🏉Impressive Fiji winger Wainiqolo levelled at 21-21 but France knocked over two penalties through Ramos before centre Depoortere’s second score took them clear at 34-21 in sold out Bordeaux

Fiji let down by poor lineout otherwise close contest

🏉Stress free #rugby watching in Bordeaux as France open up a 21 point lead through Depoortiere,Marchand and Ollivon (Fiji down to 14 for the last two) before Fiji reply through Ravouvou and Ravutaumada to make it 21-14 at the break

Lovely game to watch #FRAvFIJ

🏉Scrum V Live TV returns with games over Christmas period

A reminder that going down to 3 pro clubs would halve the number of derbies….

🏉Most important game of the month for Wales with World Cup seedings at stake 😬

🏉#WALvARG

Plus points: Tempo & turnovers, more entertainment

Minuses: First up tackling, losing most aerial battles and still kicking a bit much, injuries to key players ahead of important rankings match v Japan, Argentina hitting 50

🏉Promising first half for Wales at times but still a lot to do after slow start and sloppy end
First up tackling needs to improve and Pumas threatening down left
Ruck speed good in possession and a couple of decent turnovers

🏉Interesting to hear what the two sets of supporters make of the draw between Dragons & Ospreys?

Ospreys in control for most of game, Dragons finished strongly & could have won it

Anyway good to see some Wales players in decent nick

Crowd of 5.5K a bit disappointing? #Rugby

🏉Committed and passionate stuff in draw at RP even if not highest quality. Dragons put more decent phases together without having the cutting edge. Ospreys mostly more efficient before fading.

Cutting a side will halve the number of Welsh derbies in the #URC season 🧐

🏉Nerve jangling stuff as Dragons & Ospreys share honours at 19-all. Iestyn Hopkins made it 19-7, maul tries from Brodie Coghlan & Oli Burrows levelled it but Dragons missed 80th min pen to win before nearly 5 mins of overtime! Aaron Wainwright MoM, good to see Jac Morgan back #rugby Att 5511

🏉Good to see Jac Morgan back for the final 27 mins

He arrived with Ospreys leading Dragons 19-7 thanks to Iestyn Hopkins’ try #Rugby #Wales

🏉Dragons finish the half strongly with a Rhodri Williams score after Thomas Young’s fine solo effort is chalked off. 12-7 to Ospreys at HT.

🏉Embattled Ospreys give their supporters reasons to cheer as Harry Deaves’ solo score and Phil Cokanasiga’s try from Max Nagy’s clean break give them a clear lead over Dragons, who’re losing 50-50 balls in the air and struggling in the scrum. #Rugby #Wales

🏉Fingers crossed that the speculation is correct on Welsh rugby staying with 4 pro clubs. Now can they and the union work together for the benefit of all? And what happens to those who publicly backed going down to two? Would be good to concentrate on the actual rugby for a while 🙄#rugby #Wales

🏉Fruitless afternoon for Scarlets losing 29-18 to Lions in Johannesburg (4-2 try count)

Penalty try and late Joe Roberts effort not enough as the Lions hookers score 3 tries between them

Scarlets will hope for locks Ball & Lousi to return against Sharks next week

🏉Cardiff hold on for 24-17 victory despite Dragons pulling try back thru Ben Carter and O’Brien pen earning losing BP, but too late to challenge Cardiff’s dominance in the fixture

Typical hard fought derby but short in quality after flying start from Cardiff
