[RWC2023] Wales vs Fiji (10/09/2023)

[ThebigARena]

I was never a supporter of taking back gatland but I do think under pivac today we lose badly . I have to give Warren his dues he normally gets it right when it comes to business time

 

[AlRums]

And the parole officer's name is Carley

That fella that escaped from Wandsworth wants to consult with Carley

True, with Pivac at the helm not even the ref could've saved you

 

[Welsh Exile]

I was actually angry a little bit for Fiji in the moment. Was weird. Don't forget that really bad call at a crucial time in the first half with the no arms tackle that Carley thought was no clear foul play and we got a goal line drop out out of it.

Obviously il take it but **** that's so harsh on Fiji.

 

[dullonien]

Absolutely no denying that Wales played really well today, and if the ref lets you cheat - keep on cheating, it's rugby, cheating well is all part of it.

But sorry, Wales would not have won that, playing the same way (complete with cheating) with a competent ref.

Probably tbf, but who knows really. Fiji still had an opportunity in the end, but unfortunately knocked the ball on with the try line beckoning. Feel for them, I really do, but I 'aint going to deny that I'm happy we won

All we can hope is that us and Fiji beat Australia and we both qualify but that's a perfect scenario

Yeah exactly this. Then they can beat England again in the qtr final.

 

[SG59_]

I can see them beating Australia.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

It's a 50/50 weekend for me based on results.

**** I love the World Cup

Oh and most of you are total pricks until 28 October.

Pricks.

 

[Jimbo]

Awesome. so can you tell me who wins the world cup with your crystal ball so I can put a huge bet on?

I don't want to get into a negative debait with one of the few Welsh fans remaining here or derail this, with comments like this your not making it easy it's fair to say that you believe with a descent goal kicker Fiji would have wanted to keep the score board ticking over instead of being forced to go for touch all the time, which would have quite probably change the overall scoreline not to mention muntz from the few games I've seen is a significant upgrade on todays 10, a crystal ball really isn't required here this is just sensible logic, it's a belief many will share.

 

[ThebigARena]

Hehe I wasn't thinking that far ahead there

 

[dullonien]

I can see them beating Australia.

I hope you're right, but few teams get dragged into crazy games like this is the way Wales do.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Wales really fell apart when biggar came off. A lot of questions about the welsh psyche.

Okay I'm not disagreeing that Fiji would of been stronger with muntz but it's still isn't a computer game and it's too easy to say Fiji would of won there are too many dynamics and nuances involved in the game to make absolute statements like that.

I am not deserving of such an accolade.

 

[Rinkadink]

No idea what's happened in this thread but Secret Agent Semi did us a solid.

That game was great for neutrals and the sport, entertaining. Really hope Fiji use this to go on and beat Australia, there has to be an "upset" somewhere and looking at fixtures and form, this is one with some potential.

Except that it wasn't an absolute statement, was it? I said that I 'believed' Fiji would have topped the group. Never said that Fiji would absolutely 100% have dominated the group no questions asked.

True, you're actually a good sport
