    Britain in for a long match here

    I recommend watching this on bbc...the tones are all muted. It adds to the enjoyment.

    I don't know why you're focusing on GB so much.

    Just admire this great Fijian team.

    22-0 to Fiji and I think someone has killed someone in the BBC commentary area

    GB did great to reach a final, were an outside shot for a medal so can be happy that they will be going with a medal.

    Fiji are just special.

    29-0 now, and at least Woodward is being gracious and acknowledging just how good Fiji are.

    Don't be a knob about the Japanese team, they're ranked way down, and played great stuff for most of the tournament. If any team choked it was South Africa, should've turned over GB really.

    GBR letting themselves down here. No excuse for that kind of a score line. Fiji are unbelievably hard to play against though. Too big and too fast for any of the other teams. Only way you can beat them is by attacking and doing it better than they can. Psychologically they're not the best and the unforced errors will come in a close game.

    Think Fiji are playing amazing stuff here. they are scoring within 2 phases everytime they get the ball. The real shame is GB have kept giving them the ball!!
