Tela can't kick for sh*t but he needs to be on too at FH.

Aus need Portugal to win by 8.

Though I’m not entirely sure if Fiji lose by more than 8 but get a BP.

Is it for and against before head to head? If so, a loss by more than 8 even with 4 try bp would see Fiji packing

We'll match them tit for tits and hand for hands.
Fiji will obviously play brilliantly vs England

Just checked and it’s head to head over for and against.

So it’s either BP needed by Fiji. Within 7 or 4 tries.

Will it be 4 years before Portugal get another game against a Tier 1 team?

WR.......... growing the game :problem:

Nothing less than they deserved. Delighted for them. Is this Portugal arriving into a rugby nation?

Eng with a bye to the semis now.

Fiji have gotten worse every game
- robbed against Wal
- not as good against a very poor Aus
- very disappointing against Geo
- and clueless tonight

Kudos to Portugal, they're a fun team to watch.

Can't imagine England will be too phased at facing Fiji, their last head-to-head result notwithstanding.

Eddie probably started drowning his sorrows half an hour ago. Oh dear, how sad...

We weren’t exactly slick yesterday… Fiji will play a lot better next week

Holy shit, well done Portugal. I put this game on expecting it to be background noise, but fair fuckin' play to them. They wanted this badly and they played so well.

Superb stuff. Really interested to find out a bit more about rugby in Portugal now

Sadly not. WR will starve them of any meaningful rugby and they'll get a few crumbs of funding: enough such that Braindead Billy and co have one less inflight whisky.
