Wales survive Fiji scare to book quarter-final place
Rugby World Cup 2019
Pool D
Wales 29-17 Fiji
Wales were left battered and bruised but qualified for the quarter-finals after twice coming from behind against Fiji for a victory that left some question marks over their World Cup credentials.
Winger Josh Adams scored a hat-trick of tries in a rollercoaster Pool D game at Oita Stadium that also featured four yellow cards and four disallowed tries – three of them to Fiji, whose tournament is over.
Wales had to equal their best RWC comeback after trailing by 10 points early on – just as they did in beating England in 2015 – and also fell behind in the second half. But two late tries in a pulsating contest sealed the win with a bonus point.
