FIJI produced an uneven performance in Beziers on Friday but it was still way too good for World Cup newcomers Namibia as they ran out 67-18 winners in their Pool C match. The Africans, who are made up of fanatical amateurs, mostly farmers who travel hundreds of kilometres to train, had much to be proud of scoring two tries to Fiji’s nine – Fijian fly-half Waisale Serevi scoring 22 points. They even had the cheek to open the scoring against the 1987 quarter-finalists, who were booed roundly by the crowd after electing to kick a penalty in the final minute, but were given a lesson in attacking rugby for most of the match – trailing 43-6 at halftime. The Fijians displayed their traditional flowing rugby although they were fortunate to score nine tries, including a terrific brace from winger Fero Lasagavibau, as the third one by Emori Katalau was given despite him clearly dropping the ball before crossing the line.
