There’s far more Fijians in this game than Australians

Just like there were more South Africans than Scotsmen?

Not South Africans, just guys from lesser known Dutch sounding clans from the highlands.

Don’t forget Sione from the Tuipulotu clan too

You do have to hand it to Jack Dempsey though, most guys start playing for a big team then move to the minnows, not the other way round.

Not wanting to be an arrogant Kiwi supporter and loving watching Fiji play, but I'll take the Haka against the Fijian Cibi any day

[MiketheSnow]

Is there an anti-helium that they can give the female ITV commentators please?

My ears are bleeding and the dog won’t settle

[Victor Meldrew]

@MiketheSnow

Yeah, she's grating isn't she? Think Rikki Swannell is second only to Andrew Cotter but this woman's voice could shred carrots. Pity as what she says is pretty good.

She’s god awful.

Fiji need to stand deeper, so many times they are stopping to catch a pass.

[MiketheSnow]

Fiji scrum looks solid

[Jailbreak7]

Shane. Would have loved Fiji to have a crack

[MiketheSnow]

Penalty against Arnold

That’s worse than any of the calls against Wales

[KiwiMurph]

The standard of refs... jeez

[MajorPom]

Could a ref explain how that was ok from Oz on the ground?

[stodders]

@MajorRage according to ITV comms, he was playing the arm, not the ball. Think they need their eyes tested.

[cgrant]

Ref and tmo having a shocker.

Still on the ground so should be out of the game

[stodders]

@KiwiMurph agreed. I liked that they came up with a reason for saying it was ok

[game_film]

Always thought scrum halves were immune from discipline

Yeah I heard that and I call bullshit.

TMO cleared it tho, so the question is, why?

[Tim]

Bell does a lot of good stuff. Good contest this.
