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

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Congratulations on the Roos on getting into the world cup final and winning it.

Score woulda been like 16-6 instead of 54-6 if Fiji had Radarara instead of Suli

 

[Jim from Oz]

Uate At the end, makes the break, has another unmarked person to his right, doesn’t pass, gets tackled. If the Australians make that break, they pass to the outside person and Australia scores. Why is it So hard for teams to do this against Australia?!

 

[Life's Good]

Hayne has realised his dream to be in
a team that conceded 50+.

And if Fiji did not have Jarrod Hayne! Lol

 

[The_Shield]

And the fact he isn't even half as good as a true Fiji star like Semi Radradra

A true Fiji star who abandoned them to play for Australia

 

[wibble]

I know many players across many clubs get along well, but who was that Fiji player who just gave Holmes a big hug? Looks like there was a lot of man love there

 

[Golden point]

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

I must admit that you were somewhat correct. My apologies, I will eat humble pie. I underestimated just how bad the Kiwis were. I now fear for Tonga as beating New Zealand means diddly.

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

Yep! Says it all, doesn’t it? But why does Mel Meninga pick him in the first place!??!

The old score 6 and don’t get MoTm trick.

They don’t play together enough. There are combinations in Australia formed through Origin and the odd test. Fiji don’t have this(as do most of the tier 2 nations).

Exactly! Mals a prick. He did it coaching qld too , poaching anyone he could to get them tied up.

 

[stormbati]

Congratulations Australia. Just too good!
I thought there were some good signs from Fiji but I guess that's all you can look for with this sort of loss.
Viliame Kikau, Jake Saifiti and Vunakece were outstanding this world cup really given their club coaches a lot to think about.

 

[GongPanther]

Holmes will score 7

They'll nickname him "Johnny" if he ever scores 13 tries in a match.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Semi showed interest in playing for the Roos and Mal jumped on that.

 

[GongPanther]

Oh no.....another soggy sao from the commentary team about Studs Slater.

Should be a soggy pizza base.

I was hoping he scored 7 just so I could go back to that post and do the 'I told you so'. 6 is bloody good though and half of those were really good tries.

 

[axl rose]

Fiji tried to wrestle them in the play the ball for the first 20 minutes and the ref pinged them. Then he allowed the Roos to lye all over them for the next 60 minutes. Ah well, disappointing game, way to good.

Could have been 8 tries if Gillette and I think if Chambers would have passed.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Hahaha. Did that channel 7 guy just call him “Brett Korrlley”?

Good stuff.
