What channel is Wales v Fiji Rugby World Cup 2023 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Wales v Fiji in a Rugby World Cup 2023 match, including TV details and more.
The words 'Fiji in France' linger in the nightmares of Welsh supporters. The last World Cup across the Channel saw the Fijians knock Wales out at the group stage in 2007.
They’ve faced each other at every World Cup since then, with Wales emerging victorious each time. But with the Pacific nation having recently beaten England for the first time, another upset could be on the way.
What Wales lost under Wayne Pivac, which Warren Gatland had instilled in his 12-year tenure, was their unwavering fitness and effort in defence.
While often outmatched in terms of talent, the red wall was rarely breached easily. Gatland has entrusted a new generation with reconstructing that. The likes of Jac Morgan, Dewi Lake and Christ Tshiunza can further prove their essentialness to the side.
The Fijians have always brought dazzling and skilful offence to the table, but under Simon Raiwalui, their set-piece play has improved vastly in a short time.
They will smell blood in the water against a Welsh side still trying to find themselves. Another 'Tier 1' scalp, and it’ll be hard to deny that Fiji deserve to swim with the big sharks.
