The Aaron smith yellow was obscene, outside of that I thought Barnes was decent.

Watch it closer. Ireland got away with murder at the breakdown. Coming in from the side and just wasn't calling some blatant holding calls when AB were over the ball but still they came through and got the W.

"I actually felt quite calm, to be honest. They were going with a cut-and-paste attack, doing the same sort of things," Foster added.

The All Black's will win the World Cup.

Whoever makes it out of today's 2 quarters and then the semis will be battered and bruised by the time of the final. Argentina will do what Argentina do make it tough and physical but don't have those extra gears you need to beat NZ in a World Cup and especially a semi.

Can Fiji pull off the biggest win in their history today

Fiji doing work at the breakdown early

"HOW CAN HE SLAP?!?!"

Fiji is playing well for a team that is on the second tier. Thier next world cup will be epic.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Good God Almighty Marcus Smith has been busted wide open!

 

[Liu Kang]

Damn I was about to shyt on Fiji making too many mistakes but they've scored back to back and may tie the game lmao

 

[Liu Kang]

By the way, I've noticed that this WC, forward passes aren't really called like that

 

[BlackAchilles]

This QF round is incredible

Three matches, three absolute barn burners

 

[BlackAchilles]

That was a cynical knock on

Good game but Fiji just not disciplined enough. A shame for them but at least they have room to grow.

That's part of Fiji's charm for me. They play so free if they were more disciplined probably would see less flair. Much like old school France.

Goal kicking is what phucked them in this match.

The match of the day coming up, time for some frog legs

Can the Boks beat the French in France, or will Rassie have to put out another 45 minute cope video
