Has the Kiwi anthem just been butchered by the CD player? 

Why is our game so hopeless at this. The anthems should be magical.

[Man of Kent]

That QF five years ago was one of the most gripping victories by an underdog I’ve ever seen. Let’s hope

[GeordieSaint]

Good first set by the Fijians - made it over halfway.

[hindle xiii]

My only gripe with Andrew Voss is that nearly everything reverts back to the NRL. Still great though.

I think he's quite aware that he's often introducing international football to NRL viewers and NRL players to international RL fans.

Great to see the huge black & white Kiwi support in the stands. 

I think half of those are the black and white of Fiji.

I think it gets butchered every time simply by playing two bloody verses!

Because the sport is run by incompetent oafs .

[GeordieSaint]

New Zealand are playing an electric pace. 

[Archie Gordon]

What a difference a ref can make.

[Sports Prophet]

Is this the first game to go ten minutes without a score?

[Dunbar]

Fiiiiiiiijjjjjjiiiiiii

[Archie Gordon]

Woohoo!

[DavidM]

That thrust at the ruck from Brandon Cheese and Harry Grant is one area they have over us with Mcilorum

Well, that worked a treat.

Now… is there any chance I will win the lottery?

It happens to other sports too like Football, when the South Korean anthem was played for the North Korean team, resulting in an international incident. But let's not interrupt the enthusiastic self-flagellation.

[gingerjon]

Game on

Brilliant tap on and finish.
