In a match that had it all. Wales and Fiji met in their opening RWC 2023 Pool C match in Bordeaux. A tense final 10 minutes saw Fiji trail by 18 points, but they dug deep and put the pressure on Wales, creating a Rugby World Cup match for the ages.

this is rugby…not some pre-game dance!
After being tackled with the ball short of the try line, I believe the player shouldn't be able to advance the ball until he is standing.
Lebron James missed the buzzer beater
Fuji throw it away at the end, well done Whales!
Fiji was robbed. Deal to the ref maaate!
What a game.
It had the rugby world on it toes.
Congratulations Wales. It could have been Fiji's game but you defended very well.
Bougainville- Papua New Guinea.
Mighty Fijians always winning the hearts of people โค love from ๐ฑ๐ฐ
Wow a 10 minute highlight that lasts 17 minutes…
Truly amazing.
Hard when you have to play the referee as well as Wales . Horrendous inconsistency and multiple wrong decisions for both sides. Its time the managerial staff did speak out rather than say: " the run of the green against us:" The Fiji post match interview is telling, polite and interesting
Fiji got robbedโฆdaylight robbery
Good try Fiji. Best of luck in the next game.
HEARTBREAK
What a fking croc of steaming limey bullshit. In any other part of the rugby globe ๐ that be a fking try. Double movements are only really called if the player hits the ground flat, and moves another part of their body to affect a try.
Fiji got sould by the ref. Sadly this changed the whole game. Hope fiji will still get at least 2nd in the group. Lets go fiji
Such an imbalance in refereeing calls. Wales should have had two more in the bin

Fiji I love you!
Shameful game, referee was very biased
Radradra must be devastated
Would have been a lot closer or opposite if the referee had better eyesight ..lots of errors made on his part mostly against Fiji
Double movement rule is pathetic. If ya can get over and you can't stop em so be it.
your timeline picture made me think Jaylen Brown changed sports.
Great sportsmanship all round..great commentary too
Poor refereeing. Ref was the weakest on the field. He missed a lot.
C'est cruel pour cette magnifique รฉquipe !!

I have no idea what's happening there. Looks entertaining though.
I am from PNG, seeing Fiji plays is always about God. Yes they do every time they play..They are powerful strong. Go Fiji all the way from PNG
Wow! Fiji are an astonishing team!
Commentary 10/10. I hope this is the fire FIJI needs to win the world cup. Good luck my brothers
Massive!!
The English ref should have been wearing a Welsh jersey.
Disgraceful to give the Welsh a home ref.
๐๐๐
why the umpire gave fiji another penalty after first scrum? anyone ๐
I have no idea whats going on but its kinda exciting ๐
Nobody deserved to lose this epic game. What sportsmanship and generosity in victory from the Welsh. Part of what makes rugby so great!
Monster game, super fine margins. Well played Fiji you done your country proud.
What a game!
Well done Wales, to beat these monkees!
Poor referring very sad.
Wales lost my support when they started to waste time. The French wouldn't accept 32 points, they would go for 40, or 50. Wales knew they did not have the stamina for an equal battle. That's not the way the Welsh get taught to play.
The Refs might as well put on Wales Jerseys and play on their side officially!
Fiji was robbed blind sadly. I hope they fly high and this injustice never happens to them again.
