Wales opened their Nations Championship campaign with a dominant 39-24 victory over Fiji at Cardiff City Stadium, marking their first back-to-back international wins since 2021. The Welsh side scored six tries in the match, a feat not achieved in a Test against Fiji for five years.
Flanker Jac Morgan was instrumental in the win, scoring two tries and delivering a strong defensive performance to earn player-of-the-match honors. Despite a spirited effort from Fiji, who managed to keep pace at halftime with a 10-10 scoreline, Wales asserted control in the second half. Tries from Rhys Carre, Josh Adams, Ryan Elias, and Eddie James sealed the victory.
Fiji's points came from tries by Pita Gus Sowakula, Elia Canakaivata, and Selestino Ravutaumada, along with nine points from fly-half Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula's boot. Fiji's attacking statistics were strong, but Wales' set-piece superiority, particularly through driving mauls, proved decisive, contributing to three of their six tries.
The attendance of 16,456 was noted as disappointing for an international fixture at the football stadium. Wales' next fixtures will see them travel to face Argentina and South Africa. Fiji is scheduled to play England in Liverpool and Scotland at Murrayfield.
