Game well under way in Exeter with an early try for the Islanders

That should have been a yellow card against Tongan 11 if not a penalty try.

tomahawk chant starting from the Sandy Park faithful.

22-7 at half time.

Great fun, but jeez the number of knockons, chargedowns

That was by far the worst refereeing performance of the World Cup so far. Spoiled what could have been a very good game.

I quite enjoyed that game. I love games played in the sun, without a roof, not under floodlights. Getting rarer and rarer these days at international level

Was a cracking game both sides happy to play, I understand why the organisers had to use bigger grounds but pity more games could't have been played in old fashioned rugby grounds.

There have been some great atmospheres mind you the big stadiums have been great to.

The very Worst performance by a ref - I think of all time - allegedly only happened a week ago.  And now this performance beats that?

If this keeps up, they'll be asking the Captains of each team to ref themselves.
