    Wales are almost sure of victory and the bonus point is in the bag, but it's difficult not to keep looking at Jonathan Davies on the bench.

    The outside centre - arguably the best in the world - looks utterly dejected as he contemplates his injury, which looks a bad one judging by his body language.

    Liam Williams is on the receiving end of a shuddering hit from Semi Radradra. Proper crash-test dummy stuff as the Wales full-back touched down from taking an aerial ball and was crash-tackled into next week.

    Wales have earned a penalty at the resulting breakdown though and are playing out the final 10 in Fiji territory.

    Fiji have played brilliantly well, they have taken every ounce out of Wales. But as predicted, Wales just had a little bit too much in the locker.

    The game properly opened up. Gareth Davies had nothing much in front of him, he falls over, stands up and the gap just opens up - Wales do to Fiji what they have being doing to Wales.

    Liam Williams (con Patchell)

    The game?

    The Fiji defence is looking a bit ragged and Owen Watkin's step inside puts him into some space before a little slip puts him down.

    Ross Moriarty motors into fresh air though and finally Gareth Davies snipes round the side of an under-staffed breakdown.

    Liam Williams is in support to go under the sticks.

    Fiji know this is the last 12 minutes or so of their World Cup and they want to go out all guns blazing. They play a high-risk game which works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.

    This is a brutal, proper Test match being Fiji and Wales here. It's relentless pressure, wave after wave of Fijian pressure. Wow, we're in for a great finish here.

    A screwy bounce on Ben Volavola's kick wrong-foots a couple of chasing red shirts. Leone Nakarawa grabs it but his offload inside to Api Ratuniyarawa bobbles forward.

    A lactic flood of a passage of play.

    Fiji are not done yet.

    They are pressing up into the Wales 22m. But Ben Volavola coughs up the pill...

    Wales have been relatively lucky with injuries so far at this World Cup - but this is turning into a nightmare.

    Dan Biggar has already gone off, Josh Adams is heavily strapped and limping and Jonathan Davies is off injured as well, looking totally distraught.

    Losing Davies would be disastrous for Wales. Along with captain Alun Wyn Jones, he is probably the player they can least afford to lose.

    Josh Adams is really struggling - if Fiji spot this, Wales could be in trouble. He's hobbling away. He is limping really badly. I think they'll have to reshuffle it around a bit.

    Wales have a few injury gaps to plug.

    Jonathan Davies has picked up a knock and decides discretion is the better part of valour - giving way to Owen Watkin.

    Josh Adams is also in a bit of bother...

    That is box office from Jon the Fox - uses his hand-off, gains speed and then just as you think he's going to get tackled it's out the back, out the cat flap. What a moment from Jon Davies to blitz through that Fijian defence, the presence of mind to find Josh Adams.

    You want your big players to come to the fore when it matters.

    Josh Adams

    Hat-trick!

    It is a superb break from Jonathan Davies, feeding a large slice of palm pie to Fiji fly-half Ben Volavola as he hands off and bursts clear.

    The offload is Fagin levels of deftness and Josh Adams nosedives over the line, getting his feet up in the air and away from the whitewash.

    Rhys Patchell just misses with the conversion.

    What a score this could be!

    Jonathan Davies channels the Pacific Island vibe with a slicing break, an outrageous offload and Josh Adams plunges over in the corner!

    Will it survive the video inquest?

    We're seeing a lot of uncharacteristic errors from Wales, dropped balls and losing balls in contact - usually they have a low error count - 21 missed tackles is huge.

    The distance was not a worry. Rhys Patchell comfortably kicks right through the sticks to level up the scores.

    Rhys Patchell comes on as Dan Biggar jogs off to generous applause.

    Ben Volavola, his opposite number, comes across to check up on Biggar en route.

    Not sure we will be seeing him again in this match.
