  1. Wales 10-28 Fiji

    The final attack of the half will be for Wales. They have the line-out a few metres out.

  2. Wales 10-28 Fiji

    Elinor Snowsill
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales

    I received my fair share of handoffs like that before.

    I had the misfortune of playing Fiji at sevens and that wasn't fun either in the Commonwealth Games.

    Converted try: Wales 10-28 Fiji

    Repeka Tove, con Litiana Vueti

    To make things even better, it leads to a try!

    Verenaisi Bari's monster hand off gives Fiji a spring in their step, and Repeka Tove burst down her right wing to cross for a fourth Fiji try.

    Litiana Vueti's perfect day with the boot continues. 4/4 now for the full-back from conversions.

    Tove scores Fiji's fourth try to grow lead against Wales

  4. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    If there was a prize for hand off of the tournament then it would go to Verenaisi Bari, who just sat down Kayleigh Powell on half way.

    Wow.

  5. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    Caryl James
    Former Wales wing on BBC Radio Cymru

    I think it was Bethan Lewis there, in front of the ball.

    That just gives Fiji such an easy exit.

    We have to be better than this.

  6. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    The roars are from those in the blue, as Wales get their driving maul wrong and are stopped in their tracks by Fiji.

  7. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    The Welsh scrum finally comes alive, and they win the penalty.

    Lleucu George opts to kick to the corner instead of going for the posts.

    Can Wales find a way back into the contest?

  8. No split loyalty for Cunningham

    Ceri Coleman-Phillips
    BBC Sport Wales rugby reporter at Sandy Park

    It's the Fiji fans who are making all the noise at the moment, they are having a blast here at Sandy Park.

    So is Ioan Cunningham, he's not hiding his celebrations against his former side.

  9. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    It looked like a really promising attack to start with, as Wales break down the left wing and work their way deep into Fiji territory for the first time in a while.

    But Bethan Lewis and Kayleigh Powell are on different wavelengths as the flanker opts to pass to the full-back, and Powell spills it forward.

    Scrum to Fiji just inside their own 22.

  10. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    Caryl James
    Former Wales wing on BBC Radio Cymru

    We have to retain possession now, because Fiji have been clinical, they've scored three tries already.

  11. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    Elinor Snowsill
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Wales

    The crucial thing here is not to panic.

    We did say it would be a two score wind, and Fiji are playing the conditions very well.

    Every time Lleucu and Keira are trying to exit, they're kicking it right back at them.

    Let's maybe keep the ball competitive in the air or stick to grubbers from now on - just for a little bit.

  12. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    This time it is the Fijian line-out which falters, as Keleni Marawa's throw is not straight.

    Maybe a chance for Wales to wrestle back some control.

  13. Wales 10-21 Fiji

    Rachel Taylor
    Former Wales captain and coach on BBC Radio Wales

    Fiji are just so good at moving the point of contact and keeping the ball alive.

    As soon as there's little gaps, we're getting ripped apart.

  14. Converted try: Wales 10-21 Fiji

    Setaita Railumu, con Litiana Vueti

    Called it!

    Once again it is unconventional from Fiji, but very effective.

    This time it is the scrum half Setaita Railumu who spots a gap to the right of the ruck, and takes full advantage to sneak through.

    Litiana Vueti remains perfect with the boot.

  15. Wales 10-14 Fiji

    Wales are struggling to get out of their own half at the moment.

    Fiji look far more likely to score next.

  16. Wales 10-14 Fiji

    Rachel Taylor
    Former Wales captain and coach on BBC Radio Wales

    I think Wales need to be careful here, the run of penalties are going against them.

    One positive, their discipline has changed over this tournament from, if we look over the past few years.

    But just a bit of that ill-discipline creeping in.

  17. Wales 10-14 Fiji

    The Welsh scrum is pushed back at a rate of knots, but Keira Bevan gets the ball out quickly and Wales clear their lines.

  18. Wales 10-14 Fiji

    Another Fiji attacks is ended by a knock on in the Welsh 22, but the Fiji pack are dominant in the scrum at the moment.

  19. Wales 10-14 Fiji

    Sisilia Tuipulotu is the latest Wales player penalised.

    The Wales prop is perhaps fortunate to avoid further punishment for a deliberate knock on with Fiji on the attack.

  20. Wales 10-14 Fiji

    Kayleigh Powell attempts to hurdle a tackle, which is correctly penalised by referee Kat Roche.

    This latest Fiji penalty once again gets the blue jerseys into Welsh territory.
