Fiji’s frightening winger puts ITV commentator firmly in his place after outrageous remark

Well said

It’s a brave man that takes on Nemani Nadolo.

ITV commentator, Nick Mullins, rcame under serious fire on Friday night when he made a controversial emark whilst commentating on England’s opener with Fiji.

He said, live on television: “They’ll be back in Fiji around one television hoping the generator doesn’t fail them.”

It sparked a lot of insulted complaints and just general raised eye brows.

Thankfully, Nadolo has come to the rescue.

The powerful Fijian back is a forceful presence on the field and he’s obviously not too shy off it either as he voiced the disappointment of his country at Mullins.

Nadola tweeted the commentator to say:

“There’s more than one TV in Fiji, mate, and power is running just fine. Disappointing mate. #MuppetCall”

UPDATE:

ITV have defended Mullins with an understandable explanation that shows that his quotes were taken out of context.
