The Wallabies’ Rugby World Cup campaign is in crisis after the men in gold suffered the country’s first loss to Fiji in 69 years in their second pool match in France.
As far as spectacularly bad Wallabies performances go, this was right up there, as thousands of Australian fans in gold jerseys who’d travelled to France sat in disbelief watching their team capitulate in remarkable fashion.An injury-ravaged Wallabies side, without captain Will Skelton , prop Taniela Tupou , have gone down 22-15 to Fiji and are facing the prospect of being eliminated in the group stages of a Rugby World Cup for the first time ever.
He was seen wearing a moonboot on the sidelines before the match, which leaves his availability for upcoming pool matches against Wales and Portugal in jeopardy. Both sides banked a penalty each in the opening 12 minutes in a high-energy period where Fiji controlled the pace of the game and showed their desire to throw the ball around.
