Fiji have been really impressive during this June tour, by far the most improved P.I side. Reckon their rwc2019 group will be another (or rather 'the only' considering how weak argies & French are) pool of death. France awful, Wallabies underwhelming (borderline awful at times), Japan so-so, SA looking just 'ok' against an awful side, Ireland & England 'b" sides impressive, Scotland & Wales ok but don't have the depth of the other 2 lions sides.
What struck me most yesterday was the difference in skill levels (ball handling, pace, set piece everything) between AB/BIL and others as well as AB & BIL. These 2 sides played a different sport yesterday and guys like Read or Retallick different positions (with their very own skillsets) in a different sport. Both sides were sublime, Brits & Irish intermittently, kiwis for 80min.
