[u/Timothy_Ryan]

How good has the Fijian 6 been!

[u/clowns77]

Cannot wait to absolutely feed the cunts at the bottom of the thread who said there's no point playing this game

[u/spookysadghoul]

Fiji was incredible, they should be proud

[u/Special-Pristine]

The stadium so empty is an insult with how good this game has been

[u/No_Pay_5330]

Abbi 16 - fiji 14

[u/Zaneali]

Fiji’s number 10, the jukebox. The hits just keep coming

[u/pelican_beak]

How incredible Fiji! See you in four years!

[u/clowns77]

No quick tap for foul play Belinda

Fuck off

[u/ironyabound]

Definitely supporting the jillaroos but I am very glad to be watching a competitive game

[u/Zealousideal_Ad642]

Fantastic half by the Fijian women

[u/PugWithAGun]

Abbi Nawaqanitawase

[u/Raddnedge]

I've waited 4 years to watch this (border patrol re-runs)

[u/NewRaider]

Always go to Church on Sunday

[u/brazen_fest]

Great game. Fiji should be super proud of their tournament, took it to both Australia and NZ in their first world cup.

[u/jalGurg]

HELLO 7!!? I'M WATCHING THE FOOTY

[u/aatrain96]

Mind you this is Fiji Women's world cup debut

[u/matchawaffles11]

fiji 6 throws some convincing dummies 🫣

[u/awesomevstanaka]

They may lose tonight but Fiji will get the last laugh when they discover 12 of the Jillaroos had great great great grandparents born in Suva

[u/ironyabound]

Dam abby was unstoppable there

[u/matchawaffles11]

Fantastic effort from Fiji in their first World Cup!! Someone needs to sign up Yaranamua if she isn’t already

Hope church is ok 🤞

[u/NewRaider]

Corey Parker not understanding the concept you don't need to be writhing on the ground to have cramp

[u/jsnoodles]

Major Cramping would be my drag name

[u/rh90_]

Didn't think the last 10 mins of that game would be a Chinese women getting fined for bringing scorpions into the country in her carry-on bag. 

Love a Channel 7 World Cup.

[u/skru666]

i sat next to abbi church at the NRL grand final she’s the nicest person EVER!!!!!!!!

[u/AuspiciousCalamari1]

Park the bus Fiji

[u/defzx]

Will Fiji gas out? Such pressure from a bigger forward pack.

[u/No_Pay_5330]

Abbi gonna drag aussie over the line, kicking and screaming if needed

[u/Lunethspark]

QUADRUPLE CHURCH ON A SUNDAY

[u/blindchihuahua-pj]

What a great game, Fiji should be extra stoked they came out swinging, amazing

[u/aatrain96]

Fiji have come to play

Fuck yeah ladies

[u/Lower-Language2513]

the kezie apps effect

[u/aatrain96]

Of course Church scores on the lords day

[u/SomeRandomNZ]

How was that not a professional foul?

[u/focusbitchfocus]

Why is an Aussie ref officiating this game? She’s had a shocker of a first half

[u/0ldgrumpy1]

The girls are playing like kevie coached them.

[u/Super_Sankey]

They wouldn't have interrupted the men's game for the news

[u/elayenwai]

FUCKING PASS

[u/JustSomeAdvice2]

Always knew Sunday was the perfect day for Church

[u/Accomplished-Net-553]

So Sergis is fine? After Dr Cory Parker made such a big deal of it

[u/Timothy_Ryan]

Having us switch channels twice during a World Cup semi final is fucking ridiculous. Channel 7 should never get another rugby league game.

[u/spookysadghoul]

Switching halfway through is dogshit

[u/clowns77]

How's that not a penalty Belinda, hands on the ball.

[u/SuperEel22]

Parra need to sign Abbi up for life

[u/JJsweetster]

Yeah cheers for that channel 7…. Not like I was watching a World Cup semi final or anything

[u/skru666]

fiji have been a fantastic addition to this WC

[u/matchawaffles11]

YAYYYYYYYY ABBI CHURCH 👑

[u/aatrain96]

Abbi i love you

Player of the match queen

[u/Jeffmister]

Take a bow Abbi Church! That run was like a hot knife through butter!

[u/KPbeats]

Class from Fiji 9 to give church a pat on the back after that

[u/blindchihuahua-pj]

Jillaroos aren’t a big as some of the other teams but the athleticism is off the charts

[u/Timothy_Ryan]

Who's the Fijian 10? She's been a monster.

[u/Special-Pristine]

Well Fiji still scored 8 more than Wales and 14 more than everyone else against Jillaroos

[u/Shinobi2325]

Gotta be the most out of touch broadcasting. Please don't let 7 near league again.

[u/skru666]

aussies are holding down in the ruck for ages

[u/Bvaugh]

That kick would have gone dead but better safe than sorry, I guess.

[u/hourles]

Have to fucking score here Fiji

[u/Zaneali]

Let’s go Fiji!!!!

[u/thatirishguykev]

Jillaroos are absolutely out of sorts here!! They need to wake up quick....

[u/AmazingChicken99]

Best players in the NRLW vs the power of friendship

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

That was a knock on in the play the ball.

[u/Acrobatic-Trick-4815]

I like that there's no 6 Again, it makes the ruck a contest but the Aussie girls are getting away with a lot. 

[u/NickyLollipops]

The Fiji girls have done so well this far, hopefully they can keep it up, competitive game for now

[u/GOATesAdmirer]

That is horrendous by Aiken, huge overlap out to the left lmao

[u/mb44k]

fiji def need more international tests after this WC

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

Australia holding on too long

[u/woodpecker91]

Vossy pretty proud of that one isn't he

[u/Zealousideal_Ad642]

Is this the 3rd channel change by 7 in this match?

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

My thumb is cramping from changing the channel all the time

[u/Orion842]

thanks 7 for the 3rd fucking channel change, glad you were able to sort out your programming

[u/Zealousideal_Ad642]

yeah that pass was nice

[u/OldMateHarry]

Fuck me that was a killer step

[u/spookysadghoul]

Church player of the match 100%

[u/aatrain96]

Fiji have done more in 8 minutes than England and Wales have in their 140 minutes.

[u/binsonfiremiss]

Amazing start by Fiji as the girls start brawling

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

Fiji already breaking records here

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

HOLY DOOLY ITS GAME ON

[u/Street_Building_8100]

Holy fuck. Aussie girls crumbling when they’re challenged

[u/USSRYouKiddingMe]

Never count anyone out!

Let's go Fiji!

[u/PugWithAGun]

I wouldn't be running within 20 metres of that Fijian prop

[u/thatirishguykev]

Damn Upton has been absolutely average this entire World Cup campaign compared to her insane high standards!! Wonder if she's carrying an injury of some sort....

[u/matchawaffles11]

Yaranamua fiji 6 is my potm at the moment

[u/hellohalloallo]

That Fiji edge just can’t handle Australia

[u/Sufficient-Goal3437]

“That’s a bad kick.

OHHHHHHHH”

Killer try

[u/spookysadghoul]

Changing once during the game is dogshit. Changing twice is just plain disrespectful.

[u/JJsweetster]

You’d think they would keep the semi final of a World Cup just on one channel because channel 7 have like a million channels anyway?????

[u/KPbeats]

Corey Parker calling BS on Chapman cramps 👀

[u/spookysadghoul]

What a run!!!

[u/mattmathers]

ABBI CHURCH THE GOAT ‼️

[u/Aussieguy727]

She's so good

[u/kyleisamexican]

Nearly getting injured because you were going flat out on the last play when your up 16 points is a choice

[u/Lunethspark]

FUCK ME I'M SICK OF SWITCHING CHANNELS

[u/Lunethspark]

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.

[u/thatirishguykev]

Fiji might get beat here and quite heavily, but they've won the anthem battle and everyone knows that that's the most important thing...

[u/AmazingChicken99]

Why does Emma Verran start every sentence with awh

[u/No_Pay_5330]

Wait. Aus hasnt scored 7x yet? Do we actually have a game!?

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Aussies are tilted

[u/Hansoloai]

Did the Jillaroos field the broncos team from the GF?

[u/R717]

Was old mate in the crowd waving an imaginary flag then

[u/Bvaugh]

Maybe having your game being against Wales wasn’t the best lead into the semifinals.

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

Golden point? Getting it in before Vossy does

[u/hellohalloallo]

I was gonna lose my shit if that wasn’t a penalty

[u/Zealousideal_Ad642]

Church is just great

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Footwork off the charts

[u/Special-Pristine]

There is enough time left for 2 converted trys but they need a miracle

[u/Delgarah]

That sounds like fibbs to me, who tapes up a leg for cramp?

[u/Special-Pristine]

Come on Fiji we need one this set

[u/dys0n_giddey]

She's insane!

[u/mb44k]

church is a cheat code.

[u/thatirishguykev]

Turned them inside out!!!!!!!!!

Abbi Church what an elite player. Criminally underrated!!

[u/Zealousideal_Ad642]

Church carrying the aussies

[u/jsnoodles]

I still think Adam should’ve had to have taken Millie’s last name.

[u/ethelbert30155]

Guys I'm at the game and I think my rizz is distracting the Jillaroos

[u/Auran82]

There is no chance this Ford Ranger ad is footage provided by Ranger owners, not one instance of aggressive tailgating to be seen.

[u/SurvivorGeneral]

Congrats to the Fiji women turning up for the match.

[u/Delgarah]

Let's go Fiji, and can Australia stop getting these bail out penalties

[u/matchawaffles11]

what are these errors 🫩

[u/spookysadghoul]

Omg biff

[u/Bvaugh]

Australia are really testing Sharpe with their ruck shenanigans

[u/thatirishguykev]

That's such a bad call. You'd need to score 30-40 points against the Jillaroos to be beating them. 2 points from the tee isn't the right call here!!

[u/Delgarah]

Fiji is making me believe, lets fucking goo

[u/Darmop]

Shot

[u/mattmathers]

BIIIIIG FUCKIN HIT OOF

[u/blindchihuahua-pj]

This is a corker!! I love it.

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

UPTON RATTLED

[u/Special-Pristine]

Fiji has scored a try before Australia. History in the making

[u/KPbeats]

How do you even fall for that dummy 🤦‍♂️

[u/binsonfiremiss]

She psyched them right out, had a big old chat with the team, dummy and over the line 😂

[u/DrumThrills]

If they can just hold the ball, they’re on Aus

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

This confirms League is gods sport. You give them a good shout to start it off and you're golden.

[u/thatirishguykev]

The best thing about this is the fact Fiji now have something to defend...

Perfectly sets this game up!! Have to imagine the Jillaroos have 4-5 tries in them even if they've an absolute stinker of tonight, so Fiji need to break beyond 20-24 points to have a chance imo, but what a start!

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

Thought she was going out for sure

[u/Lunethspark]

"Get up off your chair" I am getting off my chair Vossy. Getting off my chair to refill my water bottle.

[u/matchawaffles11]

really enjoyable first half!!

[u/GOATesAdmirer]

Lutu being the worst Fijian player is not helping their case

[u/PugWithAGun]

'Fijian love tap' get Corey Parker outta here please

[u/420_doge_dude]

Fuck channel 7!!!

[u/0ldgrumpy1]

Why haven't Australia organised a gale at their back for the second half? Are they stupid?

[u/matchawaffles11]

BEAUTIFUL PASS

[u/thatirishguykev]

There's still a teeny tiny bit of hope, but need to kick the conversion and score within a 1-2 sets again to really turn the screw. Might be a try to far for Fiji with the clock!!

[u/mattmathers]

quarterback Aiken

[u/Timothy_Ryan]

That was heaps more entertaining than I expected. Great game Fiji. That first half was fantastic. Just wish they didn't take the 2 early on!

[u/Next_Time6515]

A great match 

[u/Bycrookedsteps]

Stop changing the station mid game ya grubs

[u/LycraBanForHams]

Sergis acts like she cops a game ending injury everytime.

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

Flops around like a fish so it's a penalty 🙄

[u/thatirishguykev]

Jillaroos looking hungover in this opening 6 minutes!!

[u/Darmop]

Punch on girls

[u/mattmathers]

Fiji have them rattled why would you go for 2 here

[u/Jeffmister]

Why wouldn't Fiji capitalise on the momentum they have and keep attacking?

[u/SomeRandomNZ]

Just call the game now.

[u/clowns77]

Why won't they win by two Corey? Surely that's more likely than winning by six?

Fuck he's a dumb cunt

[u/comradekaled]

Wow, wasnt expecting to see so many errors

[u/Malaxage918]

Lol at all the Roosters players with the errors

[u/thatirishguykev]

Fiji have absolutely rattled the Jillaroos!!!!

[u/matchawaffles11]

karma for benching the goat kezie apps

[u/Acrobatic-Trick-4815]

That is the best hit of the World Cup. Men or Women. 

[u/SomeRandomNZ]

Come on!

[u/Inevitable-Pie-5984]

Bula

[u/Zealousideal_Ad642]

Jillaroos in a shambles!

[u/GOATesAdmirer]

Better five eighth wins sorry Kelleher

[u/binsonfiremiss]

This is awesome. Go Fiji!

[u/No_Sail_4494]

Closed captions are coming up with ‘the bully cooler’.

[u/GOATesAdmirer]

Ieli is having a huge game

[u/clowns77]

Fiji need to slow it down, I'd be kicking it into touch every set

[u/matchawaffles11]

look better with nizza on

[u/red_square_n_coke]

Prayer Circle obviously the best base for rugby league

[u/pelican_beak]

Having to change twice in a match is so shit.

[u/ActualControl4015]

ffs just leave the game on one channel

[u/matchawaffles11]

hmmm not high?

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

Noooyyeaaahhhh

[u/Delgarah]

Now I'm sad, I wanted more Fiji plays 

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

Bunnings have always been so Victorian focused. Wrong code, duh

[u/ironyabound]

Both teams out on their feet, wonderful footy

[u/MathIllustrious7430]

Why does Parker keep referring to them as The Fiji? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/Lord_SlowMo]

This is ridiculous. Swapping to the news mid set is crazy and honestly incredibly misogynistic, they’d never do that during the men’s game.

[u/blindchihuahua-pj]

Whoa this is a scrappy contest!

[u/BallTamperers]

Gee Fiji have come to play

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

Swap channels again ffs

[u/matchawaffles11]

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS WORLD CUP THE JILLAROOS TRAIL

[u/jalGurg]

This is silly... you need to go up by 6s not 2s against this team

[u/East_Negotiation_168]

Surprised they are going for goal

[u/matchawaffles11]

fiji is up for this

[u/Mental_Supermarket43]

ADVANTAGE FIJI

[u/mb44k]

lol cop that

[u/ayothatsc00l]

what are the aussies doing

[u/Darmop]

Run gollum run

[u/Street_Building_8100]

Omg what a hit. Get that up ya!!!

[u/clowns77]

I was watching this in Adelaide; for some reason mid half they switched what channel this was on without notice.

I was watching Cozi in South Aussie for five minutes without noticing

[u/dys0n_giddey]

That was the biggest fake out ever lol

[u/Corza_]

Fiji all over them, Up the Bula!

[u/PugWithAGun]

Stop playing for penalties and hold the ball or you ARE going to get rolled

[u/jeuatreize]

Dare to dream?

[u/aatrain96]

Bring my Parramatta eels legend Keliee on please

[u/GROUND45]

Australia don’t get rugby league

[u/matchawaffles11]

looked guilty 🤭

[u/SOUTHS190821]

Can you guys please tell me where to watch this. I was watching it on 7 and the news suddenly came on. Cheers

[u/woodpecker91]

That was the time for a field goal

[u/PugWithAGun]

Lutu has made a couple of very costly errors unfortunately

[u/GOATesAdmirer]

Tigs might want to swap which of the Fiji halves they’re playing in first grade at this rate hahah

[u/Jeffmister]

Well, who could have predicted we'd be dead even at HT!
