Honestly, a messy game from us. Good to get a few new players out and get some time but it was very clear they were new.
Fiji were very undisciplined, more so than their usual play, but we should have capitalised more to get a higher score. I know they’re all friendlies basically, but still!

A good win for morale. Australia will be a tough contender next week.
Hollie Davidson was a really good referee

A great result but the score did flatter us a bit. Some young good performances from Gus (if you ignore some dodgy line out throws that weren’t straight) and Sam who got into his groove (though lucky not to have got a straight red)
The real test will be Australia who are currently on form and presume Farrell who side with a more back to basics team selection

They are in decline and have been since the World Cup. No disrespect to the management, it was phenomenal achievement to get them as good as they were. But all teams ebb and flow and at the moment we are a good bit behind SA, France and probably NZ and England too. I think Australia will win.
I hope they don’t, but I think they will . On the positive side, this is a good stage of the World Cup cycle to be in decline, gives scope to improve for the next one – where hopefully we won’t have such a brutal/stupid draw
