Wales v Fiji

First topic message reminder :

Match thread.....

This game is progressing how Fiji would want, Wales need to wake up and do the basics right and ping them back in their own half with lineouts.

This game feels like Gatland's worst nightmare come true. Hope Biggar is okay, awful collision.

for Dan

Good to see Biggar up and running after that

He's been doing it all game by giving 100%. Nobody is following his lead though, just dropping balls and not tackling.

Wales look beatable as does every team in this world cup. Its anyones to win such an open competition this year.

Use the Guardian’s live text coverage!

Very unlike you to suggest the Guardian

Thanks, will give it a go, BBC has been a letdown

17-17

It's slightly moot, but I wonder about Skeen pulling Garces back to a knock-on, when Garces wanted to look at a tackle without the ball. Nigel Owens always used to say that a more serious offence committed after a less serious offence took priority. Will be interesting to see how that comes out in the wash.

Wainwright or Shingler for Davies. Probably Wainwright.

Watkin for Parkes for me too.

Another close one, was it in?

Great play JD

Who would have bet on Adams getting a hattrick after that start? Great play by JD2. Legit try, Garces is desperate to disallow it.

Great try, 3 for Adams

Full control?

Handoff and offload world class from JD

22-17 Wales

Game on a knife edge

Bet you love a good handoff!

Looked a possible knock on on grounding there

Great hand off before though

JD2 off injured, looks like a muscle strain. Watkin on.

Thats what I though too, the TMO didn't watch it in full speed.

Hard old game this, Wales look like they are taking a few casulties

We could do with front row changes as we're struggling there now, Fiji have had a fresh front row for a while.

Great stuff from Fiji......not lying down

If Adams is injured as per the live text, does that mean a scrum half going to the wing? Would not fancy being a 9 having to tackle Radradra or Tuisova!

What a game this is!

Such a good side to watch when attacking Fiji.

Tuisova a beast....he needs more ball

To be fair, Adams has not seemed to keen on tackling them either!

How is that a penalty? he was on his feet when he made the tackle?

indeed. then liam williams dived at a players knee past davies!

Game over...well played Wales

That's the game I should think, Fiji look like they are tiring a bit again

Looked like a shoulder to head tackle missed there, didn't get a number but very close.

Waun Massive

a scrappy try but well taken

tough match that. sore bodies!

Good game if only Fiji had some finishers!

Garces and Tuisova Fiji's best players. AWJ Wales' best player.

Williams got flattened there!

Some of these tackles are monstrous.

Fiji’s discipline letting them down

Mm Graces didn’t miss that one though

I think you are wrong there.

To get a BP out of this, is credit to Wales.

That was straight!

Who is Wales' best player for you then?
