Wales v Fiji LIVE: Warren Gatland's men bid to make winning start to Rugby World Cup in Bordeaux

Is this the try of the World Cup so far? Strong case to argue the case when you study the delivery out wide with boot. Who needs hands? Delivered On. A. Plate.

The reigning world champions got off to a winning start in defence of their Rugby World Cup title with an 18-3 victory over a determined Scotland side. A tight and physical first half was narrowly edged by the Springboks who stepped things up in the second period to ultimately secure a convincing win in Marseille. Read more here:

“Playing in a top-quality competition (Super Rugby) week in, week out, a lot of their players are either in France or the UK, that gives them the quality to be playing at that top level on a regular basis. That’s definitely strengthened their side," says the Wales coach.

“For me, what’s brilliant about this World Cup is we’ve seen the development of these Tier 2 nations. In the past, we’ve seen Japan perform. But Fiji, Samoa and Tonga all look capable of causing upsets. As they have done in the past. I think that’s brilliant for rugby and for the game moving forward."

Should be a fascinating few hours ahead as Warren Gatland's Wales chase a tournament opening victory against Fiji, the country who famously eliminated them from the 2007 World Cup at the pool stage. The Welsh will be desperate to avoid a repeat shock result this evening in Pool C against a side who are coming off a historic 30-22 victory against England at Twickenham last month. An 8pm kick-off for this one.
