International Rugby

That's a whole region! Seems harsh. Mind you, the whole of the Bouches-du-Rhône can get stuffed, to be honest, and take the Gard with it.

It does seem harsh but er, how to put it, most of the architecture can be best described as 'ndrangheta brutalism'.

Cosenza's nice though.

As for the rugby, Scots did well to keep it tight but they had a couple of chances first half to break into space and erred; when the Boks got their chances there was no question they'd take them.

SA have been given a lot of leniency in the breakdown which has slowed the ball for Scotland and meant the defensive line was right up on the scots.

2nd half SA sold the ref a myth in the scrum and got loads of cheap penalties on demand from it. Add in the blatant red card they dodged and I think Scotland can feel hard done by there.

No bonus points for either team is good for Ireland, although I'd hope it doesn't come down to that.

Where we at these days with Rugby rankings? Should Wales be losing this?

Fiji are 7th and Wales are 10th. Wales have been poor for a while now, stuff off the pitch has been bad too. All in all, it won't be that surprising if Fiji win this comfortably.

The problem for Fiji is they’ve lost their fly half just before the tournament. He has been a massive find and completely changed them. He’s a massive loss.

Was watching on VM1 but had to switch over to UTV. Fiona Hayes might know her rugby, but her Limerick accent was making my ears bleed.

I can't get UTV so I've had to mute it. I could cope with her accent if she didn't feel the need to talk so much!

Yeah, she talks a lot as well to compound it. A really dreadful voice to have on co-comms.

Biggar absolutely tearing into one of the Welsh players there at the whistle.

Biggar is such a gobshite.

Fiji should have had a penalty try there.

[AV84]

Very unfair yellow there for Fiji. Ref was overly kind to Wales a few minutes ago when he gave them a warning instead of a card.

[PaulWinch again]

Ref astonishingly lenient on Wales and pretty harsh on Fiji.

[Jon Crofts]

Wales don’t deserve this, certainly not this margin.

[AV84]

That's twice Wales should have had a yellow and the ref just warned them. Very very lucky.
