00:05 gowth what a treat we've had this evening and it started brilliantly for
00:08 Wales with Josh Adams scoring yeah we knew it was evenly matched it was about
00:12 teams taking their opportunities bringing the emotion and both sides
00:16 brought it Wales just finding some defensive holes early on in that first
00:19 half especially the first five minutes they went up 8-0
00:24 a back road Fiji by saying that the label doing what he does best how about
00:30 that for power and brawn it was a bit of a precursor Fiji could score from
00:34 anywhere from anything and they had so much talent the offloads just so many
00:43 problems with the defense and so many players to offload to this time tiny
00:47 tiny Baloo just big men in open field it's very scary if you're a Welshman
00:54 fabulous interplay between Maevil Leopo and Rondan Amdra
00:58 but George North anything Weiss can do gorgeous George can match the chunkiest
01:05 thighs in the principality slicing through the Fijian defense and the
01:10 Welsh weren't afraid to rely on their veterans Dan Bigger had an outstanding
01:13 game master card player of the match and then how about the skipper using the
01:17 kick not perfect but good enough because Rhys Zemmert's on it and he's in the
01:21 corner and that's what it looked like this thing might be over we might be
