Thanks. Their openside sure has an unfortunate name.
Lacking iodine?

Great first half
Plenty of running and tough nosed defence from both sides
Muntz is a real find for Fiji at fly half
Another great refereeing performance from the Georgian
Based on his ‘take no shit’ approach last week in dishing out the cards, this match has been a joy to watch
No bullshit, no skullduggery
More of the same please

Trying too hard

@MiketheSnow missing alot of 1st up tackles too, but covering well
-
hope refs are consistent with that call for taking players beyond the ruck
-
Great defence from France
That’s the match
-
@MiketheSnow ounce of luck and a bit more accuracy, Fiji could have taken this.

Definitely

That’s it
Fra 34-17 Fiji
Score doesn’t reflect how hard fought and competitive it was
-
A good game. There was a lot of regard shown by both teams towards each other in the post match interactions. Interesting to see the stats, Fiji had more possession and territory than their opposition and had more carries but France had more line breaks.
-
Impressed with Fiji. A side on the way up and will only continue to get stronger.
-
The Georgian ref is quickly becoming the best ref in the world

Wait till the poor bugger gets hung out to dry following a contentious decision and that’ll be it for him.
Fuck, but watching Borthwick’s England is making me even more cynical.

He has been, he carded Farrell
And came back better
It looks like the players know exactly what he expects and what is going on
