]

Fiji lost their discipline. Shame, but Australia should punish them now.

 

[Goodey]

There's the card then. Seems an odd thing to post when they're a point up, but Fiji are done.

Edit: Yep.

 

[bushytop]

Good shift from the hooker.

Kick for touch
Maul try
Repeat

Think a few of those mail pull downs were harsh.

Also the yellow completely different situation to what they were warned for.


I think a top team would be getting away with a bit more than Fiji have in the past 10.

At least we know what antelope card offence looks like now...

I just texted this to Gats.

See Fiji need to compete at the lineout, because they can't defend a maul.

 

[User1245]

Man this Japanese crowd is fantastic. Fully behind both sides

 

[bushytop]

Could be a long 13 minutes for Fiji I'm afraid.

 

[Reiser99]

If Fiji can survive the rest of the YC period they have a chance to steal it.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What was Fiji's biggest lead? Just up

Yeah that doesn't look like it's gonna happen now, big shame

What was Fiji's biggest lead? Just up

21-12 just after half time.

 

[Reiser99]

11 points and 2 tries. Fiji could get 1 losing bonus potentially. They deserve it.

 

[bushytop]

Awesome try, JOC's pass was exquisite... and the catch at full speed poetry in motion.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fiji deserve better than this scoreline

 

[Reiser99]

Australia letting loose now. Fiji just haven't had anything in the last 30.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Genia been a massive upgrade on White.
