Only a Portuguese victory in the final game of Pool C in Toulouse will give Australia hope of progressing to the quarter-finals, and even then it might not be enough.
Os Lobos haven’t won a game this tournament, but if they do manage to pull off a victory today, they could knock Fiji out of the quarter-finals and move the Wallabies into the next stage - it all depends on bonus points.
Let’s keep rolling on the assumption that Portugal win - for Fiji to stay in this tournament they would need to get a bonus point. Teams can get a bonus point two ways:If Fiji lose but get a bonus point, the Wallabies are sent packing. If Fiji lose and don’t get a bonus point, Eddie Jones gets a shot at redemption. But if Fiji win, goodbye Australia.It’s Fiji taking on Portugal - the final match of the World Cup group stages and the game that will determine Australia’s fate.
If Fiji win, Australia are out, simple as that. But, if Portugal win, it’s a bit more complicated .Fiji take on Portugal in the final Pool C game.
