Fiji break 69 YEAR Wallabies curse | Australia v Fiji | Rugby World Cup 2023 Extended Highlights

A try from Flying Fijian Josua Tuisova and some superb kicking from Simione Kuruvoli and Frank Lomani saw the Fiji defeat Australia for the first time since 1954 and, in the process, threw Pool C of Rugby World Cup 2023 wide open!
The result put pressure on Eddie Jones's Wallabies and left them knowing if they didn't beat Wales a week later, they were effectively out of the Rugby World Cup and would be the first time ever that Australia had failed to make it past the pool stages.

O my lord, this happened in an rwc Eddie Jones you legendary coach 🙏

[@sp6450]

9:14 - So we're just gonna pretend this didn't happen? - You didn't see the part where he pushes the guy as if its American Football.

​@@sp6450 the that's called shoulder to shoulder

[@sp6450]

@@geghsgamer5540 No its called, dude didn't have the ball and so to push him aside is a foul.

[@CharlCrowie1]

One of my favourite moments of the World Cup, Fiji were my second team

[@cheketakarangi5055]

Same 🇳🇿🇫🇯

[@KDucky]

Kuruvoli kicking game has been great lately

[@arend463]

wow that first try from Australia should not have been allowed

[@reatiii]

You're right

[@Samizouza]

It was a 50-22 to Australia hence the quick throw in unfortunately

[@user-gc7wi5og9b]

It’s a 50:22

[@iseidelana1546]

Not the 50/22. It’s Rory Arnold playing the ball on the ground.

Excellent, Fiji!

This was when Eddie Jones organised the meeting with Japanese Rugby 😂

[@Yasuke1998]

Nawaqanitawase and Vunivalu scoring against Fiji...Lovely Australian names there 😂 I love the Wallabies and I have no doubt next world cup they'll be back better than ever but no matter how you look at it, Fiji really took the dub this day 💯👏

[@chaosablesFJ]

i love the fact how all the tries was made my fijians

[@honahwikeepa2115]

Great win Fiji 😎💪

Imagine if this poor Aussie team were in the New Zealand group or in the south Africa group...😂😂😂

nice

I came here to find this comment

[@patricknaidu8543]

the fact it was the ragone

[@user-kx5tt8yg2o]

5:00

[@khalidahemad3644]

To be honest this was best fiji team ever... If fiji coach picked volavola and not tela than we would ha e been in semi final...

[@raymondkuruvoli8898]

Bro even in two World cup, Ben Volavola's playmaking ability couldn't take Fiji into the 2015 & 2019 Quarterfinals.

[@khalidahemad3644]

@raymondkuruvoli8898 you correct.... But we would had made quarters in world cup before this if our coach did not fill second string team against Uruguay whom we lost to.... Secondly this world cup we had better team compared to last 2.... Thirdly our number 10 was in picnic...

[@matteobannatyne6279]

Playing the ball on the ground at 5:02 right in front of the refs eyes which leads to an Aussie try.

[@avineshkumar8143]

Surprisingly all points scores in the game was by Fijians

[@DRIVER-SEBVET]

That 1st try should not have happened , should've been a penalty to Fiji here for playing the ball on the ground here 5:42... Somehow Australia got away with it, unbelievable 😂😂😂

[@CharlCrowie1]

Yeah wondered how Arnold got away with playing the ball on the ground

[@omeshsingh8091]

Even if you allowed the playing the ball on the ground, explain to me how Australia kick the ball out and then proceed to have a quick throw-in. They not supposed to have possession once they kick the ball out. The only way for you to retain line-out possession is if you kick a penalty to touch.

[@zyrusdean5381]

@@omeshsingh8091 it's a law called the 50:22 rule that world rugby brought in from rugby league in 2021, if an attacking team kicks the ball from anywhere in their own half and it bounces inside the opposition’s 22 before then bouncing into touch, the kicking team gets the throw

[@Samizouza]

​@@zyrusdean5381 Of course, the 50-22 quickie

[@joogster2870]

first? great match

[@HannahMarimyas]

I thought Vuinavalu was Fijian

[@esiracakacaka2832]

He is

[@Jaydogoon]

Fiji vs lil fiji😂😂😂

[@jerryhiku1915]

Another referee and officials blunder.Fiji always get ripped off by blunders from officials.

[@Waywind420]

Eddie Jones really think's he's a ''good selector'', but I really don't rate this match 23 In fact I think they'd lose to the Brumbies

[@Samizouza]

Team was pretty much dominated by Rebels, Tahs, and Force players looking at the squad

[@Waywind420]

@@Samizouza Pretty crazy. The best Aussie Super rugby team got the least amount of players in the Wallabies Squad 😬 Almost as if Eddie was purposely sabotaging their chances and interviewing for other roles mid world cup tournament 🙄 Disgraceful. You could have picked 23 Brumbies for Australia and probably made the WC semi finals with them. Lacking pure talent sure, but making up for it with an entire season of player combination and game strategy development.

[@Samizouza]

@@Waywind420 That and snubbing experienced veterans like Cooper and other overseas players for youth. I always thought the Brumbies was literally the base of Wallabies selection and the Reds too as the two better AU teams.

[@GeorgeBogiwale]

Nawaqanitawase don't complain...KASEIIIIII

[@mothae236]

Why Was The Fijian Coach Not Happy🤔

[@Samizouza]

It's just his demeanor to stay focused and I don't blame him for not showing any emotions

[@RLSouza83]

The stadium was empty😅😅😅😅😅

[@Samizouza]

At this point I'd rather be listening to Sean Maloney than that female commentator despite her rugby knowledge.

Shame on vunavalu playing for Australia

How would you have a highlights without showing who played?
