Great win, Fiji. Hope you make it into the knock-outs.

What's that now for Eddie, 1 win from his first 6 tests in charge?

They're still world champions at aussie rules footie.
:lol:
They’re not even that, actually… the world championship of Aussie rules isn’t contested by Australia as the other entrants are very amateur.

I think we need to perform a welfare check on @Deepsouth, he's been very quiet lately.

- Australia v Wales match is a BP win for Australia with Wales collecting one BP; and
- Australia finish the pool with the best points difference; and
- Australia and Wales both collect BP wins v Portugal and Georgia respectively.

Essentially, FIji have qualification almost entirely in their own hands.
It is entirely in their own hands, they simply need large points differences (and 4 try BPs of course).

Given the Aus situation, could we see a game where Australia, if they manage to get 4 tries, have a genuine interest in allowing Wales to get a BP? It's their best chance of progressing.

Aussies are renowned for being unwilling to, ahem, bend the rules in any circumstances

It just wouldn’t be cricket, would it?
