Hope Fiji can pile on many points this half, Aus should come back strongly in the end, hope am wrong
Wallabies 7 / 14 Fiji
Phew kick curled in, for a moment thought it was going to miss to the right
Wallaby penalty, offence at the ruck.
Fiji putting in big tackles, pity about the penalty conceded

Now we have a Wallaby 6m lineout…
Australia have conceded a number of penalties no card, now Fiji have conceded a few in a row lets see how it goes…
Too east, through the hands good try in the corner
Try Reece Hodge, Wallabies…. near right corner!
From one angle looked like the pass to Beale may have been forward but from another angle no problem pass was good
Wallabies 12 / 14 Fiji
@ grootblousmile:
Having a quiet chuckle here, don’t know why but when he was lining up the conversion the memories of watching rugby many years ago with an old friend and colleague came back, if he didn’t want a kick to be over he would make a fist but with his thumb and pienkie sticking out and twist his hand pointing at the TV saying “mis mis perdepis” and hey presto Aus conversion missed
Knocked by Nic White…
Wallabies found a lot of rhythm and continuity there, before the knock…
Fiji have made 58 tackles – 20 more than Aus

Fiji penalty against David Pocock!
Shortly after now a Wallaby penalty, this time earned by David Pocock…
Tryyyyyyy Fiji, No 13, Waisea Nayacalevu!
Wallabies 12 / 21 Fiji
Fiji steals the Wallaby lineout… then as they attempt to do something with the ball they knock.
Wallabies attacking well inside the Fiji 22….
Fiji steals the ground ball… but a touch kick under pressure and the Wallabies have an attacking lineout…
Again Fiji steals the lineout…
All in all the Wallabies not looking flust and like a world-beating side…
Wallaby penalty, in front, just outside the Fiji 22… shot.
Wallabies 15 / 21 Fiji
Will Genia on for Nic White (who has had a terrible game)
