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
