Fiji produce maybe the most embarrassing moment of the Rugby World Cup so far

October 3, 2019

Finally, after two games including the embarrassing loss to Uruguay, Fiji finally lit up the Rugby World Cup in a way only they really can.

The flair, the offloads, the fun and a possible try of the tournament contender were all there as they ran out as big winners over Georgia.

There was also this, prop Manasa Saulo getting in the way and being struck on the head by a pass from the halfback.

Sublime or calamitous, Fiji are always entertaining.
