RWC Week 5: Fiji v Portugal

Stargazer

@cgrant Italy have been an utter disappointment.

The phuck is wrong with Fiji at the moment? They need to focus up front, get some go forward and then wide with the miracle plays.

Jeez the England Fiji quarter, it it happens, is going to be a classic

News Update
Wallabies have been taken off their life support machine just to see if there is an improvement over the next 40 minutes

Stargazer

What a great try to Portugal!

Fiji look like they are playing for the single point they need, so lacklustre

Stargazer

Fiji 3 - 10 Portugal

Maybe Fiji will start to play now.

stodders

@Stargazer good call 😬

Stargazer

I feel sorry for Portugal that Fiji scored that try. One little mistake from them, requiring minimal effort from Fiji.

Steven Harris

High tackle missed on a Portuguese player ?

stodders

So diving has now made it into rugby

stodders

It should just be a yellow for me given the late step by the Portuguese player

Stargazer

Head making direct contact with chin. That could be upgraded to red.

stodders

@Stargazer mitigation because of the late step?

Stargazer

Deserved try to Portugal!
Don't get me wrong, I want Fiji to go through, but they should work for it. They're just looking lazy at the moment.

stodders

@Stargazer it was the dive though. Players are now falling over at the merest hint of head contact.

Stargazer

@Stargazer mitigation because of the late step?

Spot on. Yellow stays yellow.

This Fiji team has just shovelled ball across and looked every bit like a Fiji team of the past. Really disappointing.

On the other hand, the Portuguese team have been excellent.

Portugal leading Fiji 17-10 with 21 minutes to go.

Aussie might make the QFs.

@sparky this is still enough though for Fiji to stumble in.
