Think everyone outside of the Fly-Blown Hell is pulling for Fiji here.

Chant is already echoing
Fiji. But already a high tackle.
Another high shot, Fiji has go
t to stop this.
3 all, Fiji with some good play leading to this.
Cheap try for OZ
Watching with one eye. Fiji keeping their noses in front.
Aus not making much headway through multiple phases.
Fiji doing ok so far.
Fiji's sharpshooter strikes again. 12-8.
Lekker space for Oz down the middle, then they drop it in contact.
Fiji goes for the corner instead of the points and blows the lineout
Some blunders by Fiji in the lineout on their throw and of course not defending for the quick throw in by OZOZ will come out strong in second half but Fiji is still in it. I'm looking for the spectacular try
Fiji scores a try from a missed catch of a kick.
Lucky with that let off charge down were Fiji
Let's see if Fiji can keep their cool here. Oz doesn't seem to have much in the arsenal to trouble them.
Great opportunity wide for Fiji and the pass goes...nowhere.
They did the same in the game against Wales.
Great counter ruck Fiji but Oz gets the scrum. Lucky.
Fiji has easily been the best team. Australia doesn't seem to have any answers.
Australia brings on the bench players, to see if they can change the flow of the game
True SB but I feel OZ will find a way and that Fiji is hanging on for dear life. I hope Fiji starts keeping the ball in OZ territory
.
Go Oz put the head hunters away!
A traitor has arrived in our midst.
Fiji getting the steals, not their usual style but they need it right now.
Oz not getting anything going.
Fiji the better team, picking them to hold on to this, as long as they don't resort to their typical 7s loose style.
Keeping their heads so far, good signs for Fiji going forward in 15s
Fiji two scores ahead now. 22-8
Come on Fiji! Hang in there.
Their line outs are a problem and that with a rolling maul is a danger for Fiji,
The draw could be a good bet h
ere . . .
Oz back in it, 22-15
Well done Oz.
It looks to me neither Oz nor the wee abs are doing we since we left. I did of course warn them.
Anyhow go Oz I don't like head hunting.
Fiji are fighting to the end
Fiji living on the edge. Kick it down field.
Stupid Oz scrum half goes the wrong way.
Fiji lineout is just terrible.
Another Oz siege ends in a Fiji penalty. They've done well at the tackle.
Damn lineouts are going to cost them the match.
Finally they win one!
And then mess up all the advantage with a wayward pass.
Fiji haven't beaten the Wallabies since 1954?
Good grief!
What a break by Nayacalevu. Oz survives that by the skin of their teet
Well done Fiji!
Fiji haven't beaten the Wallabies since 1954?
This might be the worst Wallaby side since then.
Fiji get a scrum penalty.
Finally Fiji got out of their own way and won something they deserved.
Congrats to Fiji, what a tense match and not
the running game we expected. They did it!!
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.
Well done Flying Fijians, hooray even denied Wallabies of losing bonus point...they have beaten Australia, England, Scotland,Wales, Argentina and France in the past.
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.

Well, this should be a different style of game from the Boks vs Romania game. I would love to see Fiji win this one.
