Ben Thomas launches the first kick of the game. First big carry from Max Llewellyn.
Ascom sends it wide, little tip on, lovely from Thomas and here come the Welsh and Blair Murray
screaming towards the line. Excellent, the timing of running, the timing of the pass.
How efficient is that from Llewellyn. This here for me, Ben Thomas, just how soft his hands are
just to lift it into the pace, to create that extra player. They kind of vary to the 10 meter
line. Mandranda again seems to be orchestrating an awful lot for a man wearing 11 on his back.
That's what we've come to know and love from him. They're playing with an advantage here, Fiji.
Caleb Muntz, head down, drives through the ball and notches Fiji's first points.
No penalties, they're giving away attacking opportunities for Wales like this.
Up goes Beard and the transfer is good and Wales are driving onwards yet again through Llewellyn.
Dangerous clean out, he touched the head, head contact, full play, it's the yellow card ratio.
That will be permanent. So up goes Beard in the meantime, disruption in Welsh ranks,
playing with 14. Brady removed from the field of play but they are bearing down on the try
line and this is looking good. It's looking good for Lake, not a question. At the moment,
Wales are in such a good position here. Now have a look at number eight, just gets under the ball.
From an offside position.
You are from the side, you tackle the player in the mall, you prevent to score a try,
it's a yellow card and you're allowed to try. Seven points banked for the Welsh and Fiji reduced
to 14. Hello the archers. Gwynedd, Randrendra's on to him and he's flattened in. Yeah, it's a
dangerous tackle because you're upright and you touch the head, so it's a yellow card threshold.
And that review could be very interesting also.
Munts to the line, lots of red shirts everywhere but he's found a hole.
Caleb Munts was stepping and great acceleration, now the power, he's got all the way.
We're not reviewing yellow cards, the game's actually quite decent.
Munts, what a break, steps inside a couple of times and then he just backs his pace.
Big left arm and then uses the grease on the surface to get his way over. This is the point
where he knows it's a foot race. Big left arm and he manages just to get the ball down there.
That's your try and that is your response. The yellow card against number 11 will be upgraded.
It's a high degree of danger and no mitigation, okay.
Semi-Randrendra has his yellow upgraded to red.
And a penalty advantage, a full-blown penalty. Just enough curl on it for a Munts, he's having
a very influential match. Romani to Munts, again through the game line, Fiji on the front foot
and rewarded with the penalty.
Fiji in front, driven to the ground, desperate defending from those in red.
These are the moments right here. Romani, potentially a bit of width, Tuasova, slips past one,
slips past two. This is great, they got the ball in the 22. Blair Murray vitally misses that tackle
but one-on-one Joshua Tuasova, he is so, so difficult. Bundled backwards, good drive from Morgan.
Excellent leg drive, stayed in the fight, punched his way through contact. Costello now, oh, did so
well to get out of the way. Winnett makes space at Bevan. And then getting the ball into the hands
of the people who can occupy it the best. That's the exact type of response that this crowd needed,
that this nation, this team needed. Been really nervy up until this point. Massive kick now from
Sam Costello. Just across the face, Wales remain two points shy now but they're back in the hunt.
But it forces the pressure, he's been massive this second half for Fiji.
Too late, no, no, no, he's not on the 50.
Muntz taking Fiji ever closer to a first win in Cardiff. Began the scoring for the Welsh,
Plumtree has to keep it tight. Elias, it's gone forwards, Fiji have it and they still want to
attack. Clock in the reds, the game is done, not for Fiji. Hold on to the ball here and it's all
over. Curravoli, into touch, game over. A Fijian win, a historic first in Cardiff
and a result that plunges Welsh rugby into fresh debts.
