Congratulations Fiji. Love from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 As a Wallabies fan it's not just that you deserved to win that game in particular, it's also the years, the decades over which you have fed talent into other countries, especially Australia. I hope you go on to be real giant-killers in this tournament. No one deserves success more than Fiji.

Are you really serious?

@Tony Roy Absolutely! Marika Koroibete, Samu Kerevi, Lote Tuqiri, Speight, Vunivalu, the list goes on (and on and on). Australia is a currently a second tier rugby nation. Without Pacific Island players generally and Fijians specifically we would be third tier.

Was cheering for you Fiji, you’ve made me a proud pacific neighbor 🇼🇸 History 😌

Excellent

Much love Uso

Congratulations Fiji. From Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾. In the 2019 RWC we had an incredible win against you. But you keep getting better.

Muchas Gracias❤🎉

As a Bokke 🇿🇦 fan, my heart was with Fiji 🥰 Congratulations

Absolutely

We witnessed something truly special! Congratulations Fiji 🇫🇯

Exactly

Congratulations Fiji Love from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

What this boet said!!!! HUGE Fiji!! Congratulations!!

SA loves Fiji❤❤

Yes Fiji ❤ you also won against Wales in our books ❤

The power of the brai

I was rooting for Fiji with all my heart, keep it up! An excellent team victory, but I would like to note the brilliant performance of Kuruvoli💪 Congratulations from Ukraine🇺🇦

If anyone had said prior to this RWC that Fiji would defeat the Wallies WITH THE BOOT, no one would have thought it possible at all !!! Monumental !!!

nah, everyone knows the wallabies have been on the decline, they are even ranked lower than fiji in the world rankings

Australia are keeping their powder dry.......It's not over till it's over.

@DavidJMa keepin they powder dry for another azz whoopin...lmaoooo

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT

Congratulations for the Historic WIN.. Your greatest fan from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬.. FIJI👏 👏 👏

Seriously thought they would blow it like they usually do but they held on through some heart in mouth moments 👏

Huge congrats Fiji. The rise of the Pacific Nations is now. Watch out world! Huge respect from this Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As an All Blacks fan, I was cheering Fiji the whole way o this match. No hate to the Wallabies at all but Fiji has been a sleeping giant for decades. The Fijian Drua awesome performances during this years Super Rugby season was an indication of how far Fijian rugby has come and has rippled into their international game. I reckon if they can keep this level of rugby up or reach higher levels as the tournament goes on, then I reckon they could even pull off appearing in the Final since they don't have to contend with the likes of the All blacks, Ireland, France and South Africa on their way to the Final. They beat England not so long ago and Wales were lucky to get that win if Fiji didn't drop the ball. I could blabber on but this rugby world cup has become even more exciting as the so called lower tier teams are pulling off upset wins through years of grinding, management, timing of peak performances and of course SELF BELIEF!!! Can't wait for the upcoming matches in the pool rounds :) LET'S GO!!!!!!

Great comment. Rugby should be like this. I’m English and so am in the position to sit back and enjoy🙈 Good luck to your lads.

Nor can I

Fijian Drua!! Autocorrect probably changed it to Dura

Fiji , Fiji and if the reef had taken his eye patch off when they played Wales Fiji would be top of their Pool . Big money versus a tiny island nation 🇫🇯 🇫🇯 Fiji hope Samoa 🇼🇸 and Tonga 🇹🇴 can start winning as well

@Mus Masi fixed it :)

Love Fiji! Real warriors. My fav team from this world cup

im Australian and im proud of what the Fijian team has done here!!! congrats guys you deserve it

Couldn't be more happier for Fiji ❤❤❤ Lots of love from an English ❤

Espectacular Fiji !!!! Support from Uruguay 🇺🇾 Well done!

Muchas Gracias❤🎉

As an African Australian it makes me proud to see Fiji finally become a household name in 15's, been a big fan of their 7's side since I started watching rugby! Congratulations my Fijian Brothers, unlucky Australia, hopefully this gets Rugby Australia to start focusing on building up homebred talents by investing in grassroots more! 🙌🏿

I hope the sport grows here in Australia. As you know it's a very niche/minor sport in Australia, but there is so much potential here. Well done Fiji! Love their passion for the game!

@cool dude SO true bro, most of the talent in Australia gets snatched up by the NRL because Rugby Australia wants to keep it in private schools. It's good that it's now becoming accessible to public schools and local clubs

​@Charon De'SousaYou can't just make people play it, it has to be popular first.

​@Charon De'Sousa Too late, it's a dying sport in Oz.

Amazing Fiji! Cheers from Uruguay 🇺🇾 💪💪

Quality game. Acknowledging our Australian brothers for a great game and also Australia for all your support both financial and otherwise to develop our game!

Love to Fiji from RSA! 🇿🇦🇫🇯

ove to SA from Rhodesia

Agreed 100%

As an England fan I can say thank you Fiji for making my day!

I loved it well done FIJI 🇫🇯 👏👏👏👏👏 Good on you guy’s Love from Samoa 🇼🇸

Boom. Love the style of rugby fiji plays. its exhilarating and this year, they seem to have added the much needed precision in passing that caused them to lose many games in the past despite playing attacking quick rugby. They have been banging on the rugby union door for years and this should give them the confidence to reach the next level

Love to holiday in Fiji, beautiful country and people...congratulations on making history, from a respectful Aussie.

No such thing as a respectful Aussie.

@Steven😂😂😂 yes, Israel Folau 👀🤭😂

Nice mate. Proper rugby mentality.

@Stevenunnecessary.

​@Iain Littleis Cricket 🏏 popular in Fiji ?

Well done Fiji what a good win on the world stage. Their kicker was spot on.

Congratulations to Fiji you make all Pacific Islanders proud👌👌👌❤

As an Aussie I’m not even mad. Well done Fiji!!!!

Congratulations Fiji.. Love from PNG 🎉🇵🇬🥳🥳

The support for our pacific brothers around the world is amazing.

It’s entirely predictable and absolutely earned!

I'm Australian and I'm happy for Fiji. They were the better team, it was a much deserved win and great for the game overall. Congrats!

Congratulations Fiji from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👏🏻

England are boring! Go Fiji! haha

If one pacific nation wins, we all win. Like Toa Samoa and MMT have done for league.

As an Aussie, I totally tip my hat to Fiji’s performance today. The wallabies were outclassed in almost every respect. The three things that I thought were terrific about Fiji were their power and retention at the breakdowns, finding a reliable kicker who can slot penalties, and of course their never say die attitude. Quarter finals here they come. 🎉🎉🎉

Vinaka brother 🙏🏾

This must be one of the best World Cups in my life, seeing these teams doing so great . Really excited for the upcoming games. Well done Fiji , you deserve it.

Vive la Fidji, forever Fiji 🙌 good to see they had a consistent referee for this match.

Genuinely stoked for Fiji from Australia

Me too. If Aussies can't win this thing, I hope either Fiji or Ireland do. Go Fiji!!!

Yeah we’ve basically given up as a country huh.

@Jono Leech Not given up but I personally love the style of Fiji Rugby.

@Timothy Simon Our best player is from Fiji and we still can't beat them. We better make the finals or I am gonna neck myself

To see a Fijian flying across the try line and putting up a great performance is simply amazing. One of my favorite pacific teams. Much love from South Africa

Fantastic and much deserved result for Fiji. Their 7s teams have been leaders in that version of the game since its inception on the international stage. The same should be true of their 15 a side teams too! I hope this is a step in that direction🙏 Would love to see them win RWC 2023😀 Congrats from an Anglo-Irishman and friend of Fiji! Toso Viti !

That was a proper comeback from Fiji after losing to Wales a few days ago. I hope they will carry on playing like this in the remaining matches. Go Fiji. 👊

That's it for Us Consistency

@Abe Tiko They were robbed against wales. Pathetic bias ref.

@Rolo Tomasi Absolutely but if we utilized most of our Opportunities the ref argument won't be an issue

Great work Fiji. From the highlights it doesn't look like a classic of running rugby, but you got the points and it keeps you in the running to qualify for the quarters. Well done.

Fiji didn't want to run the ball as much like the game against Wales because they worry they might end up playing catch up rugby again...this is a better decision game plan by the Fijians...good game overall

Congrats Fiji! Love you guys. played really well. keep that strenght and spirit in every game. love from Papua New Guinea

Love to see it Fiji, amazing. Love from the welsh ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Finally, a comment from a Welsh!! heheh

@Cozzy Internet hahaha

Hopefully Fiji will figure out how to obtain their own lineouts for the next game. If they do that, we'll see much better games from them.

Couldn't have said it better......

A win is a win

'Obtain'? You mean win?

Its impressive to win without a lineout. They lost 5 in a row in the second half!!! If they can use the next games against easier teams to sort that out they will be dangerous in the knock-outs!

We beat australia, a top tier team, save your comments let us celebrate 😂

Congratulations my Fiji🇫🇯 Well done to our warriors, Back here in the islands, the Kavas are flowing from 6 pm to 6 am, Felt like no one in my village slept just to watch the game, Almost lost my voice cheering for you Tagane's, Thank you Australia our Pacific Neighbor for great game. Cheehooooooo!!🌊🇫🇯

Estos son los partidos que marcan el recuerdo de un mundial. Tremendo Fiji venciendo a una potencia.

Felicidades a Fiji🏉 💪 por haberle ganado a una potencia como Australia.. saludos de Argentina!

Muchas gracias❤

igualmente fiji

As Phil Gould would say “nothing good ever comes from letting the ball bounce”

I think he says "You invite disappointment into your life when you let the ball bounce".

A rugby league reference in a rugby forum, brave

@chalkandcheese Can't we just all get along?

@garethb1961 Rugby in Australia is on life support, so teaming up with league could be their only option in the future.

Lmao🤣

Man those conversions were on point. Well-deserved win Fiji, Always a delight to see the Wallabies getting thrashed by a Pacific Island nation. Much love from PNG 🇵🇬🙌

Great game by the Fijians, on defense they were almost perfect, oddly not so much on offense, but if they were a little bit more precise on the touches they would probably have the bonus point

I've always loved Fijian rugby and I'm absolutely delighted with this result, it's right up with Japan beating South Africa. Well done Fiji! And good luck with the rest of the tournament.

It really isn't, Australia are a rabble, saffers weren't and made the semi's

...definitely not in the same category of upset. Japan played unbelievably against a great team. Australia aren't a great team at all this year.

@Iarla I can't argue that, but nonetheless, in terms of upsetting the world rugby order it IS equally immense, and hopefully will provide a great fillip to further Fijian development. And if you think in terms of the bookies, and odds given then it is just as great an upset.

@Iarla PS. If the game against Wales hadn't been so poorly refereed, perhaps Fiji would now have 2 wins out of 2!

Just checked the odds for both. They weren't the same at all.

Amazing. There are no “small teams” anymore. Historic win.

Luxembourg

Congratulations Fiji. You will go through this group 100%. I hope we both do 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Let’s go Fiji! Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

Fiji deserves its place in the Rugby Championship; along with Samoa, Tonga, Chile, and Uruguay. It is all about expansion in rugby and NOT being too conservative by only have four nations playing. Message to SANZAAR 🏉 🇫🇯 🇦🇺🇿🇦 🇳🇿🇼🇸 🇦🇷🇨🇱🇺🇾

They're are scared of the outcome as witnessed today. That is just the effect of the Druas inclusion into super rugby. Imagine a championship with the current 4 nations. The tier 1s will be beaten more often in their own turf.

Kiwis won't like this as they will arrogantly dislike the 'lack of competitiveness' such as against the Wallabies

I think keeping it close within the pacific is the better option. Argentina can potentially look at playing within a south American competition as its a better timezone for them and fans.

Wonderful! So happy for Fiji, richly deserved

WOW!! AMAZING work Fiji you hung in there and brought it home !! FANTASTIC game !!

Great bounce back win after a heartbreaking loss to Wales. Fiji is always such an entertaining team to watch. Congratulations to Fiji on an historic win! Much love from 🇨🇦

Might be a blessing in disguise losing the first one in a heartbreaking fashion because Fiji look stronger and more Resilient than ever before. Go Fiji. Much love from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🇫🇯

AS A SOUTH AFRICAN I HOPE FIJI MAKES IT WITH WALES TO THE QUARTER FINALS

As a Kiwi I hope springboks get knocked out

​@crikeyone and as things stand, Boks are going knock AB out in the QFs

why u scared you can’t take em?@Chris

Rather Fiji + Oz. Wales doesn't deserve it.

Well done Fiji you deserve the win , as an Australian , Fiji.. go all the way .

So proud of these boys, all the best to your next games my brothers. God bless you Fiji Team

Congratulations Fiji...love from PNG🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬...Make us all Melanesians proud!!

Fiji well done ✅, hard work and effort really do pay of love always 🇿🇲

Well done Fiji! You've made history! From SA 🏈🇿🇦

Let's go Fiji 👏👏👏 Support from 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬

Congratulations Fiji! A well deserved victory!

Congratulations to Fiji from Australia, you played a brilliant game, you definitely deserve the win

Congratulations Fiji. Very well played. 🇿🇦

The kicker is too good. Congratulations Fiji. Well deserved victory. 🇵🇬💯🙏 Support from PNG.

WELL Done Fiji ❤❤❤ Love from New Guinea 🇵🇬

More excited to watch this game than my own countries 😂 🇿🇦

But also yess, Fiji ftw 🇫🇯

😂😂🇿🇦🇫🇯

😂😂

Love the support😂❤

yes, true, your team had easy matches! they were boring! 😄 but the real matchup is against Ireland!! 😃

I am an old British soldier and I suppose I have to be an England fan. I served in my time with Fijians in my regiment. Tam Tamani, Joe Luva and Sammy Vuniwaka. I would dearly love Fiji to win the rugby world cup, not only for sentimental reasons but also, I believe they can do it!

Congratulations boys🎉 🎊🎆✨ . You've done us really proud 👏🏾 😊. Vinaka vakalevu na waqe ra cauravou.

Well deserved win played really well, but man Fiji have got so much work to do on their lineouts and ball retention sloppy passes now and then. If they fix those areas they will be an unstoppable force! Great crowd and lovely atmosphere a game overall worth watching!

Congratulations to the Fijian team.A win that pacific islanders celebrate.Cheers from PNG.

That was an awesome game. Keep the spirit of rugby union alive. Well done Fiji. As a Pacific islander I am so proud. It is a monumental victory for you Fiji.

Well done Fiji! I am sure the Fijians at home are celebrating big time!!! Well deserved and solid kicking game today!

Yes, big celebration already with tooting horns and kava drinking. There will be a lot of sick leave today 😂

Thank you Lord for guiding our boys to a historic win 🙏❤️

As a south african i feel we have the most talented rugby genetics as a country second to only fiji an nz, what a win sleeping giants waking 🔥

A great comeback for Fiji. Loved it!!! Love from India.

I really REALLY hope that Fiji don't end up rueing that last missed penalty... not denying Australia a losing bonus point could yet be so crucial in this group

Congratulations Fiji. Love and support from 🇹🇴

Fiji to be included in the rugby Championship. Make it happen world rugby

*SANZAAR

Yeah I was thinking that yesterday 🤔

I knew this was going to happen, Australia have been rubbish for a while now. Nothing but respect to Fiji for getting the job done. This will hopefully be the wake up call RA need. But I foresee another 10 years of mismanagement.

So happy for Fiji, as they have been at the wrong end of the refereeing decisions in the previous game as well.. well deserved, hope they can go to the next stage.

Congratulations Fiji..the kicking was superb!!

CONGRATULATIONS FIJI YOU DONE IT FOR YOUR PASIFIKA BROTHERS AND SISTERS LOVE FROM 🇼🇸❤🇫🇯

Well done Fiji 🎉

At long last!! Sixty-nine years it took and in a world cup so well deserved. Toso Viti! One game at a time guys, you know the drill.🏉💪👍☝️🏈

Wow didn’t know it took that long… but better late than never! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

That means how powerful is australian team😃❤️

World rugby should put every dollar they have into Fiji. They're the one team that reminds you how rugby used to be played. Best team to watch by miles.

INCREIBLE!!AGUANTE FIJI!!

glad Fiji were able to win this one. They've been hard done for the last two games at least. Should be 2-0 and could have been 0-2 given how poor/inconsistent some of the officiating has been towards them.

Showing that they're a team to be reckoned with. Beat England for the first time recently, almost pulled off an amazing comeback against Wales and now put the Aussies to the sword.

🇫🇯 ❤ 🥳 So geil wie die gekämpft haben ✊ Hat so Bock gemacht zuzugucken! Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🎉🎊 🍾 Sieger 🏆 der Herzen!

congratulation fiji👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 love from Samoa 🇼🇸🇼🇸

Best of luck to Samoa, too!

Well done Samoa against Los Condores 🇨🇱 Prolly you all have the strenght and quality to beat Los Pumas 🇦🇷 and qualify to QF. Good Luck from Chile.

@F.A. B.M. thank you, your guys played well too, good heart from guys who have to work regular jobs then go to a rugby world cup, best of luck in your two remaining games.

Yes big win for Fiji… congrats to them! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

Samoa vs Argentina.......another upset gonna happen..go manu!

Desde México felicidades a fijii ❤ son unos guerreros

Thank you boys for the great game you guys made us proud ❤❤❤❤

Bravo to my Melanesian Brothers!!!!!Go Fiji go, you were the formidable side. Watching from PNG❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

CONGRATULATIONS FIJI Love from the U.S 🇼🇸🇦🇸

Spectacular game to watch! Congratulations Fiji 👏

Such a cool reaction from the Fijian coach after such a historic win!

The guy was like 🗿🗿🗿

lol yeah i saw that, like it's no big deal

Was the coach the guy with badges on his hat?

because he knew there were some missed opportunities for more points cause now wallabies still have points on the tally to possibly make QF.

I think he felt it too...most probably because he was a Wallabies Assistant Coach @ last previous rugby world cup so he's playing against them now..😉🙏

Well done Fiji 🇫🇯 very proud of you you deserved that win I’m from Australia a bit upset but we’ll done ✅
