29 @ Pietman:
Klomp skree al weer dis alles Heyneke se skuld… my opinie is egter dat sekere “helde” soos Lambie maar bra middelmatig tot swak was.
Adriaan Strauss, Flo, Alberts en JP Pietersen was baie goed. Doc Jannie het sterk geskrum, Etzebeth het hard gewoel, Juandré Kruger was baas in die lynstane.
Hougie was weer gemiddeld tot swak.

Met eish??
2nd Half ON!
Forward pass by Fiji… scrum Ireland.
Ireland just much more all rounded than the Fijians… Fiji just running, for the sake of running, because they can, whereas the Irish are buiding platforms and then launching from it.
Try Fergus McFadden again…
Ireland 36 / 0 Fiji
We might see a 60 Plus game for Ireland here
Fiji blown for a tip tackle… eish, that was just a hard tackle man
Yellow for No 23 Fiji, Timoci Matanavou
Sal kom saamgesels met die Franse wedstryd, behoort ‘n goeie een te wees.
41 @ bdb:
Ja, sal ‘n baie goeie game wees
Fiji should not play the 15 man game
43 @ Sharks_forever:
Nooo, they should, they should just enter with 2 full 7’s sides and a link man in between… hehehehe
😆 @ grootblousmile:
Fiji was hard on attack, but it was one-man stormlopies… eventually ripped off and Ireland hacks it out
19 Minutes of agony to go.
Bit of a dour 2nd half…. must be the Irish coach’s fault…. hehehe
Yellow Card to Chris Henry, Irish No 20
Handbags… watch out Ireland, the Islanders will cook you and eat you… hahaha
Yellow Card to No 16 Fiji, Tuapati Telemaitoga
14 a side… if the Yellow cards continue, the Fijians might stand a chance with 7’s rugby
Try Gilroy again… great backline strike
Ireland 41 / 0 Fiji
Hat trick for Gilroy, as he scores under the sticks
Ireland 48 / 0 Fiji
4 Minutes to go… can Ireland get their half-ton up on the board?
I nominate Smiles for a medal for the fortitude to watch even the kukest rugby match of the day.
Try Ireland… Marshall
Final Score: Ireland 53 / 0 Fiji
