    Britain in for a long match here

    I recommend watching this on bbc...the tones are all muted. It adds to the enjoyment.

    Can't give up chances like that against Fiji


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88

    They sound like they are at a funeral :D

    Another try just now, that's what four in five mins?

    Commentators saying beforehand how this was going to be a tight game.

    I don't know why you're focusing on GB so much.

    Just admire this great Fijian team.

    FFS. No one is embarrassing themselves. Fiji are just awesome.

    22-0 to Fiji and I think someone has killed someone in the BBC commentary area

    Edit 29

    GB did great to reach a final, were an outside shot for a medal so can be happy that they will be going with a medal.

    Fiji are just special.

    29-0 now, and at least Woodward is being gracious and acknowledging just how good Fiji are.

    Don't be a knob about the Japanese team, they're ranked way down, and played great stuff for most of the tournament. If any team choked it was South Africa, should've turned over GB really.

    GBR letting themselves down here. No excuse for that kind of a score line. Fiji are unbelievably hard to play against though. Too big and too fast for any of the other teams. Only way you can beat them is by attacking and doing it better than they can. Psychologically they're not the best and the unforced errors will come in a close game.

    Think Fiji are playing amazing stuff here. they are scoring within 2 phases everytime they get the ball. The real shame is GB have kept giving them the ball!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    Fiji are just so much fun to watch!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Fiji are a joy to watch here. No team would be able to keep up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,474 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    Hopefully BBC show the celebrations after the match, will be special to watch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,166 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Good to see some traditional playing for territory from Britain...

    Good idea bad idea let's kick the ball back to the offload masters


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,390 ✭✭✭crisco10


    they are literally offloading from every tackle. there have been very few rucks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,307 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey
