Blew a bonus point for you. Terrible - your lot should be disappointed with themselves. :P

This is tackle to victory, no carrying, kick it away rugby. And it worked. Utter catastrophe for Eddie and Australia.

We probably could have gone to the corner when we have a three score cushion a bit more, but turning the screw worked well

Hopefully we don’t play England. With both sides kicking the ball it could resemble team tennis

Lesson for SA - have someone who can get it between the posts. I've lost count of how many times.

It will take quite the Fijian screw up not to beat Portugal and Georgia (no disrespect to either)
I'm not convinced Australia will beat Portugal on that showing.

I was groaning when Anscombe missed his first kick, but he more than made up for it.

I mean, we quip, but the atmosphere in camp will be depressed to say the least after the last two games and I don't think Eddie has the capability to pick up a team whose morale is that low - history suggests that when it starts going wrong, his teams tend to implode rather than rally. It's going to be a miserable week and, if Fiji get 5 points against Georgia on the Saturday, then could be confirmed out the day before their game.

It's possibly worth a small flutter...

Anscombe. Fair enough really, although I'd've given it to Morgan.

Portugal aren’t the pushovers everyone expected them to be. If they can get a quick score or 2 then anything is possible.

We scored 34 past them in the autumn, but they scored 39, defence wins the day.

The Bar Oz in Lille last night. All cheering for Wales (which was a new experience for me! 😀)
