Well they can't use Sky commentators.

TJ and a few other Sky guys were a host broadcaster last RWC despite Nisbo being on the Sky comms for AB games.

Not that There should be Sky comms on the game - just surprised to hear Sean Maloney commentating an Aussie game on the official World Rugby feed the same way I would be hearing the Alternative Collective Collective or Twelfth Man doing an ICC World Cup game.

Fiji have some big units all across the park. So the back end of the game will be most telling.

[jegga]

Fiji up 8-0 over that other team

[Kirwan]

A lot of knock ons and forward passes seem to be called play on so far

[ACT Crusader]

Is anyone else put off by the yellow stripes on the Wallabies shorts?

I'm put off by the entire Aussie strip.

The jersey is an awful shade of yellow too.

[Bones]

@Kirwan yeah a couple of blatant forward passes ignored in that aussie movement. O'Keeffe a bit overwhelmed? Not getting much help from the far side touchie.

[Nepia]

Fiji are all good, they're playing in the Magpies alternate strip for when they play Auckland.

[kiwiinmelb]

Was just about to say Can’t help but think aus are playing into Fiji’s hands a bit by going wide so early when they get possession

[ACT Crusader]

Better line speed by the Aussies after a dominant scrum.

Hooper over.

[Kirwan]

Boo the bad guys score

[Machpants]

Good work there by hooper

[Kirwan]

Fiji scrum is poor

[taniwharugby]

I wish refs didnt allow the subs to come into the field of play like that, too many teams do that.

@ACT-Crusader I am more annoyed by the huge RWC logo in the bottom right corner

Looks like the Fiji loosehead has buckled at both scrums.

[Kirwan]

Wallabies should stay up the middle, going wide early just helps Fiji

I have to look at FOX on the top right of mine which is worse.
