Fiji still a threat


On the back of two very strong performances (but losses I know) against 2 of the top 3 sides in the world, Wales know that defeat to Fiji will be unforgivable.
Back in the WC 2007 Fiji pipped us to the post with a 38-34 win and ended our cup run, but it's not all bad as it gave myself the enourmous satisfaction of seeing Gareth Jenkins collect his P45. (if memory serves he didn't even fly home with the team!)
Adam Jones played in that match in Nantes and is stressing the need to play the Welsh way and not a freestyle 7's style brand of rugby. If Wales cannot stop their running rugby then we have a problem.
It's a shame the Dynamic Welsh pack has been remodelled or, I'd say lets really give it to 'em in the scrum and tie up their forwards and give Rees a good platform and then we can really see what Dan Biggar is made of.

Only a vintage performance AND win will do.

George North to score 3 and Jonathan Thomas to play a blinder!

C'mon Wales!
