Week Two made Irish eyes very sad. But Welsh eyes leeked with joy, when the Wallabies didn’t quite manage to hop into the lead in the second half. Uruguay failed to repeat their magic from Week One. Otherwise, the results were more or less as expected.
Week Three’s biggest clash is looking like England v Argentina, although no doubt there will be some surprises in the other fixtures.
We’ve also got some Pro14 and that English Premiership Cup thingy to look forward to.

Replays will show if he got there but what an effort. Those thighs.
It is a try. Marvellous.

Good comma usage Enzo.

Entirely on purpose. That finish…

I really don’t want England to be playing Wales.in the quarters.
LikeLike
Enzo, I just assumed so and accepted it.
This lot just aren’t as open minded.
LikeLike
Jeepers, it was as well the tackle was so bad or he could have really hurt Mata
LikeLike
That’s a yellow, I think. Saved from a red by the landing. Beyond reckless though.
LikeLike
They gave the second pass as forward? I thought it was the first one (which looked forward, whereas the second looked fine).
LikeLike
Wow, they’ve done it again
LikeLike
Well, this is going swimmingly for Wales
LikeLike
Fiji have always had a great shirt, but this one is the best
LikeLike
done what? Some of us are relying on the Graun here. I need you guys at your best.
LikeLike
Dova, Fiji had a second try chalked off for a forward pass but got a penalty because of some dirt by Ken Owens – flip tackle on Mata for which the hooker saw yellow.
Fiji kicked to touch and quickly scored from that. Touchline conversion again missed by Volavola. 10-0 Fiji.

I’m actually working atm so can’t really maintain the updates.

Much appreciated Enzo. And much better than the Graun. Can’t you get that gig? I think some of them got paid to go to Japan and everything.
They might rue those missed conversions in a tight game.
LikeLike
Fijian backs are mashing Wales. Just cant defend these big quick guys who hold the ball im two hands.
Kerevi was bad enough on his own, now they are facing many more of them.
Add to this, when Wales do get the ball, they are making stupid errors. Shades of 2007
LikeLike
Wales will ✇ them in. They need to improve their ♻ though. Says the bloke not watching at all because he has bloody deadlines.
LikeLike
Is it wrong to love Dan Biggar?
LikeLike
Cavubati in the bin now, for entering a ruck shoulder first – albeit to the back of a Welsh player.
Wales get to the Fiji line and ruck for a bit, then a nice cross-kick for Biggar, which Adams takes and scores.
7-10

Wales back to 15.

Utna. No of course not.
Take a leaf out of Enzo’s book and just be comfortable with it. Its all good.
LikeLike
That was quite a scrum by Wales. Lucky they had an advantage, as that forward pass from Davies was criminal.
LikeLike
Oh, they’re looking at touch. Not the last pass?
LikeLike
Kunatani in the bin for repeated team infringements.
Really good defence from Fiji though, pushed Wales back a good 10m.
LikeLike
JDII gets a pass to hands, rather than touch, and Adams is in again.

Sorry, yes, tight. Wrong grammar from me there.

Scotland have gone 192 minutes of word cup rugby without conceding a point. A new record.
Whats that about the problem being a leaky defence?
Contenders again, I reckon.

Fiji are all over Wales here.
Just wave after wave of attack and, whilst Wales are defending manfully, they are just hanging on (and pushing the limits of the law)

I’ll be happy if we can nil Japan, Dov, and get a few tries ourselves

He’s a bit rubbish that AWJ, isn’t he?

Wales are shot. Everytime they get the ball they are panicking and making errors. Allowing Fiji to build.
Radradra or Tuisova will crack them soon and it will he difficult to come back

Cubby inna bin and then a penalty try for Fiji, after Wales drop a maul.
14-17!

Even getting mashed up front now at scrum and maul.
Deserved yellow for James Davies and then a deserved penalty try.

Jebus. Williams nails Biggar with his shoulder and then with his hip.

Liam Williams shoulder takes Biggar out. He will be gone for the game with head injury.
Total panic rugby in the leadup. Need to calm down, rumble it through the forwards and kick well.
