Great match

2 YC, 1 each side

Berry firm but fair

Fiji got Scotland on the ropes

Already butchered one try and two kicks

Could be well ahead

Scotland 7-12 Fiji
31 mins gone

@MiketheSnow oops. If I was all powerful I'd merge us Mike. It'll just have to be a competition.

Edit: deleted mine.

The commentator just announced Jason Ryan from the crusaders is the Fiji forwards coach.

Way to go on proving your expertise, prime

On the plus side the Commentary A Team (Andrew Cotter & co.) are probably in Cardiff.

Hastings over just before halftime

Scotland 14-12 Fiji
Halftime

Fiji should be two scores ahead

Victor Meldrew

Fiji should be ahead by at least 7.

Hastings scores under the bar. 12-12 with conversion to come

Bones

@Victor-Meldrew that'd be great. Is Cotter with both BBC and prime?

The Fijians have butchered two tries when Hogg was in the bin. They are really fun to watch but their lineout work is a mess. Otherwise, they would be well ahead at half time.

Bones

Hastings 🤣 life is all about choices.

Bones

Fucken drilled so hard yes gone off, a beautiful legal tackle.

He's freelance. Hope he's doing the Wales game - best commentator around IMHO

Thought Berry was good -

The Fijians lost their discipline completely during the second half which was mastered by the Scots. The latter were far from convincing though.

Based on how Scotland looked, we should have a similar scoreline against them next week as today against Wales.

That’s a dangerous game to play….

The Scotland that played the Aussies last week were a lot better. The same Aussie that lost to France by a point and we beat in the 82nd minute!

ARHS

Thought this was horrible. Daft captaincy and lack of accuracy from Fiji gifted this to Scotland. Fiji were own worst enemies.

Yeah, but last night suggests it was the unbeaten record against Scotland that Foster has his eye on, not the 50 year old Welsh record. Our Foster aims high don't forget.
