It might be the beer or 2 talking but if we don't win by at least 20 scoring at least 4 tries along the way I'm going to be disappointed

[GLove39]

Morning folks, just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the game...

[KickAndChase]

Will PM you

[monty junior]

Any good suggestions for sites to stream this from fellas?

[KickAndChase]

Check ur inbox too courtesy of Carlin & RDW earlier in thread.

[KickAndChase]

I really, REALLY hate watching basketball highlights when there's a perfectly good Flower of Scotland being played in Suva...

[monty junior]

Cheers for the links kickandchase

[KickAndChase]

Note to self: find something else to do or buy pizza very very late on

[KickAndChase]

Cheers for the links kickandchase

[KickAndChase]

Ok this commentator is already annoying me. Couldn't one of us done it?? Really.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Morning folks!

[RuggerRadge2611]

Not just you guys !

[RDW]

I'm up!!!
Picture is crap!

[KickAndChase]

It's a party.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Well, let's gt on with it!

[IanBru]

I'm running on an hour's sleep. God, this is awesome.

[KickAndChase]

American neighbours prob wondering what the horrible instrument (bagpipes) are...



And wow that Fijian girl is HOT

[RuggerRadge2611]

Aye this looks like an old camera used in this broadcast!

Nice to see us well represented at 3am!

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

My round:

Help yourselves

[IanBru]

The way the colour cuts out, it's like a Brian Adams music video.

[RDW]

Tell you what - this better be bloody worth it! Fiji look up for it!

[KickAndChase]

ESPN flashed an apology message across the screen earlier regarding the picture...

Anyone else really not a fan of PIs haka versions? We're going to thump them.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

No.5 is a big lad

[KickAndChase]

My round:

Help yourselves

Nevermind, K&C, Jasmine was v nice

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Yeeha, we controlled a restart!

[IanBru]

Aaaaaaand Visser's Scottish.

[RDW]

Good start in the lineout

[Pal Joey]

Cheers As.

It looks like it's still 1974 in Fiji, Ian.

Good luck lads.

[RDW]

Spoke to soon - Ford!!!!!

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

It's just like my old TV!

Fordy, FFS, front jumper first to get your eye in!

[KickAndChase]

Jasmine may be my only consolation if Ford throws like that all day

We should have had 2 tries by now, c'mon Visser.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Thanks, breaker

[Guest]

Thanks for the links RDW, some man

Anyway, picture from ESPN is RUBBISH and high-pitched whine running in the background as well... Anyone else getting this?

Fiji look up for it. Banana skin here.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Jasmine may be my only consolation if Ford throws like that all day

We should have had 2 tries by now, c'mon Visser.

I think he stole the first lineout!

[KickAndChase]

I think I'm going to mute it

[Guest]

And apparently, Laidlaw plays for Glasgow??! Poor lineout from Ford there... And there's no wind to blame it on this time

[IanBru]

Things this commentator has taught me:
1. Laidlaw plays for Glasgow
2. Scotland beat Italy in this year's Six Nations.

[RuggerRadge2611]

cheers Asbo!

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

3 points to Fiji, nice kick

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Big Richie thinks he's playing 7s!

[IanBru]

3. The Fijian 10 has a 100% kicking record in the Pacific Nations cup, despite not playing any games.

[RDW]

Why the hell we doing exactly what we said we wouldn't do - play 7s?? Why did they give it to Gray and why the offload????

[KickAndChase]

Oh dear where's the facepalm smiley.

No I'm still confident about this.

I think the commentator also said Ross Ford was 21 earlier? I went and wiki'd it just to be sure ...

[KickAndChase]

New drinking game take a drink when commentator says something wrong

[GLove39]

Conceded 6 points in the entire game against Australia, concede 6 in opening 10 against Fiji...

[Guest]

Good clearing out by Fiji there but awful kick there.... And Scotland go off-side.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Another good kick - right lads, no pens in our own half FFS!

[Pal Joey]

You could hear a coconut frond drop before that kick.... almost puts Thomond Park to shame.

[Tattie Scones RRN]

Morning guys

Link to game please?
