Anywhere to watch this game? Can’t see it on sky or tvnz

[African Monkey]

Yeah wtf, are they not showing it?

[Duluth]

Well this will be a short match thread

[Duluth]

Apparently it's on Stan in Aussie

TJ is the commentator. So Sky NZ commentators but Sky didn't bother buying the rights

[Piranha]

Scotland over early, converted try

[brodean]

Fiji with a lot of possession but ball security in the tackle has let them down.

Scotland already look spent as they struggle with the conditions.

[Bones]

Yeah this is fun, but the amount of spilled/shit passes or awful options by Fiji just as they're about to score or firm up an opportunity is frustrating and amateur.

[Bones]

Annnnd Salesi throws a cute, no look, one hander just to illustrate.

[Piranha]

Scotland struggling with the conditions and slowing it down at every chance, Fiji are keeping them in front going for miracle passes over and over.

[Piranha]

2nd yellow card for Scotland

And Try Fiji, hard to see anything but a Fiji win from here, Scotland struggling with conditions 2 yellow cards in the first half on top of it isn't going to help.

[Piranha]

Another try for Fiji on HT, 15-7

[brodean]

Fiji showing more composure for the second try calmly going for the overlap with simple draw and pass while the Scotland player is in the bin.

[Bones]

Why is Ravi Shastri in the comms box.

[Bones]

I was gonna say why isn't that a penalty try.

[Kruse]

No final score?
29 - 14

[sparky]

Great win for Fiji.

[ACT Crusader]

Not sure if Scotland have ever played on a surface like that!

The back 3 of Fiji played well but was impressed with some of the forward tactics. Kept it tight despite the temptation to swing it. Too many errors at times but a very good win that I see has shaken the rankings up.
