[QUOTE="Jbobo, post: 733114, member: 62085"] I could see Samoa turning over SA, but it is still unlikely. Easily the best Pacific islands team. I can't see Fiji winning against any of the bigger three teams, but I think if Fiji can compete in the forwards, they could conceivably challenge Australia as I think they have the weaker of the big there's packs, if Fiji throw it about and are very accurate, they could conceivably challenge Wales, as of the big three they have a bigger chance of being caught on the counter arguably with the most flat defense. And if Fiji manage to keep England out of their try line and are accurate in their attacks and limit their unforced mistakes, they could conceivably challenge England, as they have the less dangerous back line of the big three. In my opinion, before the English jump me. Still has to be said, if as many predict is the most likely (vehemently disagree) Wales lose to Fiji, It would be the biggest upset id ever have seen. Wales are being underestimated and the effect of playing England before overstated. I think people are still comparing this welsh team to re one in 2007. The current team is lightyears ahead on all facets, not least skill. On the big stage, they will thrive similarily to 2011. I love Fiji, but I expect Wales to win by at least 30. Maybe even more if Fiji don't play well like 4 years ago. We shall see [/QUOTE]
