Bit shocked about Fiji, but not wholly surprised. Scotland with the B team and Fiji have had a few weeks of actual team time. This was definitely on the cards.

Will Wales get a win? I expect so, but a slim one. Currently up by 11 at the break.

New Zealand will beat France in yet another thrilling test match between these two

The Lions will win against a scratch side now

SA will annihilate Italy

Ireland will put on a great display with a narrow win in Portugal

And England are going down to Argentina. Who also have some good game time under heir belts vs an under strength England

Well done to Wales ending an 18 test losing streak. Not a record to be taken lightly!
