Wales will hope to bounce back from a tricky period with a moral-boosting display against Fiji this weekend following two hard defeats.

The Welsh were destroyed 54-16 by New Zealand in their opening Autumn Internationals clash this year, before falling to a narrow 23-18 defeat to world champions South Africa in their last outing.

Wayne Pivac's men are adjusting to life without the talismanic Alun Wyn Jones who will be sidelined for months after picking up a shoulder injury against the All-Blacks.

The 2021 Six Nations champions now take on Fiji before rounding off the Autumn Internationals with another big test against Australia.

Fiji have played very little rugby throughout the COVID era. They only played once in 2020 after forfeiting three Autumn Nations Cup matches due to an outbreak among their squad. They have been thrashed twice by New Zealand but defeated Spain so far in 2021.

Wales v Fiji prediction

By Nigel Owens, former Rugby World Cup final referee

It was a much improved performance against the world champions which you know, a little bit more luck, we could have ended up with a win. This game on Sunday is hugely important because it would give us a bit of momentum and confidence going into Australia the week after but Fiji can beat anybody on their day.

[Wales] were definitely improved last week but their kicking game was a bit disappointing, so I'm sure that's something they'll work on going into this week because if they don't get the kicking game right against Fiji, if they kick poorly, they're going to get punished.

I think we could sneak it on Sunday if they continue from where they left last week. They need to play a controlled game but score tries as well. Obviously, we don't want to play too loose and give Fiji an opportunity to play to their strength. It's going to be a very tactical, interesting game to watch on Sunday. I do fancy we will do it, about 28-22.
