Aragorn11: Good win as Fiji looked decent. No bonus point though. Wonder will it matter in the group ?
I didn't get to watch the game however reports pointed out quite few mistakes Wallaby made. And yes they kicked rather than going for try and that could cost...

Decent enough 1st half Rob, Fiji matched them in the 2nd. Was Australia's 1st game of a long touurnament so not surprisingly were not at their best. Big game Sat, Wales v England, will tell a lot about the group. Kinda fancying Wales tbh.
BerrySmoothie: Another win by our lads.....but cause for concern.
There is work to do....
A great effort by the Namibians....we were actually cheering for them when they scored against us.... What is with that?
Next match to be watching: England V Wales....should be interesting.
Great for Namibia to get a try in fairness. The AB's had a 4 day turnaround so not surprised they were not at their best. The England / Wales match should be a cracker.

That's what I meant....it WAS great Namibia got a try.

Yep, that should be a great game...
I can just imagine you cheering them on Everyone loves an underdog.
Before the tournament I thought the faves were
1. New Zealand 2. England & Australia 3. Ireland & S Africa 4. France & Wales.
Thought Wales would be the fall guys in the group of death. They are missing big players, but the more I read this week it would not surprise me if they overturn Eng on Sat. They are really up for it and this is their WC final. We shall see.

I the underdog.
I love our AB's and do hope they come through, but it's great to see these little guys scaring the daylights out of the big boys...
A few punters here have picked an Ireland, AB final.
I recall...the Welsh in my younger days....they had a winger JJ ? just lost for his surname....they were never to be written off then and it seems so now.

JPR Williams ? This guy ?
Some full back, that Welsh team of the 70's was unreal.
Yeah its great that the so called 2nd tier teams are closing the gap and in some cases causing upsets. Just hope Romania don't turn up on Sunday

Yep, that's him....but I recall him as JJ Williams....perhaps that was his nickname. I think I go back further than you do....so you're forgiven if you cannot place him, like I can.
Those were the days....Dad used to wake us up at 3am...and watch the games on the tele. Told you we were sporting MAD

Ah not that much further Berry.
No need for that, just when I was getting to like you
