He owes Dugan a few cartons. Been perfect center attack from him again.

Indeed, many people bag Dugan for whatever reason, but he is always heavily involved and works his butt off.

On another note, it sure has been a rough night for poor Vunivalu - he can't do anything right! Fiji weren't the team I wanted to see receive this thrashing, they deserved better after the way they've play throughout the tournament.
 
Kev tried his guts out…saved a few tries in D ..good on him..

Milne's edge was destroyed no real shame in that tho...was hard to bring down in Attack with a few offloads that came off and a few that didn't..

Can't deny Fiji's effort but Australia far to strong as expected..

Yep this was always Australia’s cup to lose.

Kev is all class.

That right edge was defending really badly as a unit.They were constantly retreating without having cover coming from the inside and it was creating acres of space for Morgan, Dugan and Holmes. Hard to stop players of that quality when they have room to move.
 
Couple of observations last night.

Good to see Fiji get so far in the cup / and for Potter.

Noticed that Dugan can pass the ball - he did it twice.

A monkey could have scored 4 of his tries - both weeks.

What a pathetic crowd for what Queenslanders call the "Home of Rugby League" - this was a World Cup semi final - glad they are not going to get a grand final - 2 people and a dog if there wasn't a QLD team.
 
Congrat's to Fiji and all involved in the team, what a tournament you had!

But Australia another level above… and will be the same next week regardless of who plays them. Our boys didn't play their best game last night but many and better have been embarrassed by a determined Kangaroo outfit.
 
Checchin has his Eng singlet on today
A more one sided refereeing display I havent seen for a while
They'll change an incorrect decision via replay for one team but not the other…very one sided
Pommy video ref totally ignored Fifitas arms under the ball for their 2nd 'try'...which was a 12 point turnaround.

I am thinking the exact same thing. Shamefully biased refereeing. I’d hate to think it’s the case but it seems it has already been determined that Aus will play England in final. Tongans not being given a chance at all.
