Nice coverage ITV. Smug Inverdale showing footage of Fiji beating Wales in 2007 without mentioning Wales beating them 66-0 in 2011. And then straight off to the England camp. Bloody hell.

You will do seriously well to get a bonus point from this.

I would think Fiji will have been targeting this game as their best chance to catch one of the big guns and that's even before the injuries.

As you said get the win and then worry about it in the last half hour.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fiji are out. They have no chance of getting to third realistically either. Not that much to play for and they are missing their two best players. Not taking either victory or the bonus point for granted. Must just play our best game and then the score will hopefully take care of itself.

Cracking start by Wales, they're up for this...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Lovely jubbly. Hopefully that settles the nerves.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Next thoughts - let's avoid any scrums shall we chaps. These are frigging rhino.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

How to butcher a try under the posts. Jesus fucking christ.

 

[jd1981]

Bradley Davies very lucky not to be in the sin bin there.

 

[jd1981]

Wales deservedly in front but there scrum is really poor and needs sorting quick before the knock out stages.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bradley Davies should have been binned for sure. Wales have butchered two tries effectively and that was the bonus point. Still time to sort that. Fiji are superb in the scrum.

What a fantastic try by Fiji

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What a fabulous Fijian try. Wales a gnat's chuff from an intercept run in and then some truly wonderful broken play work by Fiji. 17-13 and shit just got interesting.

 

[jd1981]

Absolutely brilliant try, try of the tournament so far.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Lovely to watch. Wish it wasn't against us, but a superlative move and that should be celebrated.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sloppy sloppy start to the second half. Getting a bit nervous.

 

[jd1981]

Think Fiji will run out of steam eventually.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They didn't particularly against England to be fair. This is the fittest Fiji side I have seen. A real test for Wales to try and get the bonus. Plus the referee is pinging Wales everywhere.

I'd more worried about just the winning the game firstly.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And me. Only one winner if we keep playing fucking sevens.

This is madness.
