Wales need to keep close tabs on Vuate Karawalevu today.
The Fiji full-back made eight line breaks during the 2024 Pacific Nations Cup, more than any other

How good is it to see these two back together for Wales?
Gareth Anscombe and Tomos Williams return for Wales for the first time since last year's World Cup.
Since then pair have been partnered at Gloucester where they have both hit top form.
"When I got to Gloucester it felt like I was meant to be there and it has been refreshing," said Anscombe.
"It's been nice linking back up with Tommy again, we know each other from our years at Cardiff. He's been outstanding for Gloucester, one of our best players recently and is world class."
