Wales v Fiji: Hosts aim to set down World Cup 2023 marker

Wales v Fiji: Hosts aim to set down World Cup 2023 marker

By Naveel Krishant

Wales defence coach Gethin Jenkins hopes Wales will make a point against Fiji ahead of the 2023 World Cup when the sides meet in Cardiff on Monday morning.

The two teams are again in the same pool in France and Monday is the last time they are scheduled to meet before the tournament starts.

History heavily favours Wales when it comes to facing Fiji, toppling them 10 times in 12 attempts.

But their last meeting at the 2019 World Cup in Japan, Fiji frequently stressed Wales before they wiped out a 10-point deficit as Josh Adams scored three tries and inspired a 29-17 victory.

Jenkins says he does not think Fiji are going to change much in the way they are going to play.

Fiji will play Wales at 3.15am Monday.
