Adams at 13 with Tompkins on the bench is uhhhhh weird.

I love wales fiji games, theyre always good.

Pivac wants to 'look' at Adams as a 13, looking ahead of the WC where you need versatile players. Still an interesting call.

3 7's in the backrow should be intereating as well, very suited to an open game which isn't always the best way to approach a fiji game.

Still, good to see a strong side out there. Always used to hate seeing Gats putting out 15 guys who'd naver played together before and watching them struggling to gel.

Need to see Wales putting some good attacking phases together in this game. They've struggled this Autumn to string many meaningful attacks together without coughing up possession. Needs to start in the forwards with more dynamic carrying, and better ruck retention.

Given how tuisova ran over the top of adams a few times in the World Cup match, defending in the midfield against Fijians will certainly be a test. Interesting to see if radradra plays centre or wing

He's still out injured from the knee injury he got in the Olympics

Wales to win by 5-10 points.

 

[Bluemoon]

Fast back row out there today from Wales will be interesting to see how it fares.

I've never seen Adams as a natural 13 or centre for that matter. He's lethal on the wing and has arguably been one of the most lethal finishers in the world on the wing for a couple of years. Not sure about this call at all.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a try!

Fiji here to play

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Fiji looking good.

I'll be surprised if they can sustain it for 80 tbh

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You broke my boy WGJ, damn you Wales

 

[ForumWhore]

Wales v Fiji games often start like this.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Fiji made a nice start but over time their poor discipline tends to show and structure tends to break down, especially beyond about 60 mins where most T1 teams dominate them.

 

[ForumWhore]

Are forward passes now OK?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a ******* idiot
Completely pointless hit

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

**** sake.

This was gonna be a really good game

 

[TommiG88]

Idiot. Definite red

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cost his country a chance of a win with that

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

And there is the inevitable discipline problem...

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Shame. Think it could have been a yellow but no arguments.
