Not sure Fiji can win this in multiples of three...

they aren't going to win in multiples of anything, loving their spirit though. not loving the ABs killing the play with cynical penalties though, just play footy

How's that penalty count looking now?

 

[KOB1987]

Don’t worry about releasing the ball right in front of the ref. Even your commentators picked up on it, fuck me sideways.

Ioane 40 min watch: Three Fijian's run his way, three Fijian's sent backwards. One turnover earned (by driving the carrier into touch). Good post-contact metres made on both his carries. Two lineout wins. Pretty sure he wasn't offside either.

nothing to do with the count, it was the nature of a couple in a row about 20 minutes in just designed to kill momentum

You not a fan of Murphy then KOB?
I did think he called time on a tad quick when Reece scoed his 3rd try.

Think Akira is going not bad at all zer0

Cotter AND Ryan in Fiji's coaching setup? That's some top tier forwards coaching. Helps explain a few things.....

If your referring to DMac I agree 100%, no way he released at any point during his double (triple?) pirouette.

That was the one

Richie v Beaugan debate surely settled (until we next lose with RM at 10, of course )

Ioane second half watch (26 mins): One tackle halting the carrier. One tackle driving the carrier backwards. One cover tackle. Two turnovers earned (strip in a tackle, forced knock-on). Post-contact metres made on his three carries. First forward back after Volovola's intercept. Offside penalty was tight but looked more legitimate than the first one.

I know personally I'd rather see a real contest.

Lomani looks to be better than Sorovi.

Ioane second half watch

His brother the midfield back looked quite handy when he came off the bench and was chucked onto..... the wing.

I like the look of this with BB as 22. I say the same with reiko Ioane, looks like it works as him at 23.

What can you do, I thought Fiji made it a reasonable contest.

Am I right in saying that we could overhear the stadium announcement putting the crowd 20k? Meaning more people turned up to watch the fucken Blues than the All Blacks?
