    Josh Navidi scampers over after the ball goes to ground from the hand of Kini Murimurivalu and George North pounces.

    But the line judge is across to have a word. He thinks that Hadleigh Parkes knocked on in the tackle on Murimurivalu.

    He had . No try.

    No wonder he is nicknamed 'The Bus'. What strength from Josua Tuisova. He is a double-decker bus... a big, big unit on that Fijian wing.

    He gets a bit too physical sometimes, but that was 110kg smashing everything that moved.

    Try - Wales 0-5 Fijipublished at 4 mins

    Josua Tuisova

    A superb score! Josua Tuisova is right up alongside the volt and watt as a unit of power.

    The Toulon wing bumped off Josh Adams, took Dan Biggar for a piggyback ride and had enough nous to get his feet off the ground and get the ball down in the corner.

    No luck for Ben Volavola from the tight angle.

    Josua Tuisova! Massive thighs, massive power!

    The Fiji wing ploughs over with Dan Biggar, Josh Adams and Josh Navidi hanging off his coattails.

    But has he got it down cleanly?

    That is nearly impossible to defend from Fiji! But what a try-saving tackle from Ross Moriarty.

    That is what they do!

    Astonishing skills from Fiji second row Leone Nakarawa who flips an offload round the back of a Welsh tackler and into the mitts of captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu.

    The flanker stampedes into the Wales 22m.

    Ross Moriarty is across to snaffle him, before Levani Botia is hustled into touch. But that was a warning shot across the bows.

    Fiji took their time, in a huddle, playing a few mind games.

    But when I look at this Welsh team I just see quality all the way through - they are really streetwise and full of confidence after that Australia win.

    The Welsh national anthem gets louder and louder with every match here in Japan.

    There are so many red shirts in the stands, this must feel like a home fixture for Warren Gatland's men.

    Very melodic and very heartfelt from Fiji, who stroll back to offer up their cultural challenge - the Cibi.

    The crowd cheers as they gauntlet is laid down with relish.

    Here we go. Kick-off comes next,

    James Davies looked like he was staring down back through generations of his countrymen come and gone as he sang the Welsh national anthem.

    Ken Owen probably loudest on the decibel-meter although pushed close, as ever, by the skipper.

    Alun Wyn Jones leads out Wales as the local drummers thwack out a rhythm on the pigskin.

    Fiji, who warmed up with a team song, before clattering down the corridor and out to the pitch will get another chance to exercise the vocal cords with the anthems to come shortly...

    There has to be an expectation on Wales. They should be thinking semi-finals, final... but I feel the attitude needs to change and they need to be more confident.

    Hadleigh Parkes broke a bone in his hand during Wales' opening World Cup win over Georgia, but that didn't stop him playing - and scoring a try - in the victory over Australia.

    The centre is having to wear so much tape to manage different injuries that he's earned the nickname Robocop from his team-mates.

    You can read more about that in Hadleigh's BBC Sport column here.

    Welsh rugby has seen its share of celebrity hook-ups in the past, with likes of Gavin Henson and Charlotte Church and Mike Phillips and Duffy.

    Fiji rugby has its own celebrity fan in Hollywood actress Shailene Woodley, who is the other half of Fiji fly-half Ben Volavola.

    Woodley, who is in Big Little Lies among others, sounds like she is pretty sold on rugby.

    Fiji are dangerous and didn't get what they want against Uruguay. That was a disaster really in their challenge to get out of the group. Wales are the better side and should win, but I think Fiji will have their best performance of the World Cup.

    BBC rugby union correspondent Chris Jones, former England fly-half Paul Grayson and producer Louise Gwilliam also visited Tokyo as England secured their place in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals after a 39-10 win over Argentina.

    There will be one corner of Fiji that is Wales for at least 80 minutes.

    Gareth Baber, formerly on the staff at Cardiff Blues, is the current Fiji sevens coach after taking over from Englishman Ben Ryan three years ago.

    "I have been asked a lot of questions about where my allegiance lies," said Baber.

    "I am a Welshman coaching Fiji and when we are involved in sevens competitions my focus is fully on Fiji.

    "The conversations I have had recently are about my support for Wales.

    "I will be watching it here at the British High Commission in Fiji with a few other Welsh people around with us trying to get an atmosphere for the big event."
