The first weekend of the World Cup has already been full of trials and tribulations. The hierarchy was generally respected, with victories for South Africa over Scotland, Ireland over Romania and Australia over Georgia. Not forgetting France’s XV’s win in the opener against the All Blacks.
No wonder Fiji almost beat Wales. Few thought the Islanders could make the difference against the Welsh, who were far from their best. But Bigger and Co finished stronger than expected.World Cup. Announced under a cloud, what if Fiji already slips through to quarter-final qualification?This week, we see the Blues against Uruguay on Thursday, a weekday fixture for the French XV, who will return to action against the Deros in their World Cup opener. The same goes for Portugal against Wales.
We also see Tonga who will not have an easy task against Ireland. It should be close during the match against Romania, with the Tongans managing their preference on the turf.
There aren’t any big clashes between the favorites this week, apart from what promises to be a fascinating England vs Japan and Australia vs Fiji on Sunday evening. The Fijians will be eager to play a big match against the Wallabies, who were serious against the Georgians.
