Wales 59 / ZIPPPPPPPPP
Tonga certainly gone backwardsin the last 4 years
The next game is going to be the most significant one of thhe day, and then a nice week of rest from all the rugby
Penalty Fiji… damn Wales have conceded many penalties
… and again a Fiji unforced knock…
They deserve their ZERO on the board
Scrum on the Welsh 22
This Fijians look out on their feet, this was a poor RWC for them. Did they have military/government interference in their team?
93 @ superBul:
Ireland should take it with ease
Scweet revenge for Wales after their 2007 exit
Fiji just not protecting the ball at all.
Time is up, last lineout
97@ superBul:i am sure they did, they certainly had a couple of dignitaries/officials who had their visa’s cancelled by NZ and weren’t allowed to travel
Wales steal another ball… and they want more points
… and Jonathan Davies gets more points for Wales…
Wales 66 / 0
Very poor Tonga, on that performance, they won’t be back next WC
One more match, then it’s off to Malgas for a few days – need a break before the quarters
Final Score: Wales 66 / 0 Fiji
