It might be hundred and done. Could see Rassie putting some of the older players out to pasture soon

Apparently Rassie has said something along the lines of the Italy and Georgia matches being a potential farewell for some of the older players.
I think the thing about Willie is that a lot of the good things he does go unnoticed. Everyone remembers the try scorers, but no one remembers the guy who made the final pass, and so often it's him. As a result his mistakes get picked up on more than they should be, leading to people calling for him to be out of the team.

Wales up 14-3 nearing halftime. The streak could be coming to an end.
Make that 21-3 on the back of a very slick set move from a lineout 50m out.
Edit2: Eddie hooks the entire front row at min 38, they win a scrum pen at 39:30, then one of the props strolls over from some neat play after being tackled (released, stood up, picked up, walked 5m to go in untouched). Eddie may be a mad genius after all.
Could be a great 2nd half.

You hate to see it. Had to happen sooner or later though.Wales actually win a game
Meanwhile I see Mick Byrne's charges took the cane out of the cupboard and administered the Sweaties a good, Fijian styley thrashing.

Solid performance vs France C (especially 1st half). Some good signs.
Am pleased for Wales, but a shame for Japan. Good effort by Fiji

Awesome game I must say - attacking rugby and Fiji should have won by more really.
I'd love to see some sort of idea come up where the winner of the Pacific Nations Cup each year gets the chance to play in the Rugby Championship. Bring South Africa back into the fold, and make it a 6 nations southern hemisphere edition.

It's also why the All Blacks are too scared to tour the Pacific islands.

It depends whether he saw the headbutt or not. It wasn't immediately obvious, so he might not have known why Wiese was red carded. But absolutely a completely stupid moment from Wiese.
