MATCH REPORT: Wales 23-13 Fiji

01 Oct 2015

Thanks for tuning in!

Wales' next match is against Australia at Twickenham on October 10, while Fiji next face Uruguay at stadium:mk in Milton Keynes on October 6.

01 Oct 2015

Wales' scrum remains a serious worry though. They won't get far in the knockout stages with a struggling scrum like that...

01 Oct 2015

Well done to Wales! They were clearly tired having played England on Saturday night. They did not get the bonus-point but this win should see them make the quarter-finals.

If Australia can beat England at Twickenham on Saturday, the English would in all likelihood be knocked out of the tournament in the pool phases.
