Fiji beat France 21-14. Surprisingly little talk about it

We struggled to put them away last year. They've some impressive athletes and can score tries from anywhere.

They also get to train together much much less than other nations. That's what they can do with only 3 weeks training, imagine what they could do with proper access to players.

France were abysmal though - very looked like a team that had never met before but Fiji were well worth their win.

I read somewhere that they'll be getting 8 weeks together pre-RWC. Good bet for an upset vs Wales or Oz.

We saw before what 8 weeks together could do for Namibia and Georgia- teams can get a good distance up the learning curve in that time
