Ireland should take this one comfortably.
Players coming out onto the pitch
Should be an interesting game… Ireland’s forwards should dominate.
Fijians very athletic and unpredictable on attack… but a structured Ireland approach should stifle the Fijians easily.
Anthems
OK, the little dance Loskoppie loves so much….
Mbole….
Hoo hoo… warra-warra…
Game On!
Ireland will play with their forwards for a large part of the game

@ grootblousmile:
You bruvva, hoessit?
Ek het nog niks rugby gekyk vandag nie, gaan bietjie eers lees hier…..maar watse Ierse span hierdie? Dit lyk na n 2e span, Ierse Vyftiental sien ek?
21 @ Pietman:
Ja, dis hulle dirt trackers… dink hulle weet dis nie nodig om die bestes teen Fiji te speel nie
Fiji is TERRIBLE!
@ grootblousmile:
Gaan nou gou die Bokke garing lees….hoe was die wedstryd? Ek is amper te bang om te vra…
Try No 13 Ireland.. Cave
Ireland 29 / 0 Fiji
Fiji lucky to have ZERO, so far
24 @ Pietman:
Mixed bag… Bokke het die 1ste halfte mooi oorheers, maar die Bokke agterlyn was weer steriel.
2de Halfte was een groot flokkop, behalwe dat die Bokke baie baie goed verdedig het. Ierland het die 2de halfte heeltemal oorheers.
CJ van der Linde was maar net moer kak van die sekonde wat hy opgekom het, tot die bittereinde…. phweeeew!
@ grootblousmile:
@28 Dan is ek maar bly ek het gewerk, weet nie eens of ek gaan wakkerbly vir die replay nie…..Bokke gaan my net n slapelose nag gee.
These Fijians can only play 7’s…. that’s their absolute limit
