    That was a real opportunity missed. We've been singing the praises of Gareth Davies but he simply made the wrong decision there. The ball needed to go to the left."

    Matthew Morgan is so small he's so difficult to grab... Wales just needed a little bit more patience but full credit to Fiji in defence.

  3. Wales 10-3 Fijipublished at 24 min

    Matthew Morgan, a change of pace, a shuffle of the hips, in his own 22 and the full-back surges free down the middle of the field and into Fiji's 22... Gareth Davies, on his shoulder, is supporting... he goes inside, then out, passes to Taulupe Faletau, who is brought down by Levani Botia. A brilliant tackle, but Wales should have scored.

    Wales have certainly eased some of their pre-match nerves with their positive start. They are dominating possession and territory...

    Wales can't afford to lose Alex Cuthbert, Wales haven't got that many wings left so I hope he makes it back onto the pitch.

    Gareth Davies, oozing confidence, takes a quick penalty but is brought down as he attempts to weave to the tryline, but Fiji are caught offside which means Dan Biggar has a chance to extend Wales' lead from in front of the posts - and that's a free lunch for the outside-half. 

    Alex Cuthbert departs, Lloyd Williams comes on - two of Wales' starting line-up have left the field already. Whether the injuries are serious or not we do not yet know. 

  8. Wales 7-3 Fijipublished at 19 min

    Wales's backline are set in motion in their own 22... Matthew Morgan to George North, but there's no open road for the Wales wing this time. Barriers in the way... Never mind, Luke Charteris goes forward... but Wales lose the ball. It's open, it's scrappy, is it playing to Fiji's strengths?

    That is one of the problems Fiji still haven't overcome ...consistency in their kicking."

  11. Missed penaltypublished at 17 min

    Wales 7-3 Fiji

    Alex Cuthbert isolated as he's gang tackled by two Fijians, which presents Ben Volavola with a chance to boot his team into the Welsh 22 with a neat touch-finder. 

    Fiji have stopped Welsh momentum and Taulupe Faletau is penalised for interfering in the line-out. Another chance for Volavola - but he balloons it wide.

    Worrying signs for Wales. Fiji have got themselves on the scoreboard and showed how powerful they are in the scrum.

    Wow. The crowd needed that breather as Bradley Davies received treatment. 

    The word pulsating is overused in sport, but this is living up to it

    Wales have started well and the stats certainly favour the home side...

  15. Penalty - Volavolapublished at 13 min

    Wales 7-3 Fiji

    Wales' scrum retreating, Fiji pushing and shoving with the power of eight bears. John Lacey's whistle toots. Fiji have the penalty and there's whooping, high-fiving and a right carry on among the Fiji forwards. Ben Volavola with a chance to aim at the posts, and the outside-half curls it between the uprights.

    There's blood coming out of Bradley Davies' nose - and it's a very big nose, so it'll take a while to stop!

    Blood gushing from Bradley Davies' hooter, the lock's face making contact with Dan Lydiate's head. Luke Charteris is preparing to replace the Wasps forward but there's no need for the replacement at this moment.

    Good defence from Wales at the minute. You can see what Fiji are trying to do - get the ball wide but there's no real shape. Sam Warburton has made two huge tackles already.

  19. Wales 7-0 Fijipublished at 11 min

    Fiji shove Wales backwards in the scrum, but Taulupe Faletau emerges from the base. Wales lose possession, though, but are playing in their own half which is perhaps why Ben Volavola opts to kick into enemy territory... Matthew Morgan sweeps up with aplomb, though, throwing an aerial grenade back into Fiji's half.

    It was inevitable wasn't it? Pounding away at the line... Fiji were hanging on and Gareth Davies found that gap between the big men.
