Fiji vs Georgia – Fiji -19

Rugby World Cup – Pool C
Stade de Bordeaux, 4:45pm
ITV1, RTE

Fiji have always been one of the most entertaining teams in the world, but while this small pacific island has long delivered some of the most brilliant and athletic players on the planet, they’ve never quite managed to play with structure alongside that.

That is now changing. Fiji pushed Wales to the brink and have defeated Australia for the first time in about 300 years already at this Rugby World Cup. Their scrum and lineout have been solid enough and whilst they are missing their first choice No.10, the dynamism of Josua Tuisova, Waisea Nayacalevu and Semi Radradra – one of the most terrifying backlines in the world – has held them together more than well enough.

I think they’ll simply have too much for the Georgians. Their European opponents will test them in the scrum with their formidable power, but Fiji will put them away with time to spare tonight.

Scotland v Romania – Darcy Graham to Score the First Try

Rugby World Cup – Pool B
Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Lille, 8pm
ITV1, Virgin Media

Poor old Romania, they’re highly likely to finish as the tournament’s whipping boys conceding 158 points after maulings from Ireland and South Africa.

As such, the handicap for this game is quite a large one and we’ll be staying away from that. Scotland will want to be firing on all cylinders with men putting their hands up for selection against the Irish next week and following that theme, there’s one winger I fancy to have an heroic performance this week, Darcy Graham.

Having been seemingly usurped as the starting winger opposite Duhan van der Merwe by Kyle Steyn, Graham will want to have a busy night.

He’s one of, if not the hardest-working winger on the planet when he plays and for a game like this, the high energy, high involvement and doggedness he always shows leads me to believe he’s going to have a rather successful evening.
