Now I understand a bit of tyre pumping from broadcasters, but come on.
Yip no way either of these 2 poor teams that have been easily beaten in the group stages would have even progressed in the knock out stages let alone win the RWC.

Scotland and OZ level is where it ....out at the group stages

France NZ SA and Ireland are the only teams that can win this RWC.
No other teams get a look in

That break in the 1st half was the same. The only support was from Matavesi and one other fwd. The backs were all jogging.

I was just about to post that they looked almost as if they were deliberately throwing it. Then they scored

I was thinking a bit of amateur dramatics going on. A bit of a pause before the 'maybe' performance started.

Sure, but where there's life, there's hope. He's very much a glass half full kinda guy.

IF Fiji get through, surely they can't all have tits for hands for the full 80 mins against Eng?

We'll match them tit for tits and hand for hands.

Fiji look completely rattled. If Portugal get up the other end there’s a good chance this is all over

Aus need Portugal to win by 8.

Though I’m not entirely sure if Fiji lose by more than 8 but get a BP.

Is it for and against before head to head? If so, a loss by more than 8 even with 4 try bp would see Fiji packing
