    I was there with 2 Fijian friends, one of whom has sadly passed away since. Post match they were the happiest people in the world. The Welsh fans were also hugely magnanimous and although disappointed, were part of the party in the town. Rugby at its best! Moce Pita.

    One of the greatest games of the Rugby World Cup, remember watching this game in Lautoka Fiji and to see two former school mates Rabeni (RIP) and Rawaqa represent my beloved Fiji and win was the icing on the cake.

    No hate to Wales as an Englishman, but it's actually good for the game as a whole when these "upsets" happen, like Japan v South Africa 2015 - it makes the game more international and less exclusive, rather than if every result is predictable.

    During the epidemics, one would have hoped World Rugby would upload all of the RWC games ever played in their entireties. It's not like it's going to hurt them financially, and it would really help those of us Rugby fans put up with confinement, raise their crappy profile, etc... Easy to understand, a win-win thing...

    Extraordinary that Dickinson was deemed an international-standard ref... a penalty to be taken from the try-line(?!) and allowing play to continue when an injured player was being tended to - at least twice - whilst clearly in harm's way, plus ignoring potentially serious injury to Wynn-Jones when he landed very badly after taking a restart!???

  • @SPEED-si4xy
    @SPEED-si4xy 4 года назад +11

    At least 2 of those Fiji tries would have been disallowed by video refs in 2019. They would've informed the ref about something a few phases back. It was easy for island teams to win back then. These days, we island team fans are more worried about the referees than the opposition. That's the sad truth today in both union and league.

They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing about it is the fact that I am not really that tech-savvy, they only required basic insight into internet and common typing skill...Superb thing about this job is that I have more free time for my kids. I am able to devote quality time with my friends and family and take care of my children and also going on vacation with them very often. Don't miss this chance and try to act quick.

    Why is it - Wales winning 39 six nations titles never seems to get them respect, yet when they fail to win a world cup. People act like all of the sudden they are world beaters and should be winning world cups. The view of them just isn't consistent.
    And why does world rugby keep going back to Fiji vs Wales?! Is it such a shock for Fiji to beat Wales? I don't think so....Wales have just as much adversity in the NH as Fiji does in the SH.
