I don't even know what your issue is. All the points you made about supporting island rugby and Fiji being a joy to watch are addressed in my second line. At no point do I ever say anything negative about Fiji. It is not ridiculous to say we can't even win our own national championship (you know what NRC stands for right?), because it is actually fact. It just happened. Check the scoreboard. So you want to shame me on points you agree with, and call facts dross? You couldn't make less sense if you tried, but thanks for the laugh!

Try not writing utter dross as your opening line

I see reading beyond the first line of a post is not within your capability.

This is a ridiculous statement that is all over the comments section for the wallabies loss. The Fijian team are excellent and a joy to watch. Pacific island rugby needs support not pillaging by rich overseas comps. Good on the NRC for supporting island rugby and shame on u

Fijian 10 has an average pass and some of his option taking was questionable. Very gifted ball runner however and pops up in the right place a lot of the time. Should be a fullback. And I think you mean JP, not DP?

Well done the Drua on your victory... most deserved. Pity the conditions weren't better... but still a wow of a game. Commis Q Country in defending your championship title. That's now two seasons in a row of solid rugby! Congrats DaniE! ;)

Wow. Not just great for the Drua, or Fijian rugby, but for this comp as well. Incredible.

Cracker of a game, well played Drua they delivered in spades. Country had a tough day at the office and their will be sore bodies on the plane tomorrow. Another stepping stone for the baby Reds in the squad, however it is fair to say that each Red player in Countries side was out played by their opposite. The question for Thorn is does he continue to develop a young squad and hope the fans are happy for gallant defeats or buy in some hard hitting talent? Comments on GR&G said Thorn has bypassed Liam Gill as he wants to develop a new culture with no baggage from the past which is a worry.

Ah, Australian rugby, where we can't even with our own national championship. Congrats Drua, a well deserved victory. Great to see an attacking team set the benchmark. Scott-Young, Ma'afu, and Petaia were outstanding for QCountry.

78 mins: Game over Red Rover. The reserve forwards have killed Qld in the scrums again and win a penalty 30 m almost in front. Just a minute go now and they are 10 mins in front. Gone 80 mins and its a Qld feed off a Drua knock-on. Lets see if they can win another penalty. Nope but it doesn't matter as the Drua have won the NRC. Fabulous Fijian Flying "F"ormous Forwards won them this match, backed up by very good halves. They had a game plan that only this team could follow, their pack is that good. Congratulations and what a great move by RA, WR and FRU to get an exciting team into the NRC. A lot of the Qld Country team are regular SR players and they got beaten fair and square by a very good team. I hope people take note in the RWC2019, these blokes are the real deal. :)

Auckland just won in extra time. Never thought I’d want Auckland to win anything but was cheering them on.

Two nail biters happening at the same time both sides of the Tasman!
