Fiji still in with a shot as they have racked up the BPs. Suspect wales will target the set piece and that should be enough. Worth a watch this match.

As mentioned on an earlier thread, if Wales focus on nullifying Fiji's strengths instead of doing what we do well then we'll lose this match.
Starve the Fijians of possession with accurate, multi-phase play. The penalties will come.
Kick the ball dead negating the Fijian counter-attack threat.
If Wales play smart - dare I say it boring 6N - rugby we'll win this comfortably.
If not, it'll be 'Oh no Nantes again'
Wales by 13-18

@MiketheSnow reckon you'll be too good by 20+, close 1st half but kick away late

Hope so.
But we've had our fair share of brain farts in the WC.
A couple of key injuries and/or cards and this will be streetfight.

Willing start to this one.
Fiji with half a chance there but good up and in defence by Wales to foil the overlap Fiji had.

Williams with a nothing kick.
Fiji pounces. Forward?
