FT: NZ 24 - 26 Spain
Too many missed tackles, shit officiating. Not sure whether Spain deserved the win, because several of their tries came after bad decisions from the ref. However, a well-playing AB7s team would have won anyway.
Spain is one of the strongest of the upcoming nations; good for the game to have a new country joining the top and giving strong competition to the usual favourites.

Is Spain this year's Kenya?

@booboo I wouldn’t be banking on this Fiji side.
We have looked pretty good so far this tournament even with the loss to Spain. I thought we would’ve won had we not got that card.

For context, NZ up by 3 points or something, 20 seconds to go and in position just under 40m out from the Fijian line. Koroi runs across, gets scragged so decides to throw a weird one hander, drifts forward into Fijian hands.
Annnnd England blow a 19 point lead to lose to USA. Someone check the in game betting.

Just saying.
I just had visions of NZ holding a slim lead, making a fuck up and Fiji running in the winning try from 90m after the siren.
Should have put money on it.

Seems like so much deja vu on this series. Had a second look at ref's call in last minute England v USA when I thought England may have earned turnover penalty.
NZ got away with several casual/imprecise efforts from Ravouvou v Fiji, before Koroi's error. Otherwise we looked veyr good I thought. Just unlucky that the last second error counted that badly.
