Yes, it's an away game. Oh wait ...

Yes, it’s a home game which will net more than $128.47

Fiji's second try is amazing!

Go Fiji!

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.

Wainiqolo is electric. Will take on defenders. He set the attack by not kicking!

Scotland finally score after receiving a dodgy penalty.

The previous carry was surely held up over the line?

Good build up the Scots nonetheless.

Try time.

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.

Lomani‘s pass is harbour bridge esque

Terrible clearance kick.

Solid win for the second stringers from the third best team in the world.

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

And teams need to travel to Fiji.

After you

If we draw them in a new tournament I would expect us to. Anything else would be elitism.

@Kirwan

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.
