That's the Ashes done can concentrate on a proper game now,
Sleep is for wimps.


Aussies by 16.

Sorry, but there are no excuses for this crowd! It's a world cup semi final, in BRISBANE... How is this not sold out? This world cup has been the best one ever on the pitch, but it's been let down a little by what I assume must be a lack of marketing off the field. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more left in Wembley watching this game in 2013 than there are at the moment today.

That's my one negative statement done and out of the way, now come on Fiji!

Getting a bit bored with these pre-game cultural challenges.
Bring on the rugby with a bit of biff.

Anyone have a link to a decent radio commentary?

When was the last time you saw the Aussies bomb a try like that? They look a bit rattled if I'm honest...

BBC live scores says 2-0. Are Fiji having a dig? How long is gone? I don't know how I would feel if we won the World Cup without having to beat Australia or New Zealand.....

If Fiji could cut out the silly penalties they are in this. 3 times they have pinned Australia in their own end, and three times given away penalties to let them off the hook.

Fiji strong in the opening minutes but it was when, rather than if, the Aussies would score. 6-2 and more to come.

Having said that Aus have just scored again... Fiji's supposed 'best winger in the world' at least partly at fault for both.

Same. I feel like if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Although, maybe it's more because I'm bored of seeing teams give it the big one in a cultural challenge and then losing heavily. Like a boxer trash talking for months in the build up and then getting flattened in round one.

Could get messy this.

It's not a contest though. Why pay to go and watch it, unless it's £10 or under? For the same reason the BBC don't bother showing these games. I'm watching it on the bookies live stream but I'll probably turn off soon. Got no commentary and I'm listening to what sounds like a load of screaming school kids while watching a one-sided match.
