2017 RLWC - SF1 - AUS 54-6 FIJ @ Brisbane

[Grail]

Fiji 6 - 0 in the first 10 minutes.
Australia 64 - 0 in the last 70 minutes.

Been like that all tournament. He seems to think the number 6 on his back means he's strictly a passer...he only runs the ball when there's no other option. It's worked out ok against the weaker countries but against NZ it was ineffective. he's really got to step up, run the ball a bit more and straighten the attack. I think he does have the makings of a good five-eighth if he can get that balance right

To be fair. The n

Fiji 6 - 0 in the first 10 minutes.
Australia 64 - 0 in the last 70 minutes.

So I'm assuming you haven't seen fiji play yet.

That is fair

Sorry, was going to say that the ruck wasn't inforced so no playmakers were effective.

I can't believe the latitude allowed in pinning a team on its own line.

It's black friday.... just saying.

For Australia or Fiji?

It'll be a close 1st half but australia will pull away in the 2nd half.

Australia by 24

Mal blastered the players this week, said that they had trained very poorly. Hmm, complacency by the Roos? There for the taking me thinks.

You can assume what you want, doesn't make it correct.

It does when I do it

 

[miguel de cervantes]

australia to wrestle, hold down and second-man play their way to victory, playing predictably boring but crushingly effective football.

at least when the all blacks flog a team it is exciting to watch.

Sorry. So I've got you down as Aus by 60+ ?
Let's see how it goes....
That should pay ok..
Why not nip down and Chuck some cash on it?
Good luck mate

I think you'll find that with basic maths, 64-6 is 58, not 60+

I think you'll find i didn't bother remembering the specifics of your post or rereading it .
But nice work on the math.
Now you will know exactly how stupid you are.

 

[The Partisan]

For me ....

Fiji to stick with them for the first half, possibly even being in front early. Kangaroo class to kick in the latter part of the 2nd half to ensure a 25+ win.

Having seen live at Wembley the last RLWC semi between these two in 2013 I do hope a competitive game is delivered for the most part.

Wonder if the Kiwi / Pacific Islanders brethren in general get behind Fiji ? Guessing some Kiwi supporters would have purchased tickets once beaten by Tonga and assuming they'd be playing tonight. Be nice to see PNG, Samoan, Tongan, Cook Islands etc jerseys in full force and voice. Bit of Pacific Pride.

Is Nigh Garma playing or will negwarma take his place?

 

[Allstar Knights]

Kimmorley just said Woods has the quickest play the ball in the comp. Wtf
