Yes, it's an away game. Oh wait ...
Yes, it’s a home game which will net more than $128.47
And Fiji in again! They've had about 3% posession and have 3 tries to show for it.
Scotland have had about a 19-0 penalty count and are attacking like a local social club team.

Fiji's second try is amazing!
Wainiqolo is electric. Will take on defenders. He set the attack by not kicking!
@ACT-Crusader said in NC: Fiji v Scotland:
The previous carry was surely held up over the line?
They've certainly had the rub of the green today.
Arghhh Fiji fluff a great attacking opportunity 5m out.
Now the Scots attack from their own end and go about 50m.

Perhaps, but it's not all about money. The Fijian Drua games in Fiji are a highlight in Super Rugby, the crowds are fantastic and don't their fans deserve to see their team play at home?
They are incredibly hard to beat at home, which is more interesting to watch as well as a product.

Don’t disagree but Fiji needs money to develop
Either play away or have WR pay

yep
and if they needed help with off-field stuff, i'd be disappointed if we didn't help them with that as well
That's what I thought we were doing with the Drua?
But World Rugby needs to grow a pair organize home games for these teams in the Championship. I would have thought this was part of the point of all of this.
