The Silver Fern

@MiketheSnow said in RWC Week 5: Fiji v Portugal:

Told you boys
Sorry they couldn’t win by more to put Australia through

Fiji are the dumbest team in World Rugby

Well done.

The only man to pick Portugal in the pre match poll

@Catogrande TBF he is a better loosehead than THP.

And in a country that doesn't value scrummaging, longevity has appeal

My favourite match so far. Was great to see a couple of the lesser teams really give it a go.

I’m a bit of a closet Georgian fan and have admired the fact that they have been able to make every RWC since 03.

Portugal have some pace out wide and in the middle and I was surprised with how their forwards held their own for large parts of the game against a more fancied Georgian pack.

In all fairness Georgia choked and had more opportunities to both extend a lead and win it in the end.

Robert Kitson in the Observer today:
“It was against the run of play, then, when the ball was moved wide right to Rees-Zammit who chipped ahead and regathered smoothly to put Wales on the board after nine minutes. The winger cheekily marked the moment with a Cristiano Ronaldo-style celebration which, predictably, did not go down terribly well with everyone present.”
