Wales barely holds off Fiji to win in another classic Rugby World Cup meeting
Associated PressBORDEAUX, France — The tryline was right there in front of Semi Radradra. Alas, the center spilled the ball, Wales players heaved a huge sigh of relief and they celebrated a breathless 32-26 win in the latest instalment of the teams’ gripping World Cup rivalry on Sunday. Fiji came strong at the end, but I’m really thrilled for this group of players that we managed to see it through.” This was the fifth straight World Cup where these two teams have met in the pool stage and Fiji’s only win remains that epic 38-34 in Nantes in 2007, the last time the tournament was staged in France. They get a sniff of something and they want to come back in.” Biggar’s penalty and Adams’ seventh-minute try gave Wales a lead that soon disappeared, only for George North to sidestep his way through the center of Fiji’s defense to score between the posts and give his team an 18-14 halftime lead. The sin-binnings eventually came and so did the late drama that almost resulted in a famous win for Fiji, which will rue prop Eroni Mawi knocking on when attempting to ground over the line late in the first half and then the match officials ruling out Peni Ravai’s 77th-minute try for an adjudged double movement.
