    There's loads of bits to learn, and Sean Lynn looks quite animated down there in that circle at the moment, almost a bit aggressive.

    But I imagine it's about reinforcing that there's some positive stuff in there.

    We have to get belief and know we are capable of doing more, because it's really difficult when you've got a number of losses under your belt not to dwell on it.

    Losing's a habit and he will not want that to creep into this Welsh squad at all.

    I'm heartbroken for the girls and the staff.

    They gave everything, physically, they left it all out there.

    There were certain things that just didn't go their way.

    It's so tough, but Fiji, huge credit to them, I'd love to see them play more and get more fixtures.

    FT: Wales 25-28 Fiji

    Ahead of the game, the Welsh Rugby Union's Head of Women's Rugby Belinda Moore said Wales had not "failed" at the Rugby World Cup.

    I wonder if today's game will change that view.

  4. Full-time: Wales 25-28 Fijipublished at 16:39 British Summer Time

    Fiji have held on! Ioan Cunningham gets his revenge over his former team.

    Wales finish the World Cup without a win, bottom of Pool B.

    The game ended in the same chaotic manner as it was played in, as Fiji throw the ball straight out from the scrum.

    Referee Kat Roche says the throw was an attempted pass, rather than a deliberate attempt to put the ball dead.

    Wales disagree, but the complaints fall on deaf ears.

    Have Fiji done it? They win the scrum at the breakdown as the clock goes red courtesy of Josivini Neihamu.

    All they have to do is win this scrum.

    Wales are under the posts, two metres out.

    One chance to come away from the World Cup with a win.

    And Wales have stolen the line-out!

    What drama!

    Fiji's clearing penalty kick hardly gets out of their own 22.

    What a rollercoaster end to this game!

    Fiji are awarded a penalty at the breakdown, Wales penalised for holding onto the ball too long.

    The blue shirts celebrate like they have won the game. But it is not over yet!

    Huge moment for Alex Callender, who gets her jackal spot on and wins the penalty for Wales in the Fiji 22.

    Not on this occasion, as a bobbled pass goes forward.

    The pressure is not off Fiji yet, however, as they have this scrum to defend in the shadow of their own posts.

    Back into the Fijian 22 go Wales.

    Can they convert this opportunity as they did a few minutes ago?

    Wales use the wind to pen Fiji back into their own 22.

    The clearing kick only goes as far as Kayleigh Powell, who launches the next Wales attack.

    For these five minutes we have to dominate possession, because we know Fiji will concede tries.

    Into the final five minutes here in Exeter.

    It was not been the highest quality game, but it sure has been entertaining!

    Wales have a scrum just inside their own half.

    It was brilliant. A missed pass from Lleucu George to Carys Cox in the centres which is what made the break - Fiji were set up narrow.

    I'm so glad the players saw that opportunity and then it was about being patient and clinical.

    Remember, if Wales had been successful with just two of their five conversions they would now be leading.
