[2014 EOYT] France vs Fiji

I think he meant financial gain Big E. Goneva chose to play a midweek game against Barbarians which I'm sure Leicester could afford to miss him and have someone else there.

It doesn't matter anyway because the way France played it wouldn't have made a difference. Good to see Nalaga scoring two tries for Clermont ;)

To be honest I prefer our centre combination of Nadolo and Tikoirotuma. And back 3 of Talebula, Ratini and Nagusa. Also because Goneva don't seems to have the heart and fire to represent Fiji so screw him mann. We're not really struggling in the wingers position anyway.
 
Is Nadolo the biggest kicker (size) in rugby history?
 
Hehehe yeah he kicked a penalty against France from right in the corner about half way

That's a bit harsh considering he was one of your best players in 2011/12 in a period where the side wasn't really getting players fully available. Disappointing he wasn't there last week, but he would still make a great addition for the next games. Also if Matavesi heals his shoulder injury he would improve the side as well, he's surely the successor to Bai not Ralulu.

he must be. Had no clue he kicked, very surprised to see that. I thought it was weird enough he kicked the 2nd half kickoff but then I had to check twice when I saw him preparing for a shot ! And he's pretty good too !! Hit a tough one against France. Quite an incredible specimen.

Yeah that's before he got offered the Leicester contract whilst he was at a French tier 2 competition. He was just using the Fiji team to get a contract and now he's not bothered.

Too early to say that. He was the best player on the pitch for Fiji when they won in Georgia in November 2012 and he was at Leicester then. He hasn't played since as he was in the 7's World Cup team in 2013 so couldn't play June, was injured in November, injured again last June. It's just this past week it's strange he didn't turn up.

I think Fiji might be much better next week anyway regardless. Another week together as a squad, plus a couple of returning players could make a difference.
