It wasn't the Welsh but Carley.
And Brace gave it a go tonight with 3 tries
- Aus try from a clear, illegal turnover at the breakdown
- Fiji try was robbed when he failed to play advantage
- Aus f**king up their own quick throw on their own line was their problem. Fiji not being set was irrelevant?

Would have been priceless if Fiji denied Oz the bonus point but that would have made it harder to knock Wales out.

18 penalties! Obviously they were giving away a lot, but didn't realise the total got that high.
Absolutely insane that the Wobs didn't even get a warning, let alone a yellow, for repeated infringements.

That Nolli lady on the commentary was really decent. Really enjoyed her take on everything.
BTW are the English ever going to get over the fact Wales beat Fiji?
If Wales get out of the group, it is going to be the Jam Slam all over again.

If Fiji manage BP wins against both Georgia and Portugal they are guaranteed a quarter-final slot except for a solitary scenario where:
- 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.
- 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.

Fiji could've won by a lot more, left a lot of points on the park because of errors. They dominated basically everything other than the lineout.
Wallabies weren't in it really but played dumb rugby, binned some good positions with moronic offside penalties. Wallabies = stupid.
Wales should beat the Wallabies on what we've seen so far. Wallabies then pay for selecting rookies for a RWC by bombing out in the pool stage, having never fired a shot.

Awarding the first Australia try was a bit of mistake surely? Blatant playing on the ground by the Aussie tackler. Fiji the slightly less dumb of the two overall.

Brace was little better. Just that Fiji picked a better team and Aus were exceptionally poor. But yes, were it not for Carley, either Aus or Wal were going home.
