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
GBS you get the Superbru honors on this game but only 2 points even your 44 point diff. is way too low.
… 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
