Yep, thought Fiji was very hard done by against Wales, so sharing your Fiji love at the mo.

Should be a cracker, but it's on at 3:45am here in Aotearoa so I'll have to make do with a replay later in the day.

Not the greatest viewing time for my Fijian neighbours either, but they'll find a way to celebrate it regardless. :lol:

Fiji will undoubtedly be awake for it. Be an official govt day off if they win.

Ditto although I know WR will have issued instructions to the officials to ensure Aus win: hence that's my FR pick.

I suspect most of the neutrals are rooting for Fiji. Fingers crossed for a good game.

Why oh why for what might be one of the best games of this RWC have they employed the intellectual vaccuum that is Nolly Waterman to co commentate!!

So, no one has told Fiji that high tackles aren't flavour of the month.

It's her voice that is so annoying. I can screen out the commentators usually but not her whiney/screechy efforts. :evil:

Beer helps to dull it. Wine will also work I think.

She is absolutely brutal. Verbal diarrhoea in the most irritating voice imaginable.

Was thinking the same: this is no mug Aus unit. It will bum the Welsh scrum.

For once all the comms around how good it is for Fiji to be in SR isn’t just blowing smoke. You can see the results of that extra time together

Pity with no Muntz, Fiji can't rely upon pens with any surety.

And, critically, less fall out this time from players having to stay with clubs for money reasons.

I know I've said it a load of times, but not starting with Tuisova at centre and Botia in the backrow was a huger error against Wales.

What TF are the Fre ball boys doing there? One of them should have touched that immediately to prevent a quick Aussie throw. :evil:
