Wales 19-24 Fiji

Wales v Fiji Match Reports

Fiji celebrated a famous 24-19 victory over Wales in Cardiff, consigning their hosts to a 10th successive Test defeat. Blair Murray had opened the scoring when he sped across the line in the 8th minute to touch down on his Wales debut. A disjointed passage of play followed in which Wales first lost Tommy Reffell to the sin-bin; Fiji then lost Elia Canakaivata and Semi Radradra to the sin-bin. Wales emerged from the period with a penalty try, whilst Fiji saw Radradra's yellow card upgraded to a 20-minute red card. Caleb Muntz scored Fiji's first try to narrow the score to 14-10 at half-time. The visitors took the lead early in the second half when Muntz slotted two further penalty kicks. Josua Tuisova then powered over the line on the hour mark to extend Fiji's lead. Ellis Bevan scored a try in the 66th minute to give Wales hope, but the conversion was missed and the home side still trailed by 2-points. Muntz kicked a fourth penalty to notch Fiji into a 5-point lead with only five minutes remaining. The Flying Fijians held firm and recorded a first-ever victory over Wales in Cardiff.
