RUGBY WORLD CUP
URGUAY 30-27 FIJI
SLIPERY SILVA

 Fiji fullback Veitokani executes a beautiful chip and gather and he’s into open pasture and flings it wide left to Nakosi who is tackled but Uruguay are lying all over it. The penalty is put in touch and from the lineout hooker Delokoto gets it back off a short throw and is in.
Uruguay are running it from their own 22 before Arata decidese this is silly and puts the box kick in. It looks a little too deep but nakarawa flings an offload to no-one but the ground which Arata pounces on to run in and finish in stepping style from 30 metres out. Berchesi slots the conversion.
 Fiji win the lineout and it’s Delokoto again on the inside pop, but this time he’s hauled down, but Fiji still have it, moving it left and right. There’s very nearly a turnover after Freitas clamps on, but Fiji get it out and the prop is over from inches a couple of phases later. Matavesi makes no mistake with the kick
 Lineout goes to tail and it’s gathered and rumbled, a phase later and lock Manuel Diana is forcing himself over from 3 metres. Fiji looked extremely disinterested in defending with any aggression there. Berchesi with the conversion
 This is a bloody lovely try. Uruguay work it right to left, riding tackles and confidently handling out of the tackle or drawing the man and giving. Centre Cat receives it out left from a lovely inside offload from Rodrigo Silva and they’re in again. Berchesi kicks an outstanding conversion from out wide. This is brilliant!

A very nasty accidental clash of heads here between Rutiniyawara and Cat sees the Uruguay centre on the deck with blood spilling under his eye - he’s off for an HIA. Ref Gauzere has given the penalty for high tackle, which seems harsh. And the fly half extends their lead!
 Fiji are up into the 22, it’s worked right to Ratuva who batters over. Uruguay looking like they are tiring here, perhaps inevitably.
Uruguay are in the Fiji 22 again, it’s a solid phased set and they inch closer with every carry. After 15 phases Fiji are off their feet and it’s a penalty our right on the 15 metre line. Berchesi fancies it. He’s only gone and kicked it! 19 minutes to history for these lads now.
Fiji are up to the Uruguay line via 17 phases of play and Matawalu picks up, dummies and falls over the line to score.
Uruguay have a penalty! It’s in front and about forty metres out. Captain Gamanara, who has been unbelievable, tells Berchesi to slot it for the team. And he’s slotted it!
Fiji take the scrum and Matawalu has a trademark pick and snipe to score. That’s the losing bonus point

MY OPINION
Fiji are showing signs of weakness in this match as it was one to make sure that they are targeting for the quarter finals as they would have been expected to win this match quite comfortably a problem with this this match is the fact that the country of Uruguay will not care about this result as much as Fiji will be shamed by it

FA CUP LAST 16 4-3-20

FA CUP LAST 16 PORTSMOUTH O-2 ARSENAL SOKRATES GOT SKILLS Arsenal were fortunate to go into the break a goal up, and it came from an unlikely source as Sokratis controlled a volley into the bottom corner from Reiss Nelson's dangerous cross Nelson created the second shortly after the break, taking on his man on the right before delivering for Nketiah to bundle home from close range https://www.skysports.com/football/portsmth-vs-arsenal/report/423680 MY OPINION Arsenal have not had the best of seasons so far so this might be their only way into Europe. A weakened team can do a go0od job here as for Portsmouth they can now concentrate on whether or not they get promoted    CHELSEA 2-0 LIVERPOOL WILLIAM ADDS TO ANFIELD WOES Mere seconds after making a splendid double-save, one of them from a Willian drive from distance, Adrian has a shocker. Trying to play the ball out from the back, Fabinho loses the ball, gifting Willian a shooting opportunity from about 2...

CONFEDERATIONS CUP GERMANY 4-1 MEXICO GREAT GORETZKA Leon Goretzka scored twice in the opening eight minutes as Germany beat Mexico 4-1 in Sochi to join Chile in the Confederations Cup final. The Schalke midfielder swept home a Benjamin Henrichs pass from 20 yards and then slotted home from Timo Werner's through ball. Werner then tapped home Jonas Hector's pass to increase Germany's lead. Marco Fabian scored a brilliant 35-yard strike for Mexico, before Amin Younes added a fourth for Germany. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40410798 MY OPINION Germany has shown in this competition that they are definitely the team to watch out for in this competition and moving forward. I feel that you cannot call them anything but hot favourites against Chile as they look impressive in world cup qualifying while Chile do not look as impressive . I say Germany 2-0 Chile in final LEDVIA TALIN 0-2 CORK CITY BRILLIANT BUCKLY  Goals from Garr...

ALL IRELAND FINAL REPLAY DUBLIN 1-18 0-15 KERRY MIGHTY MURTUGH An absorbing first half ended with the sides locked at ten points apiece, though in the early exchanges it was all one-way traffic as the blue Dublin wave crashed into the Hill 16 end. After nine minutes they were 0-05 to 0-01 ahead and Paul Mannion dropped one short to keeper Shane Ryan. Such was their dominance at this stage that another point would have put real distance between the sides. Kerry tried route one early on, bombing ball after ball into David Clifford and getting absolutely zero return. Mick Fitzsimons took over the marking duty on Clifford from Jonny Cooper, who played a spare man in defence having been sent off before half-time in the draw. The Kingdom also tried a full-court press on Stephen Cluxton’s early kick-outs early, but the Dubs’ captain, just like the television ad, brings us the wonderful every day and he pinged the ball to his men, drawing appreciative applause from the crowd...
