The Pacific Island nations have so far been unable to set the Rugby World Cup on fire and grab an all important upset, but have they been getting a fair deal from World Rugby and also the match day officials?

Fiji, Samoa and Tonga have all expressed their frustrations over the first two weeks of the tournament.

RNZ's World Cup panel discusses the issues facing the tier two nations. The panel agrees on most parts of their top All Black starting fifteen, but it's not so clear on the reserves bench.
