Why aren't Fiji in the Rugby Championship?

Would benefit them and world rugby so much.

by **Pal Joey** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:19 pm

Yeah, this all or nothing approach from Fiji really gets the pulse up. Great to watch.
Wales starting to look more composed now.

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:22 pm

by **BigGee** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:22 pm

Wales look like they have woken up now and starting to put the squeeze on, did Adams get in there?

They don't look confident

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:23 pm

Cueto 2007 all over again!

by **BigGee** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:23 pm

Close one this

Might have to go with the on field decesion

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:24 pm

TMO is useless. its not a try ffs.

Radio 5 live commentator has just made the same comment

by hugehandoff Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:24 pm

too close....Fiji lucky to escape that one

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:25 pm

Watch Francis's angle here!

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:26 pm

Turning in again!

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:28 pm

Thats a harsh Yellow, Ref was getting in the way and blocking their view.

by **BigGee** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:28 pm

Another Fijian in the bin, indiscipline is going to cost them this game

by hugehandoff Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:28 pm

In the red zone again so Fiji cannot really complain

by LordDowlais Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:29 pm

How is that tackle in AWJ not being looked at ?

by **Pal Joey** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:29 pm

Another yellow. A bit of a false start there from Kunatani. But that's the law...
Those hits.. has to take a toll.

Because it was his own made who made it look worse.

It was. Fijian was ok, but didn't Francis hit AWJ in the head?

by **BigGee** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:31 pm

Adams costs two tries and then scores two

I guess that makes him about even at the moment

by LordDowlais Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:31 pm

Also the late hit on Biggar ???

How was that not looked at ?

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:31 pm

Fiji need to keep their discipline, don't turn the ref against you.

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:32 pm

LordDowlais wrote:Also the late hit on Biggar ???

It was a push in the back, he could have smashed him. Owens was worse and very lucky to be on the field.

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:33 pm

Botia was awesome.

Thats a lose to Fiji

by hugehandoff Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:33 pm

Wales doing all the right things at the moment. They can continue to take Fiji's legs away during the rest of this yellow.

by **LondonTiger** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:34 pm

The TMO looks at everything, but only notifies ref if there is an issue. You can regularly here feedback being given to the ref during play (well you can hear it when the commentators shut up)

by **BigGee** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:36 pm

Bit lucky there James Davies could have been penalised for the knock down

by **Pal Joey** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:37 pm

Williams just got Kerevi'd... ref & assistants seemed to miss that.

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:38 pm

No9 offside once again and once again gets away with it.

Consistency please Ref.

by **BigGee** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:40 pm

Wow, Parkes should have passed that

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:40 pm

Ref in the way again and that is a scrum penalty to Fiji!

He's clearly been onside all game. Given your history for constantly posting this garbage on our match threads and bans, it's probably not a good idea to continue it here.

by BigTrevsbigmac Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:41 pm

Poor from Parks there

by tigertattie Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:41 pm

Thats about as forward a pass as you'll see.

Both of you please, this has been a good thread that we are all enjoying!

Great game for the neutrals!

I saw Davies step offside at one stage but he didn't interfere with play. If you step offside and then step back without affecting play, the referee won't penalise you. If you step offside and then go to make the tackle, as the Fijian did, the referee will penalise you. There's nothing inconsistent about that.

by BigTrevsbigmac Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:42 pm

Yellow cards the difference. Otherwise well matched with Fiji shading the scrums

by **RiscaGame** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:43 pm

Straight line out again.

by Old Man Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:43 pm

Good match this, nice and toit.

The Fijian stepped back then tackled the player, no difference apart from the previous three scrum penalties!

Which scrum?

Mikey you didn't even bother to start a match thread or did any of you Welsh posters!

Why is that?

by **RiscaGame** Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:44 pm

Good half by Wales in the end. Now they've hopefully got their break out of their system. Bound to be a big start from Fiji again, so we need to weather that storm better. Fijian 14 showing our outside backs how to tackle.

by tigertattie Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:45 pm

Why didnt Fiji kick the ball for a lineout? Theyd surely have been able to get up to the 10m line and look to attack or at least try play for another penalty?

Tapping it then kicking it out jsut seems a bit negative and looks like they dont want to try play. Very un-Fiji

Enough both of you, last warning

by TightHEAD Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:47 pm

Good game thou.

The Rugby Championship should sign Fiji up. If they were exposed to this level of competition regularly they would be a match for mos of the top teams in the world.

Only if other countries stopped nicking their players though. Very Happy

by BamBam Wed Oct 09, 2019 12:50 pm

Wales superior fitness is going to tell in the last 20 mins, but if Fiji come out of the blocks in the 2nd half like they started the 1st, then it could get a bit hairy

I predict a 15 point Wales victory from here
