Suffice to say, hon the Fiji. Every World Cup needs at least one of the established nations to get a bloody nose.

Fiji are so frustrating. If they could play a whole match like they weren't trying to play 7s, they'd be a real threat to everyone. They were taking sensible points for a while there but inevitably they opt to kick to touch and end up losing possession. They'll probably still win this, but they could be comfortably ahead by now.

The ref has taken 14 points off them with a couple of poor decisions and he gifted 5 to Australia. Even now he's letting the Australia penalty count stack up without warning.

That's 3 big guys coming on for Fiji, I reckon they've added a fair amount of extra weight with those changes.

How many more penalties are Australia going to concede?

I can't believe the ref hasn't lost his patience with them yet, they've just been giving them away steadily all game. There have been 2 little flurries where you'd expect to see a yellow and he hasn't even warned them either time.

[Exeter 77]

Yet there was a warning for Fiji despite giving away fewer than half of the number Australia have.

[Exeter 77]

And as I hit post on that Australia give another one away with no consequence.

What's with the sparkly disco pants the Aussies are wearing?

Brilliant stuff, well done Fiji.

Yes, brilliant. Is this as big as say ROI beating England in a football game?

I'd say a bit bigger.

Seeing as you haven't beaten us in a competitive game since 1980, I'd say it's about as big as England beating ROI in a football game.

😂 I knew you’ll bite.

[AV84]

It's 69 years since Fiji beat Australia, so it's a pretty big deal. I hope Fiji don't come to rue that missed kick at the end.

[Exeter 77]

But then there hasn't been a competitive England v ROI game since 1991.

[charlatan]

surely england's last game in euro 2016?
