"Wales have one foot in the quarter-final door of the Rugby World Cup but only after they were forced to endure a gutsy 80-minute test from Fiji. Warren Gatland's men seemed to be on their way to a bonus-point win at 17-6 up at the break following first-half tries from Gareth Davies and Scott Baldwin, but they were sucked in to playing a free-flowing off-the-cuff style of game which suited the Pacific Islanders to a tee for much of the second half. Turnover ball was kicked, passes were pushed and when Vereniki Goneva finished off a long-range counter for Fiji, the result was very much up for grabs. But Wales were able to steady through two Dan Biggar penalties and while the Fijians kept coming, their mistakes and repeated breakdown infringements allowed Gatland's side to hold on for the win. They will now await the result of Saturday night's clash between Australia and England to find out exactly what they have to do at Twickenham next weekend."
