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

IF Fiji get through, surely they can't all have tits for hands for the full 80 mins against Eng?
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.

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...

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.
