Wales v Fiji - Can Fiji win?.... no... boring welsh team grind it out....

It is my opinion if fiji come out and play with flair and physicality they could more than catch this welsh team off guard.

For me of the favoured NH teams (eng, ire, wal) the welsh are still the easy beats...

Fiji have got nothing to lose as their loss to uruguay has sealed their fate... but would be fantastic for the tournament for wales to go down to them in tonight's last game.

If wales lose then means Wallabies would join other side of the draw and likely make for a eng v wal QF with winner to take on (hopefully winner of ire v nz - if the sneeky japanee can beat the scotch).

Go fiji - give the ball the radradra... he is yet another small sample of the product / standard of player in the NRL (rugby league in oz).

think they can... but probability is reasonably low... 80mins is a long time for fijians to keep it together...

This is about to start...

Fiji long shots but GOOOOOOO FIJI!!!

Go Semi !!

Fiji haka go boys !

first few line breaks from the flying fijians... these boys are excitement machines

3mins in...

Fiji might just be on the board, storming run by 14.

Yep, 5-0 Fiji. Wales 11 is in for a long day if he's going to put in powderpuff tackles like that.

And Wales strike back off a Fiji error.

Wales knock, no try.

Fiji over again, only a possible forward pass can save Wales. Ruled forward, no try.

Wales gets a yellow for a dangerous tackle.

wales down to 14 for 10mins - lucky not to be whole game...

Fiji score again...!!

Saffex... what were you saying above??!!

12 nil after 10

Wales 11 again can't make a secure tackle. Think Fiji will run at him all day. Conversion missed, 10-0.

Josh Adams having a nightmare so far. He's just knocked on after missing tackles that led to both tries.

Adams now drops the ball. Not a happy game for the Wales wing so far.

Here we go again with a shoulder charge in a ruck. Only yellow.

I have to think that rugby players aren't the smartest blokes around. Just yesterday Canada got a red for the same thing and here the Fijian thinks it's a good idea to go for it. They're lucky.

Wales in! Adams grabs the cross kick, that will do him a world of good. That Fiji yellow may well be the turning point that allows Wales back in.

5-10 the get square ref yellow card... soft - poor fiji

10-7 Fiji.

Lazy attempted pickup from Fiji 10 almost got them in trouble. Looks like Islanders' intensity is slipping already.

Haha, tough TMO call to make on what is possibly Adams' second try.

No try. Fair enough probably.

Another yellow for Fiji .

The Fiji wall breaks eventually as Adams now gets his second. 14-10 Wales.

14-10 wales can kcik is the difference

and 2 cards... both a bit suss

Wales card...not suss at all

A quick offload from 11 to 15 and Fiji might have been in there. They get over now off another forward pass it seems.

Jeez Wales 8 has got some pace on him. Great breakout, Wales knock though and Fiji can kick it back.

14-10 half time, good game. Fiji still very much in it if they can keep 15 men on the field.

14-10 half time

fiji 2 soft yellows

wales 1 yellow could have been red

fiji missed 2 conversions

Well Red...your question appears not so dumb...yes ofcourse, the way the Fijians can turn up they can surprise virtually any team. Marvelous athletes...love the way they play...go Fiji.

seems again I'm not the only one that thinks TMO got it wrong... re cards..

all fox commentary team including the pom stuart barnes all think Wales hooker should have got red card ... 

anyway looking forward to 2nd half... cmon fiji show the flair..!!!

These forward passes are damn hard to call. Momentum can become a very subjective factor.

Yellow for Wales. This could be fu n.
