Hell you didn't think so? I thought they were bloody good, both teams were I thought. I would think we will be lucky to see many more games as good as that!

They are playing their footy but with discipline, they were in that to the 82 minute. It will be on when they play us.
I thought the ref could have sat down Welsh players when they kept infringing on their line.

At the time when they were down 32-14, even so this is a very poor Welsh side many thought they’d beat, they need consistent results to prove themselves

One of the best games I've seen in a while, if you miss it you are mad. Fiji are fit as and we will find it hard to hold them. Wales was bloody lucky and both teams played their hearts out.

I thought Wales were far better than they have been and it is a testament to their D and BD work plus that final dropped pass that killed Fiji.

Well Fuuuuck. Great game to watch.
Makes the next game even more important. Wallabies can book the next round by beating Fiji and giving them 2 losses.
I’d be picking a big Backrow. Fiji love the pick n go and are very good at it. McReight might be better used v Wales and let Gleeson, Kemeny play 7 in this one.

I didn't watch the full game but am aware of the chat about the inconsistent refereeing of penalties vs cards, specifically that it contributed to the Welsh win.
Big games often boil down to small moments and the decision to throw a 25m cut out pass over two attackers with a big overlap was one of those moments. Catch and pass, let Radradra do his thing. Fiji should have won it but were their own downfall.

I know you don't always get those small moments in the mini matches, but I just watched the mini-replay and there were a couple of times the Fiji boys really let themselves down.
There was a knocked on try (which was a very close call from the TMO), and a few other times when they were on the attack and turned over the ball in contact or via a penalty.

Was it Whites Shoulder that was looking a bit cooked?
Start fines and hope to get at least 60 out of him and have White on the bench.

I've a feeling White was just doing White things & trying to milk a penalty as he looked fine not long after......
Agreed with the starting Fines thing then bringing on White if he's having a mare.

Nah, I reckon he was genuinely in some pain. It might have been a stinger that wore off but I won't be surprised if the there is a late announcement about a more serious injury. If that's the case though it is getting late to replace him or Tate under the 48 hour rule. Still, Lonergan is handy if required. I just don't want to see Eddie do the Eddie thing and have Donaldson/Kellaway/Kemeny as IFL's backup if we're down two fit halves.

They ended up bringing in Teti Tela, I thought he would have been 3rd choice behind Volavola & Valentini
