<p>For hitting?  I just tuned into the georgian commentary, can't quite make out what they're saying</p>

<p>I think so. Didn't hear what the ref said and the commentary, well, I don't quite master Georgian yet ...</p>

<p>Try Tonga!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>That could be decisive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stay tuned for more Mexted quality aphorisms.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Tonga leads 20 to 16 with 7 minutes to go.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Not many spectators in the stands, by the way. Hope more people turn up for Fiji v Samoa.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>The players look knackered, esp the Georgians. I assume it's hot and humid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Georgia close to scoring a try but held up.</p>

[nzzp]

<p>Heating up into the overtime - Georgia pressing on the line for a game winning try</p>

[nzzp]

<p>...and calling for a scrum after the hooter looking for scrum dominance</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Tongan player stretchered off the field with what looks like a neck injury. Didn't look good at all. </p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Tongan players sent to the bin for repeated offending at the goal line. It's still not over.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Try Georgia in extra time.</p>

[nzzp]

<p>Georgia wins!  Great finish, never gave up, dominated scrums and attacked under advantage.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is yet another great day for fat hairy blokes dominating up front.  Love it!</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>And it's full time (finally). Georgia wins 23 to 20.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>We may need this link to watch next weekend's game between Georgia and Fiji. Sky only seems to broadcast the PNC games, not the Georgian games.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Okay, that was my second game of the day. 15 minute break and then it's time for Fiji v Samoa.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Same here - a fine display from the Under 8s this morning, good committed tackling, cleanout and running.  It almost looked like proper rugby for a while!</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Reasonably entertaining game thus far. Samoa looking much fitter than Fiji though; is it just me, or are a lot of the Fijian players look slow?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>16-13 to Samoa a few minutes into the second half.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Fiji beats Samoa 26-16 and wins the Pacific Nations Cup (only three games this year). This is an important victory towards qualification for the 2019 RWC.</p>
