That's a popular win.
Just a shame they couldn't nick their LBP off them with that last kick as well.
Hire Eddie Jones and the world will be willing you to lose.
Well deserved Fiji.
Pool could still go anyway but hope Fiji progress and they'll be tough to beat whoever they may face.

Great win and much deserved. Shame about the kick at the end there. He made an absolute bollox of that. Don't think they'll care too much, mind.
Can’t wait for Eddie
Probably caught between whether to make sure he got the accuracy or making sure he wellies it enough to go out. Can't blame him. Half the the team were celebrating already so couldn't risk missing it and Australia keeping it in play.
I've enjoyed both of Fiji's games more than any of the football this season.
Stuart Barnes has gone full bell end in his article about Eddie Jones in today’s Sunday Times. The title alone is a piece of unintentional art.
I immediately went to Theroar.com.au and somehow some think that the ref was harsh on Australia.
Definitely the case. As I said, not big deal really; they certainly won't care. Good thinking by the captain in the first place to be honest to even suggest it. He was switched on there.
England Vs Japan
Come on England!
Ah Japan.. Ffs.
Did my eyes deceive me or was that the most non straight line out throw ever?
Why are England the only team in world rugby who celebrate every penalty like that? It’s very strange.
The last one was worse.
Fiji were doing the same earlier. Although it was slightly more understandable given the context.
I generally only watch international rugby but it feels like it’s suddenly just not getting called anymore. Swear it used to get called.
Another question. Why are every Japanese team, in every competition, in every sport, so likeable?
Like everything else they do, it's obviously just to annoy the Irish.
The throw from Japan wasn't straight but it was toward England's line which is nearly never called.
I find that with lots of countries, just a lack of cynicism, honesty of endeavour and trying to do it all with flair.
Probably fair. Literally throwing possession away is punishment enough
There’s something about Japan though. Maybe the complete lack of ego and commitment to the team over the individual? (I have no idea why I think this about them)
To me, it simply comes down to how they approach the game. So for instance, by here, they play with real energy and vigour, while also having very good hands when they have the ball. Simply put: they're great to watch despite the limitations and they have a great attitude. Very little pissing and moaning. I got a lot of time for that.
And there's a distinct lack of cynicism.
No, but I'm out in case we clumsily walk into the racism room.
Feck. Counter ruck was on for Japan there. Should have gone for it.
That's always likeable in a team you have no affiliation to.
I think I just kicked the door open anywayTwo old white dudes in 2023 are always in danger falling against it and it opening wide.
Fecckkk so unlucky there
England look a mess
EDIT: Just as I say that, they score a try

Oh feck off England you lucky cnuts
Stunning try
Oh for feck’s sake. What a gift.
Can’t stand Japan anyway.
So annoying that the underdogs consistently get such basic things wrong.
Terrible attitude on them
Still plenty of time. If Japan maintain their game plan and play their game, England will still have a tough time. Ireland and Scotland aready paid the price 4 years ago.
So unlikeable.
