Fiji and Spain were involved in some proper tussles - competition their set-ups have been craving - whilst Kazakstan battling past Kenya offered a glimpse of what’s to come from their reinvigorated 15s programme. There were a few wince-inducing scorelines, but - given that Colombia’s opener against Fiji was their 10th-ever test match - the fact they found themselves with a seat at the table at all is to be celebrated, and could prove a sea-change moment in their development.
