RECAP: Wales v Fiji

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to the World Cup pool match between Wales and Fiji in Oita.

Wales will look to ramp up their performance to another level against Fiji on Wednesday, amid constant reminders of their costly loss to the Pacific islanders in the 2007 World Cup.

A late try to Fiji 12 years ago and Wales crashed out of the tournament while still in pool play.

It was a shock result that is now the stuff of legends in Fiji, and an ongoing nightmare in Wales where there were instant repercussions, with coach Gareth Jenkins sacked immediately.

Prediction: If Fiji managed to keep their penalty count down and managed to take full advantage of their opportunities, they could cause major problems. Warren Gatland has picked a strong side that will be up for the challenge and thus Wales suppose to take this by 7 points.
