Think this try gets pulled back, Arnold 100% plays it on the ground.

Edit: Fiji stiffed there I think, but would be dangerous precedent if pulled up maybe?

 

[ripper868]

We are very very lucky to be with 4 at half time tbh. Fiji playing the better rugby, few knock ons creeping in again that are keeping us in it.

Not sure why Fiji have gone away from spreading it wide, easy 20-30m every time they do.

 

[ripper868]

Catch the ****ing ball.

 

[Uppercut]

Lol that’s a shambles.

 

[ripper868]

Not had the ball in the Fiji half for 25 minutes...let's keep putting nothing grubber kicks in behind vs one of the fastest back 3s in the competition...whatever these tactics are, they are ****.

 

[ripper868]

Not sure this kicking it dead from attacking positions to concede 60m of field position is working.

Again, the pair on comms need to learn the value of silence at times.

feel like this is a wider thing in English tv sports broadcasts, only cricket comms occasionally shut up and that's because they've got literally nothing to say

I'd take the Fiorentina game at this point.

Burgey is going to be very very pleased with this wallabies performance.

Has Batistuta scored yet?

 

[ripper868]

Ref is lightning quick on pinging us for holding on...most part it looks like Fiji are just hands on ground past the ball...but to be fair, our forwards aren't giving protection.

Fiji deserve this.

I was about to post about Fiji being close to their first over wins over England and Australia within a month, but Fiji have actually beaten Aus once before. It was in their first ever tour where they went 1-1 in Australia in 1952.

 

[ripper868]

I really hope that post is the knocker here Howe

15 zero attempt to wrap...stonewall penalty all tournament ffs

 

[ripper868]

And wtf is that....just wasted 2 minutes while 7 points behind...wtf...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

both Wallabies try scorers being eligible for Fiji is a bit on the nose

 

[ripper868]

Nawaqatinawase was born in Sydney tbf.

Well played Fiji. Absolutely battered us.

Not sure how the shoulder charge on Koro isn't a penalty but whatever, as our first try shouldn't of stood, so good with bad etc.

Wales by 20 next week.

And was Gordon injured or Hooked?

Would have had a penalty just outside the 22. Aus player should have taken his time getting up to give a chance to look at it as I'm sure pen could have been reversed even if it wasn't a yellow
