For a moment there I thought I was watching a sevens game with the crazy off loads 😂😂
dude I was just abt to say that hahaha
thts cause coaching hve re engineered ther hole game plan to replicate th 7s game, teams @ th w.c r going to find it very confusing to shut thm down.
I'm from Argentina and I love watching this kind of games. I would love to visit Fiji, I hope I am welcome
You're most welcome to Fiji anytime and you actually don't need any visa to come to Fiji if you're from Argentina it's been agreed by our prime minister.
They will make a voodoo doll out of him!!!🧸😆
kayemen415 is right. If you visit Fiji make sure you go hang around the villages. They are much more welcoming and you get to see the real side of Fijians. Not as luxurious experience but Fijian people, on the whole, are wonderful people.
You are most welcome my brother
don't worry, we don't eat Pumas here :D
Unbelievable handling and offloads from Fiji, a beautiful thing to watch (even when they are doing it to your team)
From the US here. Couldn't watch it live but thanks to UA-cam highlights. Riveting and scintillating show of rugby. Of course a stern warning for Tier1 RWC Tokyo. That win over the French was no fluke. Thumbs up continually Fiji. You showed the world that your the no 1 offloaders. Just like watching rugby 7s...the beast is there too, mata, nakarawa, tuisova...OMG!! Watch out.
Awesome tries and running my Fiji brothers. Proud kiwi here but not today lol.. Fiji is my second home once a year im at Cardos steak house. Bula.
😂😂😂 Bula!
Bula bro 👍👍
Cardos 🙌🙌
@@tiaratu iyo Bula😂
I've never ever seen this game before, Just brilliant running rugby. I hope Vern Cotter can lift this team another notch without spoiling that attacking style of running rugby.
Humility at the end..... Well done Fiji!!! Respect.
My dad watched the last time the Maoris lost to Fiji back in the 50s. Said they were all giants.
Im always rooting for Fiji. I hope they will go far in the world cup. From Catalonia , respect
Cheers bro!
Amen bro#kudos
Fiji knows a huge test coming in Rotorua - NZ rugby will retaliate; am glad most of Fiji players NOW adapted to playing in winter conditions
Looking forward to it bro, Fiji will then prove if they're capable of beating tier 1 nations consistently considering what they achieved so far.
This wasn’t even Fiji’s top team rested most key players
Simon Bee NZMaori is not a Tier 1 team.
@@nacanielitupou5457 This Maori team is laced with Super rugby players and those who play rugby in the top ranked country...this team is more or less capable of beating Australia and other tier one nations..All that Im saying is thank you New Zealand rugby for letting Fiji try out its combinations on very very quality opposition..
Yes indeed playing at home is always an advantage and yes i guess the MABs will try and rectify the problems ,as far as the Fijian boys playing in winter conditions oh mate about 95% of their team play club rugby in Europe so winter is no problem !!!
So proud of Fijis historic win over the MAB after 62 years. A very formidable team that surely will create upsets in this year's RWC. Toso Viti.
I'm welsh and even though our team are in ultimate form being undefeated in 14 games. That kind of Fiji is worrying to us to see, knowing they are in our world cup pool. Hats off some awesome rugby by Fiji, they seem to be moving the ball faster at the breakdown something they never really did before.
I'm looking forward seeing Fiii playing Wales, it will be a good game. Hopefully Wales will end up playing our style of rugby like in 2007...😉
Fiji is playing Sevens with 15 players? Awesome to watch.
That's the mistake you don't have to do with Fijans, to let the game turning into 7s. Wales had troubles with it at recent RWC. Keeping Fijans down with static phases is the key, expecially now they have some solidity at half-backs they can be lethal.
Hahaha , well said ...👍👍
Amazing rugby from Fiji. A real threat at the World Cup if they play like this. Poetry in motion at times
Well played Fiji, at the end of the game it's always prayers good to see that, truly this team will cause an upset in the upcoming rugby World Cup. Go Fiji, full support from PNG. #wansolwara #tosovititoso
Very well played Fiji, gave us a good hiding. There's gonna be plenty to reflect on until next week.
churr cuz gg
Just paying Tribute here to Mr. SEAN WAINUI.
Always good to see a Maori representing his beloved country in Rugby.....
Unfortunately, you had to leave us :(
Will always remember the 2 tries you scored against us in Suva (@ 4:32 & 4:55).
Ka nui te mihi aroha mai i to whanau i Whīti.
Good win fiji awsome to see you play to this level.as kiwi maori take my hat off to you guys. Better team by far
Thanks 👍
Fiji a real threat for this world cup I feel. One to watch for sure!
Was not the All-Blacks they beat remember. A false sense of security I think, because no one in the World Cup other than perhaps Fiji will try and play 7's rugby, and that is not going to work.
A dark horse at least, since they will put up a fight against Australia and Wales if they keep up the structure in the set-pieces and defense.
@@pdd640 No, again, do you read, do you have an IQ above 70?. You do not read most of you and misunderstand so much, therefore, not interested. Honestly, the level of acumen with some of you in these threads and message boards is astonishingly low quality.
You need to read what I wrote, if not, piss off.
@@josutovou3403 Again, misunderstood = IQ 80. I hear how you speak, sheesh.
Let's just not try and overate them...we don't want an overconfident Fijian team to the world cup.
Well, now we can all agree with Hansen about Akira....
Dont blame the Maoris, Fiji is by far the most underrated team in the world, they have a huge number of internationals in UK, France and NZ.
You Fijians and Islanders complain to much. As I have controversially said, that if you do not want your side to continue to be decimated, is play in your own country then, build your own facilities, your own league, then you can stop whining about Fijians being in England, NZ, etc, etc, because it aggravates me.
You want Fiji to be good, but the only way they are good is because of NZ, England, etc, etc. So as I said yesterday, if you complain about your players being in other countries, which I do with NZ players, then the solution is play in your own country.
I would like to see the Rugby Union banning players, playing for other International sides in which they are playing for a country that they were not born in. That to me is pitiful. NZ I feel does not need Fiji or Tongans like you think. I think NZ could field a reasonably good if not World Class squad of just Kiwi's. Fiji can, SA can, but England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland are unable to do this. So if you must whine and complain about Fijians being all over the World and playing, then instead of people digging at my truthful views and comments, is to basically not sell out to other countries, which is what everyone is doing, especially in the UK.
NZ could build its own team, as could England in specific and to name a few do not need Pacific RIm players, end of.
@@KiwiGraggle Well, the world needs to see more Islanders because there is no one else that can play rugby like us Islanders. Whether you like it or not, people pay to see the flair of the Islanders, including the hits, so you will see more of us Islanders everywhere.
@@bxv121 Again, you misunderstand. I rest my case ref IQ levels.
@@KiwiGraggle what do you mean? We see them(palagi) come to our high school rugby tournaments to come pick kids from the field, not the other way around.
When given the oppotunity these kids will take it because they wont get it in fiji, cuz fiji is lacking in development but not in talent, and this has been recognised and thus exploited.
We dont really care if they do go and play in a different team, but the complaints do exist and come from a place of frustration, that we couldnt do enough for these kids, that they have to leave their homes and families, to play in a strange country.
@@KiwiGraggle man, you didn't understand a word I wrote, apparently... Fiji, even with top players playing for nz, France and UK, they have Fijian internationals playing on European leagues, but still plays for Fiji, they as good as the ones playing for France nz, etc...
I'm Brazilian, btw...
Thoroughly deserved win. Congrats Fiji.
I'm Samoan but very proud of Fiji.
This wins means the whole Pacific Islands win and confirms that New Zealand without Pacific Island players is Nothing
Again, it was not the All-Blacks, so that will be what, 70-0 to All-Blacks next time we meet. That is the thing, no point in gobbing it unless you have beaten THE All-Blacks and that aint happening anytime soon, whether Fijians are playing for the All-Blacks or not. Remember, you will all end up in NZ in the next 20--30 years anyway from Global Warming, so that comment you made ref: NZ cannot play rugby without Fijians, well nor can England, Wales, etc, etc. So do not point the finger wholey at NZ, that is just ignorance.
Anyway, next time All-Blacks meet Fiji, game over aint it geeze, you know it, I know it.
@@KiwiGraggle Sambozauk = dumb arse one eyed kiwi. Players who get $50 a day beat NZ Super players, who are fully professional and get thousands. Ignorance shines alright.
Many Pacific Islanders in All Blacks
All Blacks = Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Palagi & MAORIS
Fiji = Fiji
Samoa = Samoa
Tonga = Tonga
Geddit? 😂
@Ron Nand And then England, then Wales and so on??. I like how people constantly dig at NZ for having Fijian players.
So lets get this one out of the way shall we for you low IQ'ers that inhabit these rugby threads.
First of all, Fijians and those who constantly whine about NZ rugby, is this. If you do not like it, do not come and play your brand of rugby in NZ then, if you do not like seeing Fijians playing for the All-Blacks, then do not come to NZ and play rugby, it is that simple. Of course, you cannot do that can you Fiji as you have 3rd world facilities and rely on NZ for, ermm, pretty much everything including your food security, health etc, etc. So if you do not want to see Fijians playing rugby for NZ, then go elsewhere, Australia then perhaps as you do not like playing for NZ, go play for Australia. You already have players playing for England and other Northern Hemisphere rugby, so if you do not like Kiwi rugby, piss off to another country and play.
I am fed up with hearing people whine about Kiwi rugby. But you have Fijians, Samoans, etc, etc, yeah and every other effer does too, so do not just dig at NZ, low IQ'ers.
Malie Fiji!!!!!!👏👏👏👏 Awesome ball handling!
A disciplined organjsed fiji, are f kng scary.
Delightful game to watch. Awesome win for Fiji against a formidable opponent.
wow! great game for Fiji -- Those fingertip passes though....
2 weeks together, game 1 pre-worldcup, players still getting to know each others play, coaching staff testing combinations, 6 more games in 6 weeks. Can’t wait to find out what combination Fiji will end up with by August...👌
These offloads were INSANE
Even better watching it live. The Maori All Blacks last lost to a PI team way back in 1973 ✊ Go 🇫🇯 Go! Forward to the World Cup! I was there when Fiji defeated the Maori All Blacks ✊✊ Great rugby.
1957 was the last time Fiji beat the Maori's after that it's Tonga that has the 1970s winning honours
David Stretch google? 😂😂🤣
@@f1j11slander4 Nadroga provincial team in Fiji beat The Maori All Blacks in the 70s (1973 I think) as well even though Fiji lost to Maori a week later.
Vika & Friends not that i asked, but ok good to know 👍🏻🤷🏽♂️
Wow..beautiful rugby ❤️
Beautiful rugby, a pleasure to watch
Hope Fiji carries this momentum onto the RWC
Incredible rugby, how it is best played. Truly, the king of all sports. Go Fiji, they will be dangerous at WC, as always.
Didnt ANYBODY tell the Fijians that it was a 15 a side game? 😀
They probably forgot about the extra eight players with them 😂
What ever lol
Maybe that's why they won ? 🤗✌🏽
Mimeniia f word you.
good move by John Mackee to get former Fiji 7s players. The way Fiji played in this game was just like how they played the 7s game. These are the real Flying Fijians. Amazing. Good job boys! We love you,
Wow..! Crazy off loads from the Fijians. Fijians are the KING OF RUGBY 👆👆.from the Federated states of Micronesia .RESPECT
Isa I was lucky enough to watch it live.. great game .. RIP sean wainui
GOLD MEDAL.
KAI PULU A FISI HE MALAE LELE SIPOTI.
FIJIAN ARE THE MOST FASTER RUNNER ON SPORT FROM THE PACIFIC GAMES 2019 IN SAMOA.
agree.....Flying Fijians are the fastest wingers....
oh man!..wananavu boys for the marvelous performance,you really make us proud and all the best for the build up to the rugby world cup..thank you and GOD BLESS...TOSO VITI.
Amazing hands-play by Fiji! Well done! They deserved to win the match!
Clear message sent out right there for the rugby world cup 2019...beware, high voltage...Fiji mean business, will be one of the dark horses of the tournament......
...well done boys....mesmerizing to watch...
Pita Namesau Dina bro! Toso Viti 🇫🇯
Yep, thats a decent mab team and Fiji powered on! Lol. Fiji have a chance to drive it home 2 zip and really put the bottom 5 RWC teams on notice....again
@@dcaotearoa dude just take the loss, it's okay😂
@@eliaratuvuwaiwaqa2304 oh one of those guys, cant read comments properly.
@@dcaotearoa no no no take this L no rugby troll
Congrats Fiji - well played!
I'm Maori, I'm no expert in rugby teams but I know that Fiji are more than capable of beating any other rugby team in union (when they're on point with the basics)... Due to their speed & explosiveness during or after plays
even though we haven't won a world cup im always proud because we play the game with love and passion
Woww.. the played like their 7s team.. congrats fiji !!
The way the Fijians keep the ball alive is a joy to watch!
This Fiji team looks good . Fantastic offloading fast to the rucks altogether brilliant performance 👏👏👏
Can't wait to see Fiji at the world cup! Exceptional tries
Now put Radradra on that backline... Holly sh**
Fiji on fire!!!
🤣🤣🤣
A very positve sign as far as depth goes...all good across the board and with game time together this team is capable of upsetting tier one teams come September... Its not about winning so definitely need to try out another combination in Rotorua if Radradra is good to go..Toso tiko Viti!!
Hand skills on point!
Maori AB's looking real tired out there and need to tidy up those tackles, tighten up on defence. Obviously the Fijians play with real passion and flair, and well done to them, but the Maori's need to tighten up a bit and start doing the one-percenters, instead of just expecting someone else to clean up after them.
The return match in Rotorua will be quite interesting since the Maori will obviously defend their home ground. If FJ keep up the good work on the set-pieces and the strong defense, then they could win again.
Fiji is building momentum from there win against France and today showing they are a Force to be reckoned with. I'm sure MAB will be ready next week in Rotorua . What a game that's going to be.
Absolutely ...credit to the nz coach whos been sticking around setting up programmes from grassroots ...💪👏 results .... that wasnt even the 1st team for fiji ..would be a brilliant match up nxt week ...i dont doubt fiji supporters would turn up like in 7s tourneys too ...good luck to both teams ☝
Despite of all the differences, wishing Fiji luck for the 2019 world cup. Go Fiji go, you also represent your Pacific island neighbours. Prove the world that we Pacific islanders can make a difference in rugby.
Fiji los globetrotters del rugby, espectacular juego!
Well done both teams some good hands out there ...hope Fiji will carry on the momentum to the world cup🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯TOSO VITI TOSO
Fiji playing 15-man 7s, and the MABs learnt nothing about kicking the ball away and creating broken play opportunities for the Fijians to run at them. Hope that centre has a nice lucrative European club contract somewhere...
Centre has a lucrative contract in the french top 14.. Majority of the players are currently playing at the top 14 including the no.8 who was the awarded the best player of the season.
Theme of the day?
Off-load!
well done Fiji and a decent crowd
Fijian rugby at its finest so enjoyable to watch
Vinaka Maori AB , For coming to Fiji, this definitely helps in our development and WC preparation to be playing against high level opponents. Only wish the mighty all Blacks would allow us at least one or two match every year! That would go along for Fijian rugby!
I just love everything in their game.....from accurate hands,courage,bravery,turnovers...Fiji are just the best in what they do....you can't study their Game....AM IN FOR FIJI THIS COMING WORLD CUP
Hope Fiji beat the Aussies at the world cup !... they are a bloody good team
finnmacool Australia always turns up to the RWC
I hope Fiji beat NZ with genuine douchebag comments like that
They will have a good chance. Rugby Union is a declining sport in Australia...
@@asjeot Aus 20s prooves thats not the case. As for NZ u20s....lol
@@jormundgandr88, I was referring to viewership but I guess even when you look at participation, union is down the list. Even soccer is watched more than Union in Australia.
Bula Fiji! awesome game and the offloads were on point!
Love the offloads👏👏👏
Maori AB's outclassed by Fiji speed and passing. Great game Fiji. MAB defence was pitiful.
All blacks should have played Fiji not Tonga in a test before WCup. Fiji has a point to prove to NZ rugby after their dominance in league and sevens over them.
And it will be another 60-0 to All-Blacks. I think you are getting ahead of yourself. See this so many times from sides who want to down the All-Blacks, lol. What normally happens is you lose.
@@KiwiGraggle bro what are you smoking, ive seen you in other threads talking the same shjt, if you think that you must be high because no one else thinks that.
Its not like that anymore. That score against the maoris could have been 50 up and beating france in france is not easy. Fiji has the biggest stock of rugby talent at the moment.
@@KiwiGraggle oh stfu you ignorant wanker Your comments are dogshyte ..."and it will be a 60-0" 😂😂😂 ye we will see .
@@KiwiGraggle will see 👀 could be the other way around
I think this world cup everyone should keep an eye on Fiji.
Thought keeping an eye on things was your job
@@matta2738 lol....i think that stands for full blooded islanders and not the one you are thinking of......
This is real test rugby..natives of NZ..the Maori (not the All Blacks, who have people of different origins)..and the natives of Fiji..Fijians..No others included...the Fijians came on top..congrats to our gladiators! Toso Viti
Which country are you from then?.
Again, if you do not like playing in NZ, go elsewhere. Whiny, whine, whine aren't you.
sambozauk you idiot with low iQ where on his comment does it say ‘ i dont like these overseas players playing for new zealand, maybe they should go home’ where does he say that?? Is your head so far up your arse you cant see past you outdated ignorant comment ? Must be your Low IQ problems
I think fiji played very well to their strengths.
The MAB were sucked into a game of sevens and can't live with 15 sevens players on the park.
I think both Wales and Aus will have an almighty battle with them in pool play,but would expect Wales to get past them and Aus always step up at RWC.
I hope it's a great tournament and may the best team win it.(WALES) 😎😎
Imagine if figi play like this in the World Cup. Scary to think about.
What a joy to watch. Done sublime rugby at times. Credit to Fiji, some amazing hands.
I think the Maori thought they were in a soccer game lol kick and clap, coach needed to send a message out fast to stop kicking the ball away, also some of that tackling was kindgarden stuff, well played Fiji you just gained a new supporter (Maori nz) .
well done fiji keep up the good work 👉💪🌴🌴🌴
The Maori Boy's don't get use to the weather plus they been look after very well with the food and our Fijian culture.....The only sports that bring everyone together as a family....God bless the Kiwis and the flying Fijian in the future.
Same thing can be said about what happened to Fiji in Rotorua on the return match, they don't like cold chilly weather
they should drop an Australian side from the Super Rugby comp and include FIJI!
And now they're in so they'll most likely be in the Australian conference in the 2022 season onwards.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾they both played really good 👏🏾👏🏾
Well done to our Fiji brothers. Maori looked tired and unfit. Too much boil ups bro
Kai Maori too much.
😂 Sad guy, but keep in mind the Maori boys playing in some hot as fxck weather they're not use to, not saying that is an excuse but one of the reasons they got tired quickly
Kai Now lives g lol
Too much Boil-ups my bruhhh!!...
@@Washyourbum28 same fijian boys wer playn in colder wheather...plus temperatures wer around 26 degrees celsius...anyways good game
Herw they come, the Fijian rugby at it's best!
Also, Akira, I'm your fan but wanna see more staunch defence from u, to make the AB's.
Ill pass on the word mr hansen 😂😁
Dude Akira needs to lose 10kg and get fit, even Hansen said it after the Squad was named, it stood out like dogs balls in this game
@@ianbing agree.....he is a solid ball runner if he was fit.......no more boil ups for him......
Creat additude n strong running game from Fiji....MAB should not surprise what they against...Fiji deserve this win they have to maintain this style of game is cona upset any big team on the world cup in Japan...
they did not expect tuisova and nokosi and also botia doing the damage ✌✌
they are magicians
They just need like others Pacific Islanders that World Rugby give them a larger cake
Congrats Fiji awesome games.
Those kind of off loads are the point of difference. Hard to defend against. I’m surprised so intercepts.
Well done Fiji, keep grinding..awesome performance and flare 🤙
Fiji has a lethal backline but should concentrate more on the forward, we want to see try from rolling maul or pushover try..make tier one nation think twice before playing fiji.
Totally agree.....when or if the Fijians get the forward pack up to international level then they are going to be hard to beat as they have an awesome backline,real firepower..........
@@verakoolz8976 actually they have very athletic and classy backrowers too ....oh and world ranked at that Yato,mata,nakarawa,kunatani....guess playing together fo this next 5 weeks...will set them up fo a very good opener against australia..
Absolutely awesome
Good stuff Fiji. Congratulations fellas. Good luck at the World Cup. And this is the reason Akira Ioane was not picked in the All Blacks squad for the World Cup.
Stunningly Brilliant ... Bendegedig!
3:02 and people wanted Akira in the ABs smh
VINAKA VAKA LEVU!!! Awesome game Fiji ofa atu
The offloading was quality absolutely but that Maori defensive line was a shambles the whole game
You really cannot coach the freedom and skill Fiji play with. Unreal to watch, really hope they smash the RWC
Fiji and wales to win the group at the RWC 🇫🇯 🏴 🏉
Bryn Hall made a huge difference when he got on. Imagine if they had the services of Aaron Smith and TJ coming off the bench. Not to mention Codie Taylor, Jackson Hemopo, Rieko Ioane, Josh Ioane, Matt Proctor. Good win Viti though, did us proud. Should be another tough game next week 🇫🇯
All Blacks maybe ???
@@jarguar8503 yeah no doubt they are All Blacks (except Matt Proctor now). I'm just saying that the Maori All Blacks could have fielded an even stronger/experienced side if they had all eligible players available. I know our Fijian side was pretty much near full strength bar maybe Radradra and Yato. Good footy to watch though. It looks like there are heaps of lineup changes for the second game.
Bro Maori All Blacks got tired of the offloads😂😂
Good on you Fiji. ❤️👍😊
Looks like Hansens & cos player axing was bang on the money, MABs looked asleep.
That was not a Maori team. Maori team are always number 2 ab team. Explain your comment please.
@@bennadrala4255 more like 4th / 5th string as the first 3 choices of most positions are in the world cup squad, not the Maori squad
