The Wallabies need Portugal to beat Fiji to have any chance of making the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals. Follow all the action in our live blog.

Good morning one and all and welcome to the ABC coverage of the final pool game at this year's Rugby World Cup. I'm Simon Smale and I'm looking forward to being with you this morning for what could be a pivotal moment for Australia at this year's tournament - even though the Wallabies are not playing.

If Portugal pull off a massive upset then the Wallabies will be the beneficiaries, falling into a quarterfinal date with England next Monday morning at 2am AEDT in Marseille. What? I hear you cry? I thought the Wallabies were done? Well, not quite. But it will take something of a miracle akin to the famous Milagre do Sol of 1917 in order for it to happen. Thanks for getting up so early to join me regardless.
