i like how cooper saw that giteau got hit off the ball and went to defend his teammate. sometimes (in my opinion, which of course could be totally wrong) cooper doesn't often show that he is a team player. its nice to show that he'll stick up for one of his teammates
You don't play dirty and physical at the same time with the PI boys( Tonga, Fiji and Samoa) cos you'll end up on the wrong side of lala land hi,hi,hi!!
We're the Fijians in a bad mood that day? I usually associate them with being religious, modest and generally a happy bunch, they were superb in the Olympics and deserved Gold Medal winners.
@springbok93 yeah true :) though is the NFL rougher because of the Psychology Pads bring or it was rough before protection was brought in? because i think Rugby is still the roughest game
@420partyatmine He's got a point mate, think about it, if it was a cold night, the fijians are used to hot weather whether its day or night. They'd be hurting from cold.
I am a pacific Islan mangi through and through, but to see Fiji play dirty isn't cool. I have much respect for their Rugby play, but this was just dirty.
Matt Giteau was a hard nut to crack in this game, hence the targeting. A disgrace there was no team back up (apart from JO'C) by the Wallaby Cream Puffs.
@nalevuhi I've played both. Rugby is "rougher" with the constant grind but football is more dangerous, hell, you're encouraged to put your helmet on the ball, neck injuries galore.
@macvatu They are in union, it's not and shouldn't be a sending off offense though, dangerous tackle should be given as a sin bin, I thought the Fijian fullback got off lucky there. I can only assume there was a red card for the punches at the end
To all of you who commented on these tackle been made.....weather its was dirty or illegal.......Just want to remind everybody.... this is rugby"....when the adrenaline is rushing fuelled with frustration these sorts of things happened.Its all rough and aggressive approach.That why they said....Its game of hooligans played by gentlemen.. If you a rugby player you know this...once you in that pitch..you expect the worst. if its giving you bad impression!!! go watch football....
melanesian polynesian micronesian is a white man term to divide us dont use them words, we should rather use the word pacific islanders then these words i mean come on do you think our ancestors used those words back in the day of course not they didnt so why do we.
@ WEBBfromPANTERA..Before you made any comment or criticism on any Fijian player......have a quick look on Matt Giteau's tackle on the South African Player on this very same page. No intension to contest for theball.....so what goes around,comes around...I rest my case.
Mate I think you need to read my post again, Fiji is part of the south Pacific Islands aren't they? PI as in Pacific Islands but I see your point. Fiji are not as hot headed as Tonga or Samoa when it comes to mixing it up. Point taken.
Wow. The fijian team would go a lot further if they just left this dirty shit out of the game. Respect to Giteau, its gonna take a lot more than that to silence the veteran.
They can tackle people with no arms, late and high all they want. They just pay for it with yellow/red cards and penalty after penalty. This is why they lose games.
But it's bad for the sport, is it worth risking peoples careers with unsafe play? They can tackle hard enough legally, no need for the shoulder charges and clothes lines.
I completely agree with you. Sorry was trying to make that comment sort of sarcastic and it backfired haha. It's ridiculous how they think dangerous tackles will benefit anybody. They lose games, people get injured badly. What's there to gain?
Samuel Scarisbrick no in out culture we like to play rough and show our true strength. we like to hurt our enemies. the only way you can stop getting hurt is if you boys toughen up
Rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen. ..........!! Thats what you get when you played rugby.We all know what you going to get for playing against Fiji,Samoa and Tonga. Nothing new, Its just pure physicallity of their game.. I dont understand why people are making a big fuss about this, you gave them one cheap shot,you got a real bucket loads in return. Thats what Quade Cooper got. They are not dirty payers,its their physical prowess of the game that many viewed it as dirty. love it.
@poverty624 you got a point there!!! But im a true blooded melanesian I hate being called fuckin Polynesian, its not hard 2 tell... But I agree witj that coconut theory lol
Man I was there and it was freezng, no place for a fijian. Next time the Wallabies should play us in Brisbane or somewhere warm because by the end all the fijian players were cramping up that is why the score blew out towards the end and the Australians pland it that way,
Now probably the boks knows now why they play Fiji and Samoa for pool games in RWC . They are known to play dirty the boks, its different play hard rugby against fare clean tuff rugby , the likes of New Zealand Australia England etc but its a different story playing against the pacific islanders. Probably the Boks might need to wear more pads and head gears comes RWC !
We all love a good tackle, but sorry: failure to use arms is cowardly and dangerous. Going with the intention of injuring is about as shitty as it gets.
@masteraway1 Nah but you see my country holding the World Cup. . coz we are worthy champions. aussie shudnt hav dreamt about something that was never going to be theirs
@taweraster Please go watch Touch Rugby! If you play rugby, expect to get tackled, and for that, expect to be hurt! and from PI, White man took away clubs and spears and gave us the rugby Ball! So as i said in another post, go play with your finger!
@springbok93 i don't understand? are you angry or being sarcastic? [i hate that you can't project tone in typing :)] and if you r angry, why? i was just asking about the rules dude or dudet
Yea 1 thing, Fijians arent Polynesian lol... Stop Claiming!!!! Fiji, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu etc. is Melanesian... Get that shit straight... Melanesian Pride!!!!!
@92Knife...We got to clean up the game, it should be enjoyable and sporting, and no place for dangerous play. What does Sin Bin mean to serve?..sending off dangerous players serves as a deterrent and leaves the offending side at a disadvantage, and that's what they deserve. Rugby is dangerous enough as it is, and with today's players increasingly resorting to bodybuilding to bulk up the upper body, the danger has increased twofold or even worse. Lets keep the game simple and friendly.
Quade cooper throwing the first punch then getting a hiding at the end 😂
Who won the game? That's the real test
@@countycricklewood he aint talking about the game...he's talking about Quade Cooper getting an ass whooping 😂😂😂
Matts a bloody trooper getting knocked down and brushing it off. And props to Cooper for supporting his team mate at around 1:52 ish
Good on Quade for standing up for Giteau on that last one... But I sure as hell wouldn't be picking a fight with that Fijian o.O
As a Fijian, hats off to Matt Giteau. He is a world class player. He is up there with the bests.
they're fijian. this is all they do. gotta love them
i like how cooper saw that giteau got hit off the ball and went to defend his teammate. sometimes (in my opinion, which of course could be totally wrong) cooper doesn't often show that he is a team player. its nice to show that he'll stick up for one of his teammates
You don't play dirty and physical at the same time with the PI boys( Tonga, Fiji and Samoa) cos you'll end up on the wrong side of lala land hi,hi,hi!!
That's why they stop the mighty Pacific team Tonga Fiji Samoa in one team. Coz they know there'll be no contest against them..
@@isaacjames4 true that team beat some really good rugby teams
hahahaha quade cooper getting punched up at the end lololol
+Nopera Ngakuru wanna mind someone else's business
lmfao he was like srry did not mean too d that
Haha!! How funny was Cooper at the end! Immediately regretting the decision to get involved. Got his arse handed to him!
Matt Qito ... the man made for the game. High tackles ... no worries mate.
Vinaka na qito Matt!!!
Eyes out when playing with Fijians 🇫🇯. Cheap shot kings 😂😂😂🤙
We're the Fijians in a bad mood that day? I usually associate them with being religious, modest and generally a happy bunch, they were superb in the Olympics and deserved Gold Medal winners.
They were tired of all the trash talk from the welsh fans in 2011 so they took it out on the australians
That shot from the 15 would have been a red card and sighting today.
Thank you rugby expert. Without you, we wouldn’t know. You’ve saved the day again, genius.
Iv always wondered if pages like this are monetized
We're still coconuts no matter what kind of nesian we are, don't ever forget that, coconut! Lol!
@springbok93 hey i hav a question how is a shoulder charge any more dangerous than a normal tackle ive never understood that rule?
@springbok93 i see what your saying, so its more because shoulder chargers are harder rather than more dangerous
Way to go our Pacific brothers
That's a terrible night to remember for Matt Giteau!
@springbok93 yeah true :) though is the NFL rougher because of the Psychology Pads bring or it was rough before protection was brought in? because i think Rugby is still the roughest game
like the last bit..boxing & a rugby match cool!!! =]
In rugby we dont throw punches to our Pacific Brothers..Did you know that they are always waiting for us to start then they grind us down?
@springbok93 yea in my head im comparing it to a spear tackle which could be very dangerous
@leelockington are you kidding?! this is the best type of rugby to watch
@420partyatmine He's got a point mate, think about it, if it was a cold night, the fijians are used to hot weather whether its day or night. They'd be hurting from cold.
I am a pacific Islan mangi through and through, but to see Fiji play dirty isn't cool. I have much respect for their Rugby play, but this was just dirty.
Jeez that first one? 😱 Such skillful rugby players, shame their indiscipline let's them down. Otherwise real contenders
been the same for the past decades ... there 7s outfit is world class, 15s, meh!
First one was fine. arms were out for the wrap, Matt just bounced off too quick. the next 2 were definitely illegal
Back when rugby was watchable
Wise words, Heskey?
good shout, play to win, not to start fights!
I like Fiji Rugby but that was just cheap..
David Hernandez yeah man this was terrible from Fiji...
at least cooper went to the aid of fallen wallaby,though he could do with a few boxin lessons
poor old gits, even coops stood up for him on the last one.
ahahahahaha cooper didnt knw wat he was in for when he swung his arm towards the end there !!! hahahahaha
Brutal
There would be so many reds now on this game
Cooper 😂😂😂I just can't.....they not Richie ... they'll beat you if you do shit...
@springbok93 i dont really understand
Big hits, late hits,.....but we still lost. Karaik,..
give credit to the aussie boys ,,,our boys hope they learn from that match come 2011!
Matt Giteau was a hard nut to crack in this game, hence the targeting. A disgrace there was no team back up (apart from JO'C) by the Wallaby Cream Puffs.
@nalevuhi I've played both. Rugby is "rougher" with the constant grind but football is more dangerous, hell, you're encouraged to put your helmet on the ball, neck injuries galore.
No, at 1:53 Quade sticks up for matt when he gets hit over without the ball
Cooper if u hav to punch a fijian player ..make sure u knock him out..Looks like you were not successful lol 😂
0:35 thought the commentator said ''fucking no problem with the arms'' haha
@macvatu They are in union, it's not and shouldn't be a sending off offense though, dangerous tackle should be given as a sin bin, I thought the Fijian fullback got off lucky there. I can only assume there was a red card for the punches at the end
Is that why on the cheap shot, cooper came to help Giteau out? Didn't think so.
To all of you who commented on these tackle been made.....weather its was dirty or illegal.......Just want to remind everybody.... this is rugby"....when the adrenaline is rushing fuelled with frustration these sorts of things happened.Its all rough and aggressive approach.That why they said....Its game of hooligans played by gentlemen..

@sydneymassive You never could.
melanesian polynesian micronesian is a white man term to divide us dont use them words, we should rather use the word pacific islanders then these words i mean come on do you think our ancestors used those words back in the day of course not they didnt so why do we.
@DVN fucking no nut
This only goes for polynesians
the first one maybe, but the second was never a hospital pass, giteau had plenty of time to do something with the ball
Gotta wonder whether the pay check is worth it sometimes...
@philchangster Had a good smack from fijian lately have you?
Cooper gave a chip short but got 2 in face right the very end of the clip.....ouch!!
@ WEBBfromPANTERA..Before you made any comment or criticism on any Fijian player......have a quick look on Matt Giteau's tackle on the South African Player on this very same page. No intension to contest for theball.....so what goes around,comes around...I rest my case.

Don't forget we are the kokonatii nesian

Josh Bolam Entertainment
Nobody can argue with that.
brooo if you think thats bad enough come to fiji and we'll show you real rugby..thats the way we play and we cant do much about it
Now thats what we call 'Fiji Rugby Culture'!!!
So in your culture you like to tackle dangerously, late and high? Probably why you lose a lot of games eh?
pretty much and if you've got a problem with it say it to my face lol
Samuel Scarisbrick no in out culture we like to play rough and show our true strength. we like to hurt our enemies. the only way you can stop getting hurt is if you boys toughen up

@hanros98 yeah we all mental all pacific islander no matter wat we are,,,
define 'hospital pass' and then tell which of them actually are
@masteraway1 So why did we score the most tries at Rugby World Cup 2011?
why is there a rule about no shoulder charging? anyone? it seems perfectly fine to me
@poverty624 you got a point there!!! But im a true blooded melanesian I hate being called fuckin Polynesian, its not hard 2 tell... But I agree witj that coconut theory lol

The last one is dirty as fuck. GG Fiji.
I was there it was fucking freezing
no not every fijian thinks that off matt Giteau mate i think its just only you coz im fijian as well ,sorry mate.
Where you drunk when you edited this ?
LOL
that australian gets pumped when he tries to touch the fijian after he hit giteau, hahahahahhaa
these are yellow / red cards in modern rules. And it's about time. Because this is not rugby these are dangerous agressions
this game was the shit straight up hahahah
blua
What a player
Now probably the boks knows now why they play Fiji and Samoa for pool games in RWC . They are known to play dirty the boks, its different play hard rugby against fare clean tuff rugby , the likes of New Zealand Australia England etc but its a different story playing against the pacific islanders. Probably the Boks might need to wear more pads and head gears comes RWC !
Body charges or bodychecks should be outlawed in Rugby and be a seding off offence.
see the fight afterwards? That's not right
come on the lions
good to see cooper sticking up for his team mate
It really infuriates me, Pacific teams can play rugby but until they stop the bullshit dangerous tackles they'll keep losing games....
ignorance is bliss
Butch James gets away with these tackles
Butch James gets away with these tackles
I nearly felt sorry for this guy but then I remembered...It's just an Australian.
Hey, wrong code! no shoulder barging you goose.
Keep the game clean and you might get a more enjoyable game.
@TheGentl3man easy to be hard behind a computer screen
Come to Fiji
more like Quade cooper's rough night vs fiji. watch the last few seconds when cooper cops a few punches to the face lol
We all love a good tackle, but sorry: failure to use arms is cowardly and dangerous. Going with the intention of injuring is about as shitty as it gets.
@MrAsarama if they are a softies and scared of him, how come Giteau is always on the ground lol...
I hope we don’t do this at the World Cup common Fiji
1:53 lol

@masteraway1 Nah but you see my country holding the World Cup. . coz we are worthy champions. aussie shudnt hav dreamt about something that was never going to be theirs

Tackle properly. Anybody can just swing an arm at another player.
fiji is epic at coming on to the ball at speed and actually they were prbably trying to do a crash ball if you know what a crash ball is doofus
@springbok93 i don't understand? are you angry or being sarcastic? [i hate that you can't project tone in typing :)] and if you r angry, why? i was just asking about the rules dude or dudet

some hard tackles, matty G took that hit well though, would have crumpled a lesser man ie French..
