If only New Zealand hadn't poached all their players over the last 20 years

20 years? Fiji have been nicking NZ players for 110 years - ever since 1913 when they poached Otago captain Paddy Sheehan from Dunedin....

Ooh - must make a note of that... the Otago Sheehans were always a dodgy lot.

Radio Silence
See you on the other side

[Billy Tell]

That was a brain dead penalty.

[frugby]

This game is superb. Matthew Carley is a shit ref which makes it a lottery, which is a neutral is so funny.

[Derm McCrum]

Brilliant last ditch tackle on the Zammit fella.

[Victor Meldrew]

Zammit effectively got sat on there.

[Bones]

See, Fiji didn't touch that

[Derm McCrum]

Biggar is de man. Great conversion.

[Bones]

And as a result, Wales score. Dickson has had a massive impact

[mantissanet]

Nice. A bit fortuitous but nice. You make your own luck sometimes

[Derm McCrum]

A bare-assed strong-arm tackle from Adams

[Jailbreak7]

Bone cruncher tackle by Adams

[gt12]

Wales doing a good job of making sure the game is played deep in Fiji half.

[Bones]

Dickson shouldn't get another major appointment at the WC with his "2nd tier" bias.

[sparky]

Great response by Wales since half time.

Agreed. Getting on top now. Biggar leading the troops - at his own cost looks like with injury.

[mantissanet]

Much better rugga from Wales so far this half

[frugby]

Game of the tournament so far this one.

[Mattasaurus]

Surely YC... cynically offside under the sticks.....

[Bones]

How is that not a yellow card?
