A Portugal win by less than 7 is probably the most fair outcome for all involved.

The Portuguese coach deserves a lot of credit. They are a bloody good team. Well-drilled with unreal effort areas.

Making the Quarters with a loss to Portugal and what should have been a loss to Georgia is hardly a fair outcome

They're probably a little more deserving than the dross that we served up.

Best outcome for World Rugby.
So good to see Portugal get a win, they have been so strong.
Hopefully Fiji can pull it together for next week, would love to see them get through to the Semi-Finals

Great game by Portugal. And very happy for Fiji as a country to make the quarter finals. A great result for world rugby. It would have been tragic if Fiji missed out on the quarter finals if they lost by 8. Australian rugby can recover. But this is huge for Fiji. Lets all hope they bring their A game against England.

It doesn't feel right that two of Ireland, South Africa, France and the ABs will be gone by this time next week.

And it doesn't feel right that England and Wales are likely through to the Semi

Spot on, despite being very over hyped and over rated, Fiji are still not there yet
losing to Uruguay 4 years ago and now Portugal and almost Georgia
They only made it through in the lowest quality pool in the history of the tournament with 2 wins, against the worst wallabies team in history missing its best players
reality is there not good enough to be in discussion for the WC
England should win easy next week, but a game against Fiji won’t prepare them well for the big 4

Just the way it is when WR (World Rugby) does the draw three years out and way too early
completely agree though

Neither do Fiji…
Wales would go home early if they were in Scotlands position or any of the other pools

Amazing. What a game - the best outcome for everyone:
1) Portgual win, first and foremost
2) Fiji go through, deservedly, even though their performances are slowly getting worse
3) Wallabies go home, which is the best outcome for Australian Rugby in the professional era. Time to reset the clocks and make some fucking changes.

They shut them down with hard tackling and attacked the breakdown, we did little in both areas.
