Fiji haven't beaten the Wallabies since 1954? 

Good grief!

What a break by Nayacalevu. Oz survives that by the skin of their teet h.

This might be the worst Wallaby side since then.

Finally Fiji got out of their own way and won something they deserved.

Oz look a pale shadow of their former self. 

Next time don't follow the nz get the jarpies. 

The down under loons need South Africa more than we needed them. 

I hope the lesson is being learnt. 

Well done Fiji but do try to cleanup your game.

Fiji have Georgia and Portugal coming up so they could win both games if they keep their heads.

Congrats to FIJI - they were definitely the better team  on the day, 

However, to my mind there is a serious issue that bother me.   Australia has large expat communities from SA  and those people go to rugby matches - especially those when  SA teams  are playing.   .    The end of Super Rugby involving SA has weakened badly Aussie Rugby as a whole since bigger crowds increase revenue from broadcasters.

Comments will be appreciated.    .      .

Simon Raiwalui has improved their rugby since Vern Cotter departed. I think it all depends basically on the coach.

Congratulations Fiji for a well deserved win! Their 15s game is rapidly improving and they are causing headaches at this RWC.

Ture moola but I do miss their electrifying ball in hand play. Let's hope they still have that in their game plan.
