[QUOTE="RC, post: 152418"] They lost by 17 points. They're out of the world cup. Okay...erm...yeah, congratulations Fiji!!! :blink: [/b][/quote] They got further than they expected, played lovely rugby and went off with a smile on their face, why shouldn't they get a congratulations. Plus they got further than Wales and Ireland. [/b][/quote] My point is i'd hate to be patronised like that. You know, "they got further than Wales and Ireland" are you going to patronise Scotland like that as well? You know, they were ranked lower than Wales and Ireland before the pool stages and now they've gotten into the quarters are you going to adopt the same attitude? You know the get-down-on-one-knee-and-scruff-up-their-hair kinda congratulations as if they're an 8 year old kid. Please, get off your high horse. And Fiji and "lovely rugby" should come with a serious disclaimer. Fiji Rugby Disclaimer: This team may come with some cynical, typical, illegal islander-esque tackles. Not saying they didn't deserve to be there. Wales were made to look like amateurs (which, if it weren't for the millions the players were getting paid in Wales every year, i'd be convinced we were) it just everyone seems to be looking at the underdogs with some seriously rose-tinted glasses. Lol. [/QUOTE]
