[RWC2023] Fiji vs Portugal (08/10/2023)

[pagliaccio_euforico]

would have been the greatest try I've ever seen

 

[dirty harry]

This commentators stats cant be right.

5/ 6 tries conceded by Fiji were lineout drives??

George North and LRZ definately scored lol

Fiji must have conceded more than 6 tries.

 

[West Country Wail]

This is such a great game. Fiji look rattled and confused why the stadium is not with them

 

[dirty harry]

Also Fiji havnt conceded a scrum penalty until now?!?! I'm sure Wales scored off scrum under pen advantage

Wasn't a penalty if you scored without the whistle being blown

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Portugal to win by 8+ and Eddie Jones Australia to beat England is the best outcome surely.

I'm not sure about that, a penalty advantage means a penalty has been conceded...

Goes to open law book lol

 

[Booboobang]

Think the rugby Europe International Championships deserves a good TV deal with the liked of portugal and georgia running riot in there.

Sir Eddie Jones vs. Sir Owen Farrell. Yes please!

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Wales scored 4 against them. Adams, North and LRZ not from a lineout drive. Stats on the TV were bull***

For narrative alone it would be amazing.

Big upset and press melt down. I hope it doesnt happen as and england fan, but outside the pain it would be hilarious to watch unfold.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

EJ telling Sexton to uppercut himself while Carter Gordon lifts the Webb Ellis is the timeline I want to live on

 

[Grizwald]

Fiji look like they expected just to run over the top of the Portuguese and so far haven't.

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

I'm hoping Portugal does pull off the big upset. More chance beating the Wallabies than Fiji

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I'd love to see how Australians balance saying rugby is dead outside the home nations, South Africa, and NZ while being saved by Portugal.

Face up to complete incompetence on their end? Never.

I am big on thinking WR needs to do more to capatalise on developing nations like portugal and uraguay popping up, but australias failures are no anyones fault but their own.

Was going to say I wonder if any of the protugal squad would be picked up after a impressive world cup, but had a google and most play in the D2 already. Really smart recruitment in teh french leagues.

They are running over Portugal....until the Ref intevenes........everytime they get anywhere near the Portugueeze line he blows for a Penalty/scum to Portugal...he missed a clear knock on by Portugal andn then awards them a penalty a few moments later......

The Ref is doing everything he can to keep Fiji out of the knock out rounds.....it is yet another disgrace of a game.

 

[OldSchoolRugga]

If Fiji lose this, then it will be the second world cup in a row they have been beaten by a much lesser team.
2019 - Loss to Uruguay.
