RWC: Pool C - Wallabies v Fiji - Monday 18 Sep 2am AEST

[KOB1987]

If we win against wales do we go to quarters. What happens from here?

We can still top the pool if we get maximum points. If we don’t get bonus points we might not make the quarters.

This has very clearly been the game plan all season and all tournament - unfair to single out Petaia, especially when Ikitau would likely be instructed to do the same

Exactly, this is the genius Jones's great game plan to beat Fiji, give them the ball as we don't want to do more than 3 phases..Dumb prick, I always hated him but hoped he would be better this time around.

We need bonus point wins against Wales and Portugal and assuming Wales get a BP win over Georgia they can’t get any losing BP against us if they get one it’ll come down to points differential

 

[Tomthumb]

We're gonna lose to the Portuguese aren't we

 

[Derpus]

Signing EJ (Eddie Jones) has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

They were also better than us over the ball.

Looked to be the winning of the game. Aus forwards just could not clean them out in time and so couldnt get any go-forward momentum. Pinged again and again.

Bit maddening for Aus as their lineout was nicking Fiji ball at will

 

[stillmissit]

You can’t start Donno at 10.

It wasn’t Gordon’s best game but look who he was paired with White has to go. The 9/10 combo will look a lot better when Tate is back

I thought the game looked better when White left the field. Gordon had a shocker, taking the ball up when it was needed out wide was a form of madness, as much as I dislike Jones I can't believe he would instruct him to do that against Fiji. He doesn't deserve a start after that and I'm one of his biggest supporters

Master of the fucking understatement.

He is the only 10 we have. Donno struggled for the Tahs at ten would be madness to pick him in a must win game

The fact that Dave Poreki rolled out as a wallaby captain says a lot about where we are as a side

 

[Rebel man]

Was this Fijian lucky to get away with late shoulder charge on Koroibete?

A bit of luck for Fiji and Ilaisa Droasese against the Wallabies?

Understand your thinking, and if he gets the start then the forwards need to be flogged into action this week to ensure some go-forward ball.

The plan is in motion…

Lose to Fiji, thrash Wales…

Wallabies and Fiji through to the quarters.

I think you're dreaming but I love the dream.....

Just pick Tate and IFL at 9 drop White

That will sort out so many of the problems to begin with.

Still 14 more problems on the field at any one time

I wonder what goes through EJ (Eddie Jones) head. Hope you are right and he does it as we must be faster.

I suspect we are singing a song from a playbook that is 20 years old.

 

[Derpus]

Still reckon we sack Eddie and just let the boys do what they want. Can't be any worse.
