Good to see Lukhan Tui back.

Hopefully he has a strong game and rejoins the Wallabies squad.

I would imagine that Douglas won't be remaining in the squad.

Overall a good team and rewarding the QPR form of Alatimu and Fidow, I'm not sold on the backrow, I think it's a little light weight and may struggle under the new ruck interpretations.

Surprised Frisby's not involved, injury.. or?

It's going to sound cliche, but everyone sits on the side with the cameras because it's in the shade

What is the crowd size - looks less than 1000. Anyhow Fijians playing an entertaining game and competitive in the scrummaging which always was a concern.

Quade what was that?!

Enjoyably game so far.

Hoiles confirms (or at least seems to confirm) that Sammy Talakai is the unknown Reds Prop that I'd been told the Rebels had recruited.

12-12 after 21 minutes.

Is it bad that I'm excited that Fijis inclusion in the NRC might lead to a few (more) handy Fijian backs floating around the Aus Super franchises?

Didn't Maloney say that most of them got caps in an A Game with Tonga to lock em all in?

Allegations of biting in the scrum a sour mark on Fijis first game.

Not worthy of a yellow card IMO.

Reeks of the ref going "fuck I should've taken the bite more seriously and now I've got to make up for it".
