Rugby World Cup 2023

That sucks for Fiji, was really hoping to see them light it up.

But it's good for us because I was pretty concerns about them lighting us up!

Just a shame he couldn't last till the Wales game. Would love nothing else to see them get some pacific pummeling.

100%. I hope they absolutely run a train on them. Let them stay in touch until the 60th minute then just rain righteous length-of-the-field counter attacking tries on them.

This is a huge loss for them.

Fiji always have the weapons but it felt they had proper direction with this bloke. He was also a very good kicker giving them the ability to take the 3 and get you behind/extend a lead.

Any word on the replacement? Kemu V could be a hero off the bench just like the Drua games

That would be glorious

I may be a bit drunk and tired, so that caveat aside, this is a shithouse chart.

Also, I’m certain Ireland should overlap with favorites, and no chance of making it past the quarters…

Yep we in the position where one of the favourites to win will exit by QFs, and indeed one of top 5 ranked teams won't even make it that far.. But the chart/diagram is pretty well done and reasonably accurate, could maybe swap slightly places , but pretty bang on.

Gonna be toasty for the daytime matches.

^ & likely yo be still in mid- to high 20's when AB kick off.

Bodes particularly well for Fiji against Wales. With a core of drua players very used to the heat they couldn't ask for better conditions against a northern side.

More than that Dan. Two of NZ, SA, Ireland and France will drop out in the Quarters.

Add Scotland to that list and make it three to drop out in the Quarters.

Doesn’t look like it but a little bit of drizzle in the heat would make it even worse.

Going to be a lot of oldies kicking the bucket in those temperatures.

What is with the continued use of "Squads" to describe team announcements.

Surely the Squad is the 33 man group
The Team/Side is the 23 on match day

We’ll be calling it a ‘Roster’ soon. I hate the term ‘finishers’ just as much.
