Yes, I’d agree with this. One team beating another should definitely be more important than how they both perform against a third team. Especially as the 4 try target is just arbitrary and as you say, there are so many variables – including the weather.
Another way I’ve seen is that if three teams were drawn on group points (say 12, after beating the 4th and 5th team and one of the other top three teams – no BP are used) then only the points for/against difference between the top three teams are used, ignoring the scores against the bottom two teams. That would seem more fair to me.

Predicted Japan to beat SA then did you? :D

Fiji are missing two of their best players. Wales are going to target the line-out and utilise the rolling maul as Fiji’s rolling maul defence has been terrible all tournament.

The scrum is a concern for Wales, Fiji got the hit on England a few times so that’s any area to be mindful of.

Fiji have tired after the 60 minute mark, whereas Wales have only got stronger, so all things considered Wales *should* come through this with a W. BP would be the cherry on top.

I don’t think there are many Wales fans writing off Fiji. In general, I think we’re more nervous about this one than the England game. The conditions all seem perfectly aligned for a big upset.

Col if you want to talk Yellow cards then let me remind you of the Tom Woods retrospective yellow for full pelt kicking Liam Williams in the eye socket. Now at 66 minutes that really would’ve changed the game

Bonus point against a full team Fiji up for it would’ve been a big ask but I think Wales will be happy with four points and no injuries. I’m just praying the Fijians don’t break Biggar early on…

I have not heard one Welsh man saying the Fiji game will be a walk in the park. Everyone I have spoken to are very nervous at the prospect of playing Fiji. The biggest game in 4 years for Wales. Any fan saying anything different is saying it purely for a response, so best ignored. Saying this, if Wales play to thier potential they should come away with a win. I would also like to say England did not play the ref, decisions were made that I did not agree with but evened out throughout the game. Also England panicked, made really poor decisions at crucial periods not the ref

I don’t count Sunday. Sunday is just a blur that was half finishing off Saturday and half sleeping. Had something to celebrate.

Oh wow – blaming the ref!? That is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on here.

Another one of your hilarious jokes I can only assume? Much like your post about getting 4 tries pre-Wales game?

Cheers Brighty glad to have been of service & see maths isn’t your strong point, it’s taken me 4 days to be able to watch the game on TV – still hurts but it was fun at the game & good banter with the Welsh fans sitting in front.
I’m sure you also said somewhere that it was a definite yellow card, don’t you agree ??
I said it was indicipline that cost us, the yellow card would have changed that outcome & the momentum of the game but not necessarily the result which was a credit to the Welsh Team as I have also said before.

*a handful of welsh people* are so overconfident with this one it is disrespectful to Fiji

There, I fixed it for you Col.

As for the rest of what you say … I am impressed. It’s taken nearly 3 whole days for me to see my first “it was the ref that cost us” claim from an Englishman. 3 whole days. That’s 2 days and 23 hours longer than it took after 2013.

Aye, the pressure is still on. It’s a world cup. There are no rest matches in the group of death. However, I’m much happier going into tomorrow on the back of a win than I would be going into an Aus match on Sat on the back of a loss….

only got 1 result wrong so far in a game I did say was too close to call, and a cynic would put that down to a referee failing to punish a professional foul on wales 5m line with a yellow card. Ignoring the 12 English penalties most of which resulted in welsh points of course.

Wales are so overconfident with this one it is disrespectful to Fiji

Results wise nothing has changed since beating England only a win is good enough for Wales which is why the pressure is still on.
