      Haha Renata loves a soft knock on. He seriously does it every game he plays.

          All of a sudden the Maori look better , next try is a crucial one , if it’s the Maori , a comeback may be a possibility, if it’s Fiji , you would think it’s all over

            Like all the replacements, adding much needed energy

              If the game has made one thing clear thus far, it's that TTT and Akira indeed didn't deserve a spot in the ABs. Akira looked fat and lazy; TTT not half as good in the first half as Hall in his first 15 minutes.

                Otere Black offers nothing in my opinion..I would rather have Fletcher Smith who is more likely to challenge the line with his pace..!

                  MAB scrum close to the Fiji try line. Try Wainui in the corner!

                    Fletcher Smith now taking the kick, and only just misses.

                    22 - 10 Fiji

                        Several forward passes from the Fijians missed again.

                          The same one playing terribly at fullback?

                          The MAB are almost to a man being outplayed and certainly not helped by obviously forward passes ignored.

                            Another great try to Fiji. But it has to be said, if those forward passes had been spotted, they hadn't been playing so close to the NZ try line.

                              Can this Fiji team beat Australia?

                                  @antipodean that’s because he’s not a fullback..

                                    @Stargazer TTT has looked poor, question is though has playing 10min a game all year then expecting to play int. Rugby in Fiji a factor?

                                        This is a good Fiji side. With most of their team cemented in nth hemisphere they could rattle cages at WC. I would suspect not many int. Teams Would come away with a W playing in Suva. Gone are the days of them being beaten by 70-100.

                                          That much is evident but given extra time and space and playing like that is not inspiring confidence he'd be any better using his pace at five-eighth.
