Well done TMO

Well hat was idiotic. No need for that and clearly a bit of afters on a player already on the ground

What a shame. This was looking like a good contest.

Ref clearly wanted to back out of the red so good work TMO, correct call even if it might make it less of a contest. Seen far too many refs back away from giving reds for these collisions in the last few weeks.

Fijian discipline seems to be going out of the window

I think it’s the fall out from last years six nations, no ref wants to be seen to ruin the game. But if world rugby is serious about protecting players then head shots need to be ruled out of the game.

FFS. What the hell was that?

Fiji down two players now. Come on, let’s not screw this up

Try Hardy.

Try Zammit.
And we have a two mana advantage for another 7 or so minutes

Disallowed. Shame

So we lead by one point at half time.

A bad opening 20 for us where we couldn’t get any momentum and Fiji started to rattle up the points. The red card seems to have been a genuine turning point with Fijian discipline suddenly vanishing.

We still have 40 to go and anything is possible but I’d hope that we can score quickly after the break against 13 players and open up a bit of a gap.

At least we’re ahead at half time. I guess with so many changes in the side it would take a bit of time to settle down. Some of the Fijian hits are manic - sore bodies tonight.

I thought Cuthbert stuttered early on but seems to be getting things together better. Young not up to speed yet but still time to shine at the breakdown as they hopefully tire.

Hardy is so slow getting the ball out of the scrum and breakdown.

It’s painful. That’s three times (I think) that he’s been caught with the ball out of the ruck.

Are we trying to help the Fijians out? A two man advantage for seven minutes after the break, a period we lose 3-0. Now we’re trying to throw the ball about without structure

Thankfully Tomos Williams is now on

FFS. We really don’t deserve to win this

We won't. New coach needed

This is reminding me of Nantes in 2007

Another yellow card for Fiji.

Fair play to Nic Berry he isn’t afraid to give a yellow to a team already a man down.

Jesus. Turned off after the card. What happened?

Ah. Got one back now.

Second try for Ellias.

We’re struggling. Too many turnovers and some very dogged (and occasionally brilliant) play by Fiji.

Hopefully we can put this to bed with a two man advantage for the next few minutes.

But we are lacking some composure.
