Australia v Fiji (Sun/Mon)

[Puja]

On today's showing you'll manage that

On today's showing, they should be expecting the victory and topping the group, not worrying sbout getting a losing bonus point.

Puja

I took it to mean a try bonus

So did I when I first read, but it doesn't make any sense that way - any victory will see you top the group, unless you're planning on losing to Georgia.

Which certainly isn’t beyond the realms of possibility.

I’d prefer not to be looking at getting a BP from the Georgia game. If we need to win then that’s fine I’m confident at that. If we know we need a BP then it seems to affect how we play and the wheels could come off.

But you're the only undefeated side. You don't need to worry about BPs at all - just win the next two games and you top the pool. Or even a draw and a win will have the same effect.

Of course, if we beat the Aussies then it’s all good. The Aussies aren’t playing well, but neither are we hence the nerves.

Being Welsh, we are not used to being an undefeated side and being in this position. We have normally screwed it up by now.
