    I don't know how long the Fijians are going to last in this game - don't know what their fitness is like after not training normally for the past two weeks due to Covid - but they've made a good start with an early try to Nadolo.

    @Stargazer loving the weather.

    Kind of coolish here ... 26deg C at 10:30 at night ...

    Google tells me it's 6deg and (obviously) raining at Murrayfield.

    Fiji currently struggling to hold the ball as Georgia come back to 19-10

      Commentators only have to say mumblemumbleAdze or somethingsomethineAshvili and I'll believe them.

        Can I please drop in a whinge about the ref not calling the maul stopped when the Lelos were going backward before going forward. Didn't really affect play as mauls either broke away or went to ground but it irritated me.

          I have no idea what that ref was talking about. Clear separation of the arm to the body or not. What was he looking for? Striking with the arm v bracing for impact v fending off the opponent?

            So that's a hattrick for Nadolo? I lost count. Fiji destroying Georgia.

              Game is way better that some of the others with the bigger countries. Enjoying it

              This tournament has been good for Georgia. Gave them some real experience at top level and they have some good players. One plus from Covid I guess.

                @Victor-Meldrew Yeah, that was entertaining. I don't think Georgia is quite ready to replace Italy in the 6 Nations, but if they get to play more games like this, they'll challenge them more and more.

                  Pretty good game by former Crusaders Nadolo and Ben V.

                  Georgia are pretty well coached and you can see that their actual patterns are good. Just lacking some class.

                    Looking at all those empty stadiums in Europe, you just have to be really happy to live in NZ!

                      Weird how they play a tape of a stadium announcer asking the crowd to stand up for the anthems. The crowd that isn't there.

                        Perhaps World Rugby could have a "Best Crowd Effects in an Empty Stadium" award...

                          Fiji-Georgia was a cracker. Finished 38-24 to Fiji.

                                Wales only just ahead of a spirited Italy at half time. 14-13

                                  Italy score again. 18-17. Wales defence looking all over the place out wide.

                                      Wales have never before lost at home to Italy. Is history about to be made?

                                        Italy 10 Garbisi continues to impress. Looks seriously composed under pressure.
