Started watching this one, rather choppy stream though! 2nd penalty try to Italy, time up on the stream clock, but didn't look like it has been stopped at all? Any idea how longs left?

EDIT: Another Fiji try by Nalaga after some really loose play by the Italians in their own 22. Score now 23 - 14 conversion to come
DOUBLE EDIT: Twitter tells me that the match ended 25 - 14 to Fiji!

Yeah its pretty much over now, Fiji won 25 - 14 well done Fiji. Been a while since we beat Italy. Great sideline conversion from Nadolo, who would have thought such a big man would be a good goal kicker haha
 
nadolo does everything, unbelievable player
definitely i don't consider italy as a tier 1 nation.

don't know what happens with samoa but i hope fiji beat them and recuperate their crown of pacific nation of rugby, they have a revenge to take.

Yeah seeing this team, I can't wait to watch the Pacific Nations now. I missed the Samoa vs Tonga game, but just looking at the players in these teams, Samoa vs Fiji is gonna be a hell of a game. Assuming these players will be there. The game was quite sloppy at times, but from open play Fiji were very dangerous
 
Seems a bit harsh to relegate Italy down a Tier just yet! Yes it's been a pretty damn poor season for them, but not like they haven't been competing with the big boys over the last few years with significant back to back home wins vs France, plus a win against Ireland and plenty of close competitive games against England and Wales.
 
Good job Fiji! This result exposes again the unfair and artificial nature of the Tier system in rugby. Italy barely won the previous match when Fiji was robbed by the ref with all those yellow cards.
