Comments[edit]

Somebody from Fiji told me that the reason his country has had comparatively little rugby success on the international scene is that Fijians generally prefer to play sevens and are thus just not up to the international level in union. Can anyone comfirm/elaborate on this? Stilgar135 21:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is probably some truth to this; in that Fiji have found a lot of success in sevens. They (most likely) will be champions in the current World Sevens series. In saying that, they are up to international level in normal rugby as well. They lost to Wales by only one point or something at the end of last year, I'd say they are probably 8 in the world or something like that. Hopefully saomeone can better answer your question. Thanks. 00:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

In the section on the 2007 world cup what does "Australia Lost Fiji 55–12" mean? Australia lost to Fiji? Australia beat Fiji? 192.104.67.122 (talk) 20:25, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

changed to "Australia defeated Fiji by 55–12." .--Stemoc (talk) 22:10, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First International[edit]

There seems to be some discrepancy:

From the sidebar:

Tonga 9–6 Fiji
(15 August 1924)

From the article:

Fiji played their first international against Western Samoa in Apia, Samoa on 18 August 1924.

Grande (talk) 11:49, 16 April 2015 (UTC) @Grande: ESPNscrum lists Samoa as the first match. This is the best source I can find so I'm going to go with it. -- Shudde talk 04:57, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Major nations Fiji have beaten doesn't mention Italy[edit]

The opening section lists the major rugby nations Fiji has beaten, yet it doesn't mention Italy. While Italy are certainly the most 'borderline' Tier One nation, they are a Tier One nation all the same. Tooting Carmen (talk) 22:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
