    @stargazer that was only a semi. You wouldn't want to run into a whole.

    The Fijian tighthead looks like he might be distant relation of Big Billy.

    I'd say the loosehead has probably solved a few problems for them too....

    Hmm, is he clear and obvious offside? Not sure that's the right decision! Would have been an awesome try from Goneva.

    The French score off a line-out maul, in referee's time.

    Half time: France 14 - 12 Fiji

    Fijian try disallowed because of a late tackle; French trying to get him carded for a shoulder tackle; fortunately, the ref doesn't fall for it.

    14 - 15 Fiji

    Fiji rugby is always lacking in money and they are probably on a dollar a point sponsorship so they are not likely to pass up the chance of adding few more dollars into their account. My yaca up there in Narewa will be absolutely overjoyed!

    @steven-harris Yes it really did. Fiji were 20 points the better team I thought. Makes their pool with Australia and Wales at the WC a bit more interesting now.

    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.

    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.
