Fiji have pulled off a remarkable test triumph with their first win over France, getting home 21-14 in front of a stunned Stade de France crowd. Fiji will go to next year’s World Cup as dangerous outsiders with the ability to disrupt the established order. But any thoughts that Fiji might capitulate after the break disappeared quickly as Volavola kicked two penalties to see Fiji 18-14 ahead before Tuisova dotted down for a try that was then disallowed. France were under constant pressure from the free-running Fijians, whose errors were as exasperating as their flair was enthralling. France had won all nine of the teams' previous encounters.
