Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

[Burgey]

What does this even mean?

That it becomes a completely fringe sport, sort of off the radar like synchronised swimming until the Olympics come around and sevens is a thing people watch. That’s the dream. We’re about 3/5ths there

 

[Burgey]

Hey Pot. I apologise for the unwarranted barb at your sport of choice.

Don’t apologise. Own it!

Tbf, Fiji won the most recent gold medal in 7s, so going down by only one try to the current Olympic Champions, it suddenly doesn't sound so bad.

 

[Burgey]

Such a good joint, Fiji. Only place I’ve ever traveled where I get off the plane and am relaxed before I get through customs.

 

[ripper868]

Portugal pushing to be considered in that Georgia for 6N chat...

 

[ripper868]

that chat becoming a wee bit of a shout

 

[ripper868]

Oh man I wanted Portugal to kick that. great game overall.

1 breakdown, 1 penalty

Wallabies never learn

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wow!!!!

 

[ripper868]

well ****.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Three words:

Need Dave Rennie.

 

[ripper868]

Better phase that for Aus, solid defence for Wales, glad to come away with some points at least.

 

[ripper868]

Angus Bell is so hot right now.

This could be an epic test match but for very different reasons than the one last night. Probably already more unforced errors in 13 minutes than all 80 yesterday.

 

[ripper868]

Donaldson did so well to make that break, just need to look right and it was try time. Hurts.

Wallabies not yet tested on defense, and cracked quickly when they were. Lucky to not give up 3 . Praise be to the post.

Feel for Biggar as well, but no reason he should be playing v such minnows.

Is there much interest/hype about this match in Oz, or is it all NRL/AFL finals with a bit of India ODIs thrown in?

Wallabies are a rabble

fk knows what they do at training

I'm not in Aus, but I'd say the interest is somewhere between "can I kick them again while they're down" and "happily ignored"

Nobody cares about the cricket

Only talk about the Wallabies is that the game is absolutely ****ed here & Eddie is a ****

Media is looking forward to piling on

 

[ripper868]

Well. That turning down 3 points and gifting a lineout in own 22 is just so Wallaby
