    Just seen an awesome scrum from Fiji, held the Aussies rock solid for about a minute and won the penalty. Haven't seen that for ages. And already kicking for try attempt rather than for 3 points, Aussies under the cosh, great stuff. Yellow card on the way for the Aussies soon.

    Wallabies have found another gear now though, ominous.

    Aussies cutting through the Fijians with ease. Definitely looking like one of the favourites. Could be a handful for England. They should get their 4 try extra point with ease. Makes the Welsh match on Sat all the more important

    Fiji are not making it easy for the Aussies are they?

    How are you doing in the prediction league Goldie?

    Fiji are a good team, better than when they beat Wales in the 2007 World Cup.

    Nil points for me on that match! Oz was storming it, aided by some Fijian ill discipline. Although Fiji lacked incisiveness in the face of good Oz defence, they certainly pinned the Aussies back in the second hf. Presumably Oz think points were more important than a 4th try, since they kicked a penalty in the 2nf hf when they could have put the ball in the corner.

    The Aussies are playing down the value of the bonus point, but it could prove to be vital.

    NZ v Namibia tonight. I'll be amazed if the All Blacks don't top 100 points, this is the rugby equivalent of a turkey-shoot. What odds of a Namibia try? Pretty long-shot I reckon...

    15 points in the first ten minutes looks ominous and this is the NZ second-string...<yikes>

    34-6 at half time. Namibia have actually shown some spirit up against it. You fear they may tire in the latter stages when the All Blacks juggernaut takes over, I still think the 100 is on if they want it enough...
