If France beat England in their final pool game, then we’d play England in the qtrs as long as we top our pool? Or have I got that wrong?Originally Posted by kendoddsdadsdogsdead
Yes if England finish second and we finish top we play England. If France finish second we play the French as long as we win our group. Beat the French and we would then play the winner of South Africa v the winner of Japan’s group.

If games are cancelled due to the weather they are registered as a 0-0 draw. Bullshit! Our game against Uruguay could be affected. We’d almost certainly finish 2nd if that were the case
That would be a disgrace and totally unacceptable.
Agreed. I’d hope this is a last resort option and they could relocate the games to another unaffected geography
they made those rules before the start..why would they change them
There has to be a fairer way though?
Average score of last 5 matches?
We beat them by 50 odd points in the past. Shame to lose that kind of point difference.
..I agree..a 4 yearly World Cup could be decided by the weather..ridiculously.
I believe the worst of the weather is due on saturday and is expected to hit the southern end of Japan. We should be OK
I should have added it will hit from right to left which should slow the wind if not the rain
Fiji off to a flyer vs Wales currently 5 nil.
Thought the Welsh disallowed "try" for knock on was harsh though.
Great start lads. Feck sake
Yellow card against Owens for dangerous tackle. Not a great start at all.
Owens went low in the tackle (seems to be the directive this WC due to the head injuries suffered) and the result was momentum of Fiji player flipped him over
Edit: Another try for Fiji
Not quite sure they only looked at one angle for the try and multiple for the yellow card. That one angle didn't look conclusiveYellow card against Owens for dangerous tackle. Not a great start at all.

Excellent catch from Adams
Wales up half time 14-10 and Fiji blowing a bit just before the whistle went, but we don't look like a team that are going to the latter stages if this tournament today - we definitely could still lose this.
I do agree. Perhaps It's a mental thing?
Looks like Fiji are right up for it and had a good start.
I must say that the game is very stop start with the officials being very picky, even more than usual. This hasn't suited Wales.
Edit: try Fiji (again!)

unless this ref gets subbed Wales will struggle to win, seems to have an eye for fiji at the moment.
Fantastic try! 22-17
The linos too. That last Wales try wasn't even close to touch.
There was also a lineout given 1st half which they only showed a replay of once and it was offloaded well before he was bundled into touch.
Saying that I'm not sure I know the rules any more.
One thing I have noticed in this WC is that nobody seems to care about feeding your hooker in the scrum nor whether the lineout is straight.
They have also changed the forward pass ruling back to what it says on the tin as opposed to whether the hands are try line side.
So much down to interpretation.
Fiji are playing like it's a 7's game. Great to watch for the neutral (and England)
Another good try. 12 point lead, 10 minutes to go
Do you say "rugger" because you're Jeremy Corbyn? Surely that word is more Boris Johnson.
I might watch Wales games in the knockout stages if they're on at a reasonable hour. I think I'd definitely watch the final if Wales get there.
Job done.
