    Didn't the French almost lose to the Fijians in a RWC ('99?) but for some Paddy O'Brien shenanigans?

    Hand off for the first Fiji try, or as the French call them Fidji, was a joy to behold.

    'What Fiji did after their epic win will bring a tear to the eye of any rugby fan
    When dem feels hit.
    Hard not to well up when watching this post-match Fijian chant. Forget the corporate Haka, this is a tradition that still has real meaning'. (from Rugby onslaught site)

    @booboo Yes that amused me too. also "forget the corporate Haka". That site seems to like having little digs at NZ rugby. They basically called Paripari Parkinson's tackle back slam tackle for the Maori evil while had a video 'proving Farrells tackles as legal!

    @daffy-jaffy it's not 'little digs' - it's a complete troll website.
