Good to see HRH The Prince of Wales has learned the words to the Welsh anthem.

This World Cup has started great.
More than we can expect from England who will probably meet Whales or Fifi in the quarters

I’m Fijian and so is my wife
Fiji is a land full of massive blokes who love Rugby. I've always felt that could be a serious challenger if they got the right infrastructure. They're pretty good these days.

That was a cracking match - Wales need to work on their fitness levels, they looked dead for the last five minutes. Fiji didn't the breaks from the ref.

I was away earlier and only saw the non-red card in the Scotland match on replay, but that was a terrible decision. I'm sure he'll get cited for that.

A mixture of Welsh brilliance, Welsh luck and Welsh stupidity in that game.

A massive result and I think Fiji will beat Australia.

number of penalties conceded within two yards of their own try line
Wales 5
Fiji 1

Number of sin bins for conceding a penalty within two yards of their own try line
Wales 0
Fiji 1

Staggeringly poor from the ref. Dan Biggar was stood on the wrong side in the ruck and just picked the ball up when all Fini had to do was pick it up and walk over the line (although they dropped 4 like that so maybe mess it up anyway but he has to go bin)

Yes but the one by Fiji could have been given as a penalty try so he gave a yellow instead.

He then gave a yellow for Wales for the next penalty they gave away.

But that was for number of fouls then in the last five they did two more. Each has to be a bin. You can’t reset like that. One of them was an obvious stopping of try so could have been given as a pen try. Wales got away with one today.
