Fiji! 25-28 in #WALvFIJ after 80 minutes of pure madness, including the very last act. Wales came close to taking it, but just couldn't. Brilliant to watch! #RWC2025

That ridiculous pass into touch was kind of a fitting end to the game. GG Fiji

#WALvFIJ #rwc2025 #rugby

#WALvFIJ is wonderful and exciting chaos. Every play has three potential to go in a variety of ways and the players are full of passion. I am here for it, and I won't lie, I'm up for Fiji! #RWC2025

No try because of a forward pass, but Tuisova's hand off of Tomos Williams will live in the scrum halfs mind for a long time to come.

Fiji end up getting 3 for a penalty, but I believe they could have got the full 7 if they gave it another go.

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

Hmm, maybe not, it's taken nearly an hour, but Wales are finally able to get a good second try. Crucial conversion fails so no draw, but only 2pts in it.

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

Well, that Fiji try was a breath of fresh air (they usually are), in a game which has little to commend itself. I think they have another one in them, but they have traditionally faltered in the final 20m. Fiji might get a 10+ pt win today

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

Fiji get a penalty try, so in the 20 minuteperiod where Wales had the man advantage they have conceded 14 points. Go home Wales, you're drunk.

Edit: Oh right, of course Fiji has obstruction, so that 7 points go back in the bin. JFC this game

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

For all the interesting running in those 19 phases, all I could think was "what if Fiji knew they could kick the ball". Sure they got the penalty, but there was basically no ground gained.

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

Wales immediately throw it away with an obstruction penalty in their maul, which leads to a Fiji try.

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

Yellow number 3, so fiji down 2. I'm not saying the ref is wrong, but this game is hardly worth watching at this point.

Edit: I'm not sure why this was a high degree but the wales one wasn't, I'd need to see the replay.
Edit 2: Oh yeah, clear red

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

Didn't notice that Fiji 8 came offside, so penalty try and yellow to Fiji. That's 14 players a piece. Yare yare

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

What looked like a decent try turns into a yellow card for Wales. This game sure looks to continue the drama of yesterday / last week

#rugby #WALvFIJ #AutumnNationsSeries

Didn't see France v Japan yesterday, but back in front of the TV for Wales v Fiji. Great tournament for debut tries, with another today by Blair Murray. We'll see if Fiji can go the full 80 and if Wales is starting to click.

An unintended consequence of Melon Usk buying Twitter that I found annoying is that I lost the place and all desire to post updates to the excellent (if aging me 30 years) #WALvFIJ match.

Conclusion: ref seemed a little biased towards Wales, but looking at the number of handling errors & missed tackles from Fiji, they were lucky to be close as they were. Still a very exciting team and cheering them against the Aussies

Final result:
Beard 32, beards 26

@upbristol I could be totally wrong, but the ref always seemed to give Wales one more chance to infringe. #WALvFIJ #RWC2023 #RugbyWorldCup #Rugby

Credit to Gareth Thomas for acknowleding the poor officiating, there. Still, if Fiji had held on to the ball throughout, they'd've won

It's only when I'm watching Wales that I notice how dusty it is behind our sofa 😱

I don’t think I can even wrap my brain around any more #rugby today, after that absolutely amazing #WALvFIJ match. I guess it’s Xbox time, then I’ll catch up on the earlier matches I missed later this week! #RWC2023

And I might suggest Fiji could feel hard done by the referee. #WALvFIJ #RWC2023 #RugbyWorldCup #Rugby

Oh, that was the world's most heartbreaking fumble at the finish. Fiji will definitely fight another day, and Wales can know they fought for every point. #WALvFIJ #RWC

Absolutely gutted for Fiji. 9 times out of 10 Semi would have gathered that ball in. Carley was a bit of a joke, some outrageous decisions made that didn't help Fiji's cause #WALvFIJ #RWC2023

That was so tense. Wales better than I expected, Fiji very unlucky at the end #rwc2023 #WALvFIJ

1,086 meters. Mind boggling. #rugby #WALvFIJ #RWC2023

@LeGone I think Dupont fell in as a baby

I'm really looking forward to the opener! The rest of the weekend looks very promising too. #IREVROM isn't going to be very exciting, but #ENGvARG, #RSAvSCO & #WALvFIJ are all going to be serious battles.

#Samoa surprised me (and Ireland) during the warm-ups. With Leinsterman Ala'alatoa as captain, they are definitely my Pool D team.
