    Wales 7-10 Fiji

    Wales have Fiji pinned in their own corner.

    Ben Volavola has a horrible bobbling grubber to deal with and he gets clobbered by a chasing Josh Navidi as he does so.

    You don't need that.

    Wales are going to restart play, with a scrum five out.

    Ben Wire: These are surely the best World Cup pool stages, ever? I fully expect Wales to win but it's great to see the big boys rattled!

    Cassia: Today in irritating rugby refereeing discussions: the definition of forward and the low tackling being bad too

    Adam Williams: Well, looks like Fiji want to run a repeat of 2007!

    Exactly what Wales needed.

    A set-piece, sending Hadleigh Parkes straight up the middle. Josh Adams keeps his width, and the kick is absolutely perfect. Much-needed territory and much-needed points for Wales.

    Josh Adams (con Biggar)

    Dan Biggar's boot could deliver parcels through your letter box all the way from the downtown depot.

    The Wales fly-half, with a penalty advantage for insurance, kicks across field for Josh Adams.

    It is a perfect parabola, leaving Ben Volavola floundering underneath and unable to get a fingernail on the ball.

    Adams gathers and trots in. Biggar adds the extras to ice the cake.

    Incredibly physical, this is a brutal game. You can hear the hits, you can feel them. But you cannot enter a ruck like that, off your feet, he's lucky it's a yellow card - if that connected anywhere need a head, it's a red card.

    And the power play has been evened up.

    Fiji second row Tevita Cavubati is shown yellow for a clear-out at the ruck that was no bind and all shoulder into a prone red shirt.

    Would you like a definition of 'Hospital Pass'?

    Josh Adams has just offered one with his pass to Hadleigh Parkes just now.

    Games gone soft apparently.

    Try telling that to Hadleigh Parkes. The Wales centre is rattled to his bootstraps by an almighty hit by Viliame Mata.

    Perfectly legal, seismically impactful.

    James Davies is sacrificed by Warren Gatland to bring on Elliot Dee in the front row to fill in for the sin-binned Ken Owens.

    For the first 13 minutes it's all been Fiji.

    Ken Owens is off with the yellow card so Wales are trying to buy a little bit of time, slow the game down.

    They need to get out of their own half, just put pressure on the Fijian set-piece.

    Wales 0-10 Fiji

    Fiji get funky off a line-out ball - a load of dummy jumpers popping into the air like it is a whack-a-mole machine before hooker Samuel Matavesi bullets one right to the earth-bound prop at the front.

    A fumble and the ball goes forward. But Fiji are in the mood.

    They need to slow down this Fiji attack. They need to get their best jacklers over the ball to stop Fiji playing with this tempo.

    Kini Murimurivalu

    And Fiji make their extra man count immediately!

    They kick to the Wales 22m from the penalty against the yellow-carded Ken Owens and then spin wide. The Wales defence holds off as Kini Murimurivalu takes the ball, perhaps conscious of the lurking Josua Tuisova out wide.

    The Fiji full-back hints at a pass, straightens and bundles over.

    Ben Volavola misses the conversion, but his side have backed Wales into a corner already in this match.

    It's a very difficult scenario. Ken Owens knows he's been slightly beaten by the pass, he's committed to the tackle, his next movement from squatting is straight up in the air which makes the Fijian flip over into a dangerous situation - I think the referee has got it spot on. Owens put the Fijian in a very awkward position.

    Welsh fans everywhere will be getting flashbacks of Sam Warburton's red card for a tip tackle on France's Vincent Clerc in the 2011 World Cup semi-final.

    Just a yellow for hooker Ken Owens, though.

    Ken Owens shakes his head. Alun Wyn Jones argues the toss with referee Jerome Garces.

    But Owens is going for 10 minutes on the naughty step for that tackle on Villame Mata.

    The pass was forward. No try.

    But Wales hooker Ken Owens might be in trouble here. He has been picked up for a tackle on Fiji number eight Villame Mata, sending the Edinburgh man bottom over breast and crashing over his shoulder to the Oita turf....

    A poor Fijian pass - they were trying to run it out.

    As the ball is being passed, Hadleigh Parkes comes in with wide arms and knocks the ball out, he's trying to bear hug one of the Fijian players.

    You can see the intent from Fiji. They want to play and run from everywhere. It's classic Fiji, playing with width. It might take 60 minutes to break this team down, Wales have to be patient.
