RWC Week 1: Wales v Fiji

[MiketheSnow]

If Elias and Faletau are fit then that’s a good looking pack

If they’re not then we’re fucked, because they’re not match fit

Forwards bench looks good

I’m a massive Tompkins fan but I’m very surprised he’s starting

Semi Radradra will be fully hard seeing that

Williams or Grady would have been a smarter choice

Davies then Tomos is the right call

Costelow has to be there
(Fuck you Hawkins)

I would have had Grady instead of Dyer

Covers centre and wing

[MiketheSnow]

This is common sense but unfortunately not common practice but if Fiji look like they're scoring then Wales just have to let them if the only way to stop them is illegally

We can score tries and come back from a deficit, but we won't beat Fiji with 14 or 13 men on the park

They'll run us ragged and punish us

@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 😂

[Bones]

Ref signals his intention to be shithouse when he penalises Fiji for Wales being offside and then let's Bigger run at least 5m away from the mark to take the penalty.

[Mattasaurus]

I thought the offside call against Fiji was poor considering Wales on their line 2mins earlier.... consistency is key.

That said - a well finished try.

[Bones]

Fuck Biggar is quite the cockhole isn't he? Wonder if any of his teammates like him.

[Mattasaurus]

Short non-penalty advantages - I like that, think its good for the game.

[Billy Tell]

Fiji 9 has a great pass.

[Victor Meldrew]

Looks like Ma'a has been cloned and at 13 for Fiji.

[Mattasaurus]

That was a beautiful try

[Billy Tell]

Fiji are so easy on the eye.

As was the next one.

[mantissanet]

Very nice try

[JayCee]

Fiji - best advertisement for the game

[Mattasaurus]

Wales look rattled at the moment. Looks bloody hot out there....break couldn't have come at a better time for them

[MiketheSnow]

Wales obviously didn’t watch the England v Fiji match

[Derm McCrum]

Great play from Fiji. If only New Zealand hadn't poached all their players over the last 20 years, Fiji would be sitting in number 1 spot.
At least, South Africa only take players from Zimbabwe, Ghana and Scotland.....

[Jailbreak7]

Wtf the pitch is like old carpet
