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

[Dctarget]

wouldn't hate some confirmation for Skelton

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Yes, new here. Was tipped onto this forum as a rugby lover but can’t believe how many critics are on here. Lot of opinions but few positive ones.

Your movies were all stupid.

Hope the radiologist analysing his scan isn’t a La Rochelle fan

Fellas, what’s our predictions for wallabies vs Fiji. This is a massive game, we win this we’re sure to go to quarters or we have to battle it with wales. Very nervous to say the least.

Wallabies by 7 (32-25) This Fijian side has only had one good result and are very over-hyped, a lot of people predicted them to beat Wales but that didn't happen, IF they beat us it'll be down to our continued in-consistency and not having our 2 best players/captain and halfback, we're a better team regardless

That name is illegal, surely

Just doing some undercover recon

Very important … nightmare scenario for aus rugby if we lose to Fiji and Wales

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Need to focus on the positives. We still have a world class loosehead and number 8 and two bloody good wingers. Frost is back and nic white should be playing with a lot too prove to keep his spot as are others so we should hopefully still be too strong

 

[Tomthumb]

If they are any chance at this World Cup they need to put Fiji to the sword. They let Wales score 32 points so this shouldn’t really be close

 

[Tomthumb]

Sounds like Porecki with the armband if Skelton can’t go

 

[rugbyAU]

No Skelton at the captains run, Phillip wore #19 & Arnold #5 today.

Dan Palmer said the scans reported only a 'minor scan' & Skelton remains a chance to play though.

 

[Yoda]

A very funny man you are.

 

[swingpass]

I wouldn’t risk Skelton at this stage of the tournament.

 

[PhilClinton]

Yeh as much as Skelton is a good player, I don’t think he’s the reason we win or lose this game. So if the blokes calf is so dodgy he’s been given until kickoff to prove fitness, don’t bother risking it.

There has been a lot of correlation between calf injury and Achilles problems in recent years across many sports. Not worth the risk for someone his size.

I wonder what Donaldson's high ball skills are like, I don't recall him being tested.

I cant recall any either, but is this because we tend to remember mistakes? Maybe he hasn't stuffed up??

I wonder what matches people have been watching to think we can cope without Skelton.

He turns our scrum and defensive maul into the world class..

 

[Wallabies]

Just rewatching Fiji vs wales game, looks like a scrappy/messy game, if we can keep structure we should be able to outskill and force penalties from them. Important we don’t play down to them.

Yep Fiji leaked more points than Portugal, Italy & Georgia did against Wales, there’s a lot of hype about them

Because Fiji aren’t that good

And now we have another lineout option that some people were begging for
