tinymahuta Who is tier 1 to you and who is tier 2? I would say the current top 4 teams are a bit ahead of the rest in honesty and are in points on the rankings.
Ben volavola needs to seriously improve his overall game, especially his kicking and decision making in order to create space for players like semi radradra who are devastating runners.
Great match to watch, very glad to see Scotland get the win and some awesome play. Winning breeds confidence and if we can cut out those costly errors and keep the discipline we have a good chance against RSA, gonna have to step up big time.
Adam Hastings delighted with his try, and done his father proud! Good overall performance, lets hope Gregor's boys can bring home some six nations wins.
Would have been a much better contest if FJ had trained for a couple weeks and not days with most of their players playing in england and france just assembling together for a few days prior to this test. Result not surprising, however that upset win over france in Paris is a confidence boost for world cup preparations. Fair play to Scotland though for avenging that loss in Suva last year.
@@The1stClan I mean he and the ball are both moving forward as he loses control of it? Seems like a knock on to me, although of course like you say it's only one angle and it's probably just me
Well Done Scotland. Great display of running rugby. Fiji will be disappointed with that effort but they were never really in it. Need better rugby input. Cheers for the Channel.
When you look at how dominant Fiji is in 7s, you would think that surely at 15 aside, Fiji would be close but in reality they are 'like all our island teams' are a long way off. I'm Samoan Kiwi, & a proud All Black Supporter, been one since a little kid. Our island boys needs to take a leaf out of the Tongan Rugby League Team and want to play & die for their country and not worry about money, & only then the island teams will be strong. The only catch is, Money Talk. The island Teams need a big sponsor & until that Happens, we will only be playing catch up rugby. We will win one here & there but that's it. Here's hoping for a brighter future for all the struggling Teams especially the polynesian teams as they make up a good percentage of the World Superpower Tier 1 teams. Cheers
A flying fijians team will be thrashed by the fiji drua team made up of locals on any day. The truth about fiji rugby now is that the locals are now more fit, fast, aggressive, clinical, powerful and have more passion for the jersey and the game. They are coached to play the fijian brand of rugby and they do it with ease.
SPEED the Drua team trained together for 3 week's after the Skipper cup before their 1st game. Flying Fijians trained for 6 days before this game. Scotland already had a game last week. Also international Rugby is 10 times more faster and intense than 2nd tier NRC competition. The more time The Flying Fijians spend together the better they become!!!
Madoda Ludidi Its the NRC which is benefiting the local talents but they are seen as inferior to players playing overseas. Sick thinking by the administrators.
It didn’t really turn the game around. Fiji hardly touched the ball beforehand. The possession stats say it all, 84% possessions to the Scots before the Yellows. The two tries Fiji scored were from out mistakes. Scotland scored most of their tries in the second half with a full Fijian side. A few sore losers around.
I haven't seen the whole game but 2 yellow cards made Scotland win a lot easier" especially when one team got 13, against 15 players on the pitch. But that's what happens when one team shows indiscipline under pressure, and having their first hit out as a team. They will get smashed. But those Fijians caused a lot of problems for Scotland when they used flair, with to fantastic tries. Yes very good win for Scotland" but I wouldn't get too carried away, Fiji will improve' like every other team come World Cup 2019.
Archie Craigie Halkett .............Archie, I’m not really sure if we know what our best Centre chemistry is?..............I think we will start with Jones/Dunbar next week, then either Grigg or Harris will appear. I probably favour Grigg for this one
@3:52 leone Nakarawa picks up the ball from the ruck for their try and the ref says fine. Doesn't he have to have both feet behind the ball when picking up from a ruck?
RaoulDuke6666 I'm with you in that one. In order for the game to grow we need other teams to win. Argentina, France, Ireland, Scotland are all strong teams and can truly compete. But let's see. NZ far too strong atm though
And than they beat France after that. How is that sound? Fiji with limited game time together I would say they did pretty well. Keep in mind Fiji has beaten some tier one team already France, Wales, Argentina and your precious Scots. Given the right environment and resources we can be a world beater. It's just a matter of time.
@@TheAsiaCentury behave no need for that my friend, i knew fiji won't beat Scotland even the drua, the joks team is up a level different from fiji, fiji has a long way to go on 15, well win deserved Scots, congratulations 🎊
Fiji should improve their defence line ...otherwise the coach must make some changes and let some new breather Fiijian Drua players to take the role...Most Fiijian overseas based players are unfit and have to retire and make room for young players...
It's about cohesion and playing as a team, Henry you are right about overseas based players, they shouldn't have dominated the national team. Fijian Drua players have played together, won a competition together and understand eachother's game better.
Scotland's borders are open, and we welcome allcomers. Particularly those whose ancestors had to leave Scotland to get on in life. Yes, I feel proud about this.
Yeah but the majority have Scottish parents/grandparents, unlike NZ who bring in all the best Islanders. And if you are referring to Argentina, we beat them away last summer by over 40 points with a second string Glasgow team. 90% Scottish. Argentina should maybe bring some imports because they are terrible
Ok. So show all kinds of crap like the post try celebrations, the managers reactions, the crowd etc. but you don't show the 2 yellow cards Fiji got? I mean in 9.25 minutes you could've shown a whole lot more rugby and a whole lot less crap.
The eligibility rules are really killing the chances of the Pacific island nations. It's really sad to see. The best team in the world the all blacks made up of alot of Samoan Tongan Fijian players. Maybe the IRB wants it this way.
don't think it has mate ;) from what I saw they played 13 against 15 and thats definetely when the game was turned on them :) They have plenty of time to improve ;) when you see the tries they scored they can be pretty lethal :)
They should be stronger. Half of their best players always seem to be club-tied and do not feature for the national team. Qera, Nadolo, Nagusa, Koiyamobole, Masilevu, Tuisaiva. There are more I cannot remember
@@drakemasters4226 lndian athlete has won gold in boxing , and other sports at Olympic. Indian boxers knocked out Fijian boxers.lndian made British military win many battle.

Rakesh Prasad Sorry Rakesh Fijian boxers have also knocked out Indian boxers. But let's stick to rugby and not switch topics ghandu. First of all There are no competitive Indian rugby teams nor are there any good (Or even decent) indians playing rugby 😂😂😂 😂😂.
