Maybe a last minute injury issue to John Stewart caused the change

 

[TOCC]

NRC crowd record expected this weekend, 10,000 expected at the game

I believe so yes, not sure on wage levels, it's funded via World Rugby

 

[Braveheart81]

This game is at 1pm AEST. Apologies for the incorrect start time in the title. It's on Foxsports 1.

Actually 50/50 between world rugby and Fijian government

55mins in Drua 24-7 Eagles, Drua usually get better after the 60 minute mark.

 

[Warpath]

55' Lomani's replacement, Seru Cavuilati has been given a yellow card by the referee for a high tackle. Fiji down to 14 men

 

[Warpath]

76mins gone 31-14 to Drua, 5 tries to 2

 

[Warpath]

31-14 Drua beat last year's finalists, now they play the 2016 winner next week lol

 

[RugbyReg]

Warpath assume you watched this match?

Who would you give 3-2-1 pnts to?

Who would you have as part of a team of the week (who were the standouts?)

 

[Warpath]

3. Waqatabu
2. Lomani
1. Daveta

i'm glad they brought in Waqatabu, he may be older (33) but he is a complete package, can cover both wings, centre, fullback and kick goals, he made daveta and lomani look good, DEFINITELY Waqatabu in team of the week but Lomani and Number 8, Raidre deserve a mention.
