    That was a cracking game. Fiji can feel a bit hard done by.

    Impressive stadium, 42,000 capacity, built by the council. Too good for Ligue 2 where Bordeaux currently are.

    Great game for the neutral supporter, Fiji just lacked that bit of big match experience imo.

    Fiji were the better side for large spells there, but the sheep shaggers, sadly, were far more clinical

    I agree Fiji were the better side and should have won. A surprisingly poor display from the referee, who I understand is normally competent, allowed Wales to take the points. Some credit must go to the Welsh players to standing up to massive Fijians in full flight and putting an enormous shift in. But it is disappointing that such a tight group may be decided by refereeing inconsistencies.

    Knowing what sticklers for protocol some Palace officials are I can believe that was the reason. He wasn’t at the finals of the World Cup for netball or the Women’s Rugby World Cup either both of which had English teams in. Maybe he didn’t know it was on like some on here claims about the Rugby World Cup?

    Fiji win. First time they've beaten Aus in 70-odd years!

    Very true, most games have been one-sided. Both Fiji matches have been very good.

    I think Italy should be removed from the 6 Nations.

    Why because they are losing to Uruguay who competed with France?
    Bear in mind when they played the ABs in Milan it was completely sold out.
    The game needs to expand not disclude teams.
