I'll do something

 

[ncurd]

Swear to God if they get there before us...

I wonder what the bookies are offering.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

The Wallabies are running into contact. The tactic is not working. Australia keep doing it. It's idiotic.

Never say never. Australia, England and very nearly Fiji have cleared up such deficits to beat Wales within the last year.

 

[General Melchett]

Dave Rennie's pay off looks like money well spent - not.

Two tries separate the teams
Was it predictable or AUS Playing worse than expected?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Where is Eddiecam? He must be fuming.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Running into contact, again and again

 

[Amiga500]

The inmates will be getting restless now...

 

[Reiser99]

Australia need to be squeaky clean now because they need two converted scores just to draw. They have to attack, but Fiji will counter anything.

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Never say never. Australia, England and very nearly Fiji have cleared up such deficits to beat Wales within the last year.

If they're going to do that they need a plan B. Trying to pass the ball for starters or maybe a couple of cross-field kicks

 

[Ceteris]

Should have called the mark there

Depends what you mean by predictable. I expected Fiji to win, as did another mate. Fiji have a strong team that recently beat England. Australia had a terrible URC and have taken an incredibly young/inexperienced team to the World Cup.

It was still anticipated to be a close game though. Australia always tend to do pretty well at a World Cup.

Not as mad as the crowd are at him

Maybe not so much predictable i thought last week would have taken more out of Fiji physically but they are relentless, the loss they didn't really deserve probably sharpen focus, this is a must win so they do have slightly more riding on it than Aus.

EJ's next purchase

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Easy to say which side the crowd is on

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Aussie very nearly lost the ball on the line.

Thanks.
I follow Italy and know few of World rugby

Line out has been shocking all game.
