Hello and welcome to today’s match between Fiji and the USA, live from Stade de la Rabine in Vannes, France. Fiji comes into this match from an agonisingly close encounter against Wales which saw them go down by 17 points to 13 in Cardiff last week, and a rather heavy defeat against an in form France outfit. The USA have taken heavy defeats to both New Zealand as well as Tonga, but produced the goods to beat Romania by 27 points to 17. This match is certainly one that both teams would have highlighted for a win. The USA are missing their English premiership pair of Chris Wyles and Blaine Scully, but have gained the services of Taka Ngwenya and Todd Clever who will certainly lift the team.
