If Fijis halves can get their backs some quality ball, Fiji should be too strong. In saying that, I have no idea how strong this Irish side is.

This is where League started for Fiji. I only learnt this a few weeks ago. It will be a Fiji home game.
This is what world cups are about!

Agree with everyone else in looking forward to this match.

Hoping Ireland can go with Fiji here, but I think Fiji might have too much for them across the park.

According to RLWC2013 twitter this match is officially a sell-out.
Gonna look good on tele, and gonna be bloody loud if you're in the crowd.
Go Fiji Go!

[Timmah]

Only one O' surname in the Irish team?

I call bullshit

 

[ek999]

Ireland got dis. Especially with the great Irishman Api Pewhairangi in the squad

 

[nadera78]

I'm putting a fiver on at least 5 Aussies complaining about the Spotland pitch on this thread.

 

[DIOGENES]

Dave Allen is playing despite having died in 2005.

 

[Brutus]

Pat Dicks should go well for the Irish, but my score prediction is 34-12 in favour of the Bati.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Take Fiji -14 it's free money

 

[Tipster]

[joshie]
