    If Fiji calmed down a bit they'd be miles ahead. They're dominating France in the collision but going for the killer pass too early.

    Whether or not France win one thing is certain.

    They're terrible.

    Amazing insights from this commentator.

    "Normally games will have a winner and a loser, unless something happens to make them finish level".

    :D

    Wow Fiji.

    This is awful for France though. One win from three at home.

    Crazy finish. France were awful, from what I saw.

    Hilarious. That was a terrifically entertaining game of rugby.

    Same old France. Ireland needed a drop goal to beat them, NZ struggled to dominate them in the summer, and then this.

    That member of the Fiji staff who brought the tee onto the field should be sacked.

    What a finish! Turned this on by accident for the last 15 minutes. So glad I did, heart in mouth stuff there!

    Just seen that Farrell tackle, even the Sky Sports lads were saying it should have been a pen or even pen try. How does he get away with this stuff?? I thought on the Lions tour he was distinctly average in his general play but was picked solely on kicking. Of course the English commentators have a blind spot when he messes up but even his usual cheerleaders couldn't miss the latest one!

    Is it on YouTube anywhere? In the missus' house and haven't got Sky sports on the box.

    Don't know what that last one was but here's a slightly less sketchy link, although it's from joe.ie so you decide on the risk.

    That is absolutely ridiculous.

    Penalty try all day.

    World rugby is really dragging the game into disrepute with this ****.

    It's a Reddit link. Nothing sketchy about it.

    It's so cynical because even two or three metres away, Farrell was lining up for the shoulder charge.

    He knew he wasn't going to stop him going over.

    It's scandalous that Farrell has been allowed to bring that into his game. Is there any procedure to overrule the on field decision and sanction him?

    If that was GAA he'd be lauded for a perfect shoulder. He's perfected the art of windmilling the arm after the hit so an incompetent ref can say there was an attempt to wrap.
