    Wales 23-13 Fiji

    Victory over Fiji means Wales will reach the quarter-finals if Australia beat England at Twickenham on Saturday. But if Stuart Lancaster's men prevail over the Wallabies, Wales will probably need to beat Australia on 10 October. 

    But that's enough chit-chat on Wales, Fiji, Australia and England because France are set to take on Canada in Milton Keynes. If you want to know what's happening at stadium:mk, Mike Henson will guide you through the match - all you need to do is click here.

    Johngee123: despite the organisers efforts in adverse scheduling Wales continue unbeaten.. what next RFU

    Small Man Peaky: Neither Australia or Wales have secured bonus point against Fiji. Could be crucial. Still think England will lose out.

  4. Lancaster ready for 'must-win' gamepublished at 19:26

    England v Australia (Sat, 20:00 BST)

    England head coach Stuart Lancaster summed up the situation nicely earlier. 

    "It is a must-win game," he said of Saturday's match at Twickenham. "If we don't win then we don't qualify from the pool stage of a World Cup. There is no hiding away from that, nor from where the responsibility and accountability lies."

    Despite Wales' victory, Pool A is still too close to call - until we know the result of England's tussle with Australia. 

  6. Davies shines againpublished at 19:21

    Wales 23-13 Fiji

    Gareth Davies has proved himself an able deputy for the injured Rhys Webb. The Scarlets scrum-half scored a try, made the most clean breaks (3) and won the most turnovers (4) during the match. He also came close to scoring a second in the dying minutes but was denied by a desperate but resolute Fijian defence.

    Taulupe Faletau again covered acres of grass for his country. The number eight rescued Wales' retreating scrum on a number of occasions and the Dragons talisman made 13 tackles, one fewer than Fiji's Netani Talei who topped the tackle charts.

    Wales' failure to get a bonus point has set many an England fan on a rambled monologue about ifs, buts and maybes. But former World Cup winner Will Greenwood has his say...

    Will Matthew Morgan start for Wales in their clash against Australia on 10 October? The full-back caught the eye from full-back against Fiji, making 124m with the ball in hand - the most of any player - but Liam Williams should have recovered from his knock to the head against England by then. 

    Will Warren Gatland switch Morgan to the wing at the expense of Alex Cuthbert?

    Wales outscored Fiji two tries to one, and Warren Gatland's men could have scored more in the first half had they kept their composure in critical moments. Fiji threatened on numerous occasions in the second half, but Wales were streetwise towards the end. 

    In the words of captain Sam Warburton: "I was knackered in the first half to be honest with you."
