Team News

Wales need a win against Fiji on Sunday in Bordeaux to get their Rugby World Cup campaign off to a good start. They have been boosted by the return of Taulupe Faletau, who missed the warm-up matches with a calf injury. However, Fiji will be a tough challenge, even without their star fly-half Caleb Muntz, who has been ruled out with a knee injury.

Fiji are a team with a lot of individual talent and they have been playing with more structure in recent years. They will be looking to build on their impressive win over England last month. Wales will need to be at their best to come away with a win.

Gatland’s side have made a few changes to their starting lineup, with Jac Morgan captaining the team in the absence of Dewi Lake. Gareth Davies starts at scrum-half ahead of Tomos Williams.

“Fiji are a good side with some great individual athletes,” said Gatland. “They play with a lot more structure now than maybe they have done traditionally. We’ve had some good clarity about what we want to achieve and the way we want to play on the weekend. It’s going to be an exciting contest on Sunday and one that we are relishing.”

The injury to Muntz has opened up the opportunity for Teti Tela to start at fly-half for Fiji. Tela also plays for the Fijian Drua, so he should be familiar with the other players in the team. Elsewhere, coach Simon Rawalui has named an impressive starting lineup, headlined by European-based stars Albert Tuisue, Viliame Mata, Vinaya Habosi and Semi Radradra.

This is a match that could go either way. Wales are the favorites, but Fiji are a dangerous side who are capable of causing an upset. It promises to be a thrilling contest that will be worth watching.
