Trailing South Africa 20-6 and are down to 14 men with centre Seru Rabeni in the sin bin, Fiji look like falling to a large defeat during the Rugby World Cup quarter final in October 2007 at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.
However from out of nowhere Fiji launch an extraordinary attacking wave urged on by the crowd and in 3 minutes score 2 converted tries to level the scores after an hour's play. First wing Vilimoni Delasau chipped ahead to score a 50 metre individual effort. Then right from the restart fly half Seremaia Bai, full back Norman Ligairi, scrum half Moses Rauluni surge downfield with breaks and wing Sireli Bobo has enough momentum to finish.
Fly half Nicky Little who was badly injured at the end of the previous match against Wales and is serving as a pitchside pundit can barely gets any words out of his mouth afterwards.
