[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1148006, member: 86934"] The scary part is, Fiji are doing what people have wanted for a generation, they are retaining ball, playing smarter and more European than ever before. When that is added to freakish ball carrying, strength at the breakdown, and then a decent kicking game it's hard to stop. When you consider the way Aus should never have been allowed the first try, Fiji unlucky not to be allowed to score their 2nd non try (the SH run through I get why was pulled back because he purposefully hit the player on the floor), if they somehow get the rub of the green from a ref instead of constant big defining moments go against them, they could be unstoppable. That said, I really do question their ability to get 2 more 5 pointers, with the emotional energy used in the last 7 days, injury just starting, and Georgia written off I can see a few errors creeping in. I hope I'm wrong, and Wales beating Aus takes the pressure off Fiji, but I just think if 1 team is to miss out by a fine margin Fiji may well be that team. [/QUOTE]
