I think they're more F...ing furious, rather than plucky

USA currently have 4 points, so provided they don't get a losing bonus point, NZ are through. Now in that scenario, would Fiji play NZ in the quarters? Would it be worth their while to make sure they don't win by more than 3? Too risky perhaps.

They've already got the losing bonus point - you get that for walking onto the pitch.
1 point for a loss, 2 for a draw, 3 for a win

4 points is the magic number - and puts things down to tries scored, or something; no idea what happens then.
>4 and you go through; <4 you go home.

Someone just came up to me at work and said, "so Japan beat NZ in rugby". I said "yes. Yes they did. Who are you?"
The 'Lympics has increased the profile of rugby in 'Murrica. I could probably look for a job coaching a women's college team now.

Some weak defense there. Fijian offloading just a joy to watch.

Not too impressed with the young Ioane so far this tournament. Looks a little half arsed.
