    Ref breaths a sigh of relief.

    FIFY. Can't blame Wales for that level of reffing ineptitude.

    Fiji have to beat Australia you think. Just canโ€™t see Giorgia beating wales they were dire.

    World Rugby can't have the "South Sea Islanders" getting too uppity, so they'll be pleased with Carley, Lord of Gloucestershire, delivering the desired result.

    Bugger.

    Gave up on this after Wales scored that last one at 32-14 to get ready for work.

    Came back with time up ... what a terrible way for Fiji to finish.

    There will be literally no consequence for what has in all probability being the most blatant one eyed refereeing display I've have seen in 40 years....

    The Fiji card given for so little and the Welsh getting away with so much.....

    Saving grace is the ABs were not involved so we cant be blamed for being sore losers.

    I actually thought the Fijian yc was almost a penalty try to be honest, but I can see why when we are into game and in heat we see it slightly different?
    Let's face it , hard not to love Flying Fijians, but really as a neutral, I really enjoyed both teams play.
    (and the commentators even)

    Ref was utterly shocking & that's from a Wales supporter.
    Dee or Biggar should've been carded for persistent infringement.
    Lucky win but I'll take it, couple of decent tries. We were always going to be under the cosh for long periods, they have some truly gifted individuals.

    Wow, some game. Blatant ref bias in some of those calls, gee where have I seen him before? I'd take either of those teams playing as a team rather than our current rabble.

    Just watched this. Absolutely disgusted by the inconsistent and error-ridden display by the officials that ruined this match.
    Fair play to Wales for playing the ref and bitching at everything. It clearly makes a huge difference. Amazing that a clear tackle headshot by Biggar was waved past given the scrutiny of Fiji.

    The only upside is that it wasn't the AB's on the receiving end this time around.

    That ref is a toe rag. So inconsistent yet pedantic at the same time.

    He is awful.

    @Higgins said in RWC: Wales v Fiji:

    The game started at 7.00am and it's now ten to nine (that's 110minutes) which seems to be an awful long time for an 80 minute game, even allowing for the elongated half time/advertising breaks.

    Same ref from Twickers where it was also the length of the godfather part 3.

    @Duluth The starting XV is scary enough but the thought of Tuisova & Botia off the bench to face a flagging Welsh team playing in 30 degree heat gives me the jitters ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Tuisova & Botia

    and they are big enough around the middle to hide some pads to stop any leeks ๐Ÿ™‚
