Wales four points in front of both Fiji and Australia. What yesterday’s game did though is show that Wales can’t afford too many injuries as they don’t have a great deal beyond their starting fifteen.

FT: Fiji 22 - 15 Australia

No idea what it means to the group but I think I heard them say a first win for Fiji over the Aussies in 50 years.

Actually it's first time in 69 years. Great work Fiji

Seventy years apparently or sixty nine to be more accurate according to the guy who just interviewed the Fiji coach.

Wouldn't surprise me if Georgia still have a part to play in deciding who qualifies from our group. They didn't turn up for the first 20 minutes against the Aussies, but they came into the game well after that.

They may well turn over us or Fiji to blow the group open. Had 125/1 on the Fijians pre tournament so I'm backing them all the way. Fancy a good laying opportunity come semi final time

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?

An Australia win would have been better for Wales, as Fiji would have lost to both us and the Aussies. If we lose to the Aussies then all 3 could finish W4 L1, so bonus points will come into it. We'll probably have to put out our strongest team against Georgia if we don't beat Australia next Sunday.

Japan have handed England 10 points here. Two terrible mistakes.

I thought Japan were pretty poor against Chile aswell , they look a shadow of the side they were

They're doing well here, only 4 down at half time and those points have been given up through silly mistakes

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?

I'm sure psychobabble Wilkinson will have a reason why England are not winning by 100 points. The most sleep inducing pundit of all time.

Christ England are a lucky team...

Have they created anything at this World Cup?

Re: About time we had a rugby World Cup thread?

This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby coverage

There was reports of 100 Welsh people all in shirts giving an impromptu, improvised , off the cuff rendition of famous Welsh rugby songs and the national anthem before the game v Portugal on Saturday, in the city centre

All filmed

It ran with the oh you only get that with Welsh rugby sycophantic nauseating nonsense , rugby is special blah blah blah , it's part of our culture etc

Well it wasn't spontaneous at all ......it was a planned event , as were the cameras ......with 100 singers from 3 Welsh choirs , all organised in advance

I enjoy rugby but you can shove all this superior fake nonsense up your arse
