[RWC2023] Fiji vs Portugal (08/10/2023)

[dirty harry]

Did lomani just punch a Portuguese forward in that ruck?!

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Fiji has terrible ball placement

 

[Jimbo]

Fiji really do seem to up the pace late in games is this part of their game plan?

 

[IT157]

This is gutsy defense by Portugal

 

[IT157]

That Fiji pass looked like every New Zealand pass...

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Since when are you allowed to be off your feet in the breakdown and diving into clear out? Fiji is doing it all the time

 

[Ddanno]

Can't get away with that unless you're wearing black you silly boy

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

This is gutsy defense by Portugal

It s not just gutsy. It is very smart. They appear to understand well when to commit and when not to.

 

[dirty harry]

All the credit in the world to Portugal there, what pressure, up hard off the line, attacking the breakdown.

I'm not buying Fiji are making mistakes, Portugal are forcing errors

 

[Booboobang]

A European championship every two years?

I am for anything that leads to more money and/or exposure to higher competition for what are now very promising tier two nations.

 

[Ddanno]

Some really braindead errors from Fiji

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Idk why Fiji just aren’t doing crash balls to tuisova. You think they could stop him?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Alright we found the angle for side entry to be called against attack. The standard has been set.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Considering how often they're getting the openside in space down the wing you'd have thought they'd maybe put a back there instead

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Wasnt that off side?

 

[Ferrari333SP]

I bet some of these Portuguese should get some decent Top 14 / Premiership offers after this tournament

That 22 year old lock who is called the line outs.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is the camera way lower this tournament?
I feel like I've seen it on camera way more often and that's the third time it's been hit this round alone

 

[General Melchett]

Eddie Jones is asking for Craig Joubert to take over as TMO
