  1. Wales survive 'awful' last 10

    That's what we asked for before the World Cup, to see games you'd remember.

    No one will forget that game we're so lucky to see that.

    Wales were so lucky to win that, Fiji should have won the game they gave everything.

    The last 10 minutes I couldn't believe what I was seeing from the Welsh players, after playing so well for 30 minutes the last 10 was awful!

    It is the performance we weren't looking for but the win that we wanted and I think this is where it all begins now, it is the momentum we want to get through the pool stages and take us further.

  5. FT: Wales 32-26 Fiji

    Well rugby fans, how's the heart-rate, are the nails nibbled down, are you not entertained?

    There's been some real crackers in this opening round of matches and that one was right up there. Wales rode their luck but put bodies on the line to earn that.

    Fiji will feel that they could well have taken that and the coming Pool C games between them, Wales and Australia promise more thrills.

  6. 'Lost for words'

    Wales fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I am lost for words, how good were Fiji to go the length there?

    The skill level the execution the accuracy of their play, that is the growth that Fiji have made in the past 12 moths to two years.

    The absolute stardust that Fiji have on the field today, it is cruel that Radradra is the one to knock the ball on right at the end.

    What a feast of rugby we have had this evening.

    The Fijians are on the floor. They are absolutely distraught.

    Stereophonics ring out as the Wales fans take a deep breath of relief.

    What a game of rugby.

  8. FT: Wales 32-26 Fiji

    Commentator on BBC Radio Cymru

    I can't believe what I've seen in Bordeaux.

    Heart-break for Fiji, it was a try and they've knocked it on.

    Wales have survived in the most dramatic game you'll see ever, Fiji couldn't have given more and are on their hands and knees.

  9. Full-time - Wales 32-26 Fiji

    Wales hold on for the win!

    But it was in Fiji's grasp with Semi Radradra in acres of space on the left - it wasn't the best of passes, bouncing once on its way to the centre, but you'd back him to take it nine times out of 10. Instead he spills it forward and the whistle goes straight after.

    Never has a knock-on been celebrated so enthusiastically by Wales fans.

    It has been an incredible spectacle.

  11. Wales 32-26 Fiji

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    Everything came from the mistakes from Wales a line deep in Fiji's half then a mistake from Dillon Lewis and the next thing you know all the pressure has been on Wales.

  12. try

    Try - Wales 32-26 Fiji

    Mesake Doge

    The replacement prop Mesake Doge burrows his way over the line for a fourth Fiji try but crucially the conversion is missed.

  13. Wales 32-21 Fiji

    Wales absorbing massive pressure but a Fiji score looks inevitable. They need two scores though, is there enough time to get both?

  14. No try

    Wales 32-21 Fiji

    Back come Fiji again and the pack take it on. It could be another try? TMO having a long look again. Momentum or double movement - on-field decision was a try.

    No try! Double movement but there's still a penalty advantage to Fiji who opt for the scrum.

  15. Wales 32-21 Fiji

    Ceri Coleman-Phillips

    The Fiji chants are deafening, they are throwing everything at Wales in these dying minutes.

  16. Wales 32-21 Fiji

    Fiji earn a penalty almost from the kick-off and go for a huge touch-finder. Liam Williams somehow manages to pluck it out of the air and clears. Magic from the full-back.

  17. Wales 32-21 Fiji

    Nicky Robinson
    Former Wales and Cardiff fly-half on BBC Radio Cymru

    Dillon Lewis missed a tackle then gave a cheap penalty away.

    Wales' bench has been awful.

  18. Wales 32-21 Fiji

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    It's going to be a long seven minutes for Wales now.

  19. converted try

    Converted try - Wales 32-21 Fiji

    Josua Tuisova

    Finally the Fiji pressure tells. Semi Radradra is heavily involved but it's Josua Tuisova who reaches out under the tackle to dot down for a converted try. Seven frantic minutes to come.

  20. Wales 32-14 Fiji

    Fiji have a series of re-set scrums deep in the Wales 22. They're keeping it tight - surely it's their backs who are the aces away from the pack?
