2017 RLWC - C/D - W2 - FIJ 72-6 WAL @ Townsville

[Dodgy]

As a "casual" rl fan. It's just weird seeing how much bigger every one of the Fijians are compared to the Welsh.

This World Cup is actually disgusting,i already lost interest.

I have never in my life seen a team tackle so poorly like this at this level.

They may be playing at international level but in reality majority of these guys would be Ron Massey Cup standard or lower hence the floggings they are receiving.

Fiji seem more well drilled and disciplined than Tonga and even more so than PNG in spite of the crap opposition they've had so far.
They have a pretty handy backline and Hayne is working the outside backs well.

Sounds like a Trump tweet.

Yep, agree. Fiji look well coached. It think they'd be an even stronger contender to knock off NZ or England, but I think their very soft draw has done them no favours. They won't be prepared at all for the big 3

They won't have to take on one of the big 3 until the semi final, if they can beat Tonga in the quarter. It will be a good game. Unfortunately that will be it for either side, as the next date would be with the Big 1, the Kangaroos.

Who do they face if Tonga upset NZ? Is it the Kiwis?

2nd placed team in group B, so that would be NZ if Tonga are first. Tonga would play Lebanon.
