I watched this match in Camp Bastion NAAFII start of Herrick 7 before deployed to Musa Qallah. On one side we’re the Welsh Royal Marines, opposite them were the Fijians and few English. Good times. RIP Judo Johnno + Damo and all who never made it home.
Then why can't Wales defeat New Zealand? And Wales are a tier 2 nation. Tier one nations England, South Africa & Australia can beat NZ and win World Cups.
@@rainman4578 I mean wales have not lost to Australia in a couple of years, knocked England out their own World Cup and put 40 points on them last time they played in cardiff and also have beaten South Africa on multiple occasions in the last 10 years but keep talking shite mate
rajmohan yadav icc is a terrible organisation, they pretty much killed cricket in my country (netherlands), they have no intention whatsoever to spread the game
@@bokoe7469 bro but chill icc did not kill the game instead they did a right thing by limiting 50 over world cup n expanding t20 wc..ur country is now in the 16 team t20 wc this year in australia..support it.
Chinmai R Hallikar we used to play at the 50 overs world cup a couple of times but now we don’t stand a chance to participate because of the reduced amount of nations that can participate, young cricketers here have nobody (from their own country) to look up to so they quit. obviously icc is not 100% responsible but they did olay a big role. i understand countries like the netherlands or ireland don’t add much to a world cup but it means something to them and sometimes there’s even an upset, it’s like taking italy out of the six nations, italy comes in last every year but removing italy from the tournament would kill italian rugby
I still don't understand why Martyn Williams didn't cut in a bit towards the posts on his intercept try. The chaser was a good 5-10 yards away from him. The missed conversion was so costly.
Cant wait to watch history repeat, I believe this years team will be my country’s best team leading into a world cup, Fiji is gonna surprise a few teams this year, btw Delasau probably Fijis best winger ever!! Toso Viti!!! 🇫🇯
@@makavelimorales3704 and yet their national sides and unions are struggling to keep head above water. Please, leave the grownup talk to the grownups kid.
The most gutsy Flying Fijians team ever. Little money and time together as a team but they were determined to prove they can do it. But the team that played in Japan lacked the aura of determination but full of offfield indiscipline and too much pride in facebook coverage before the WC begin. Only Radradra, Yato and Tuisova were good.
Being a rugby heavyweight, Wales mostly struggle against a minnow side like Fiji ...............34/31,11/10,16/16,21/13,26/17 are close scores of some their encounters. WHY?
To describe Wales as a "Goliath" is absurd. Even in 2007 they were well below the likes of NZ, Australia, South Africa, England. They ceased to be a "rugby powerhouse" way back in the early 1980s. Since then they have been a second tier team, like Scotland.
@@vajiradushmantha2428 useless??? FYI Fiji Have drawn with the All Blacks, beaten the British & Irish Lions, have beaten Australia and there have been talks to get Fiji and Japan added to the rugby Championship (better competition then the 6 nations). I think it's your national team that is useless in 15s Rugby,
Fiji hadn’t been that convincing before this game. They struggled against Japan back when Japan was a weak team, they struggled against Canada and were thrashed by Australia. Few people were expecting this win.
Rip to the Fijian players playing in this match creating history who are not with us today 🇫🇯❤

Continue to Bless the Fijian team to have strong body & spirit. They are my No.1 rugby team 😇🙏very very strong boys🤩🤗
Well done fiji.
Very well played.
From a very proud welshman
HATS OFF TO WALES FROM FIJI.
I FAN WALES , I JUST DONT KNOW WHY ALL WORLD CUPS WE GROUOED TOGETHER. WALES HAS GOT ABILITY TO WIN THE CUP
Wales has the ability to beat any tier 1 nation or lose to any tier 2. Truly amazing
@@Jordan-mq4wj 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just leaving this after that match against Italy lol

2024, Now I'm leaving this later after their match with Fiji in Cardiff 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fiji honestly looked like they were gonna beat Wales again in the RWC last year. Too bad they couldnt finish it off.
They now have to learn how to play like a full 80-minute team without flopping in the last 20-30 minutes of any game.
Don’t tell squidge
If this were the Cricket world cup, then Fiji would have been barred from the next World cup for upsetting the order of established teams

@@bokoe7469 Yep, Rugby tried to go beyond the Commonwealth group.....while ICC has even shrunk the game within the commonwealth group

OpiumToday hello to the only other Dutch person here lol
Back when Caucaunibuca and Bobo should've been on the wings and Delasau could've been used as a full back, lineup would've been devastating

you surprised our lot, 30-22 to be fair. From an English guy.
I remember this game wen I was in class 7 I still remember now wen its held the same day time flies so fast
World Rugby, instead of trying to shove women's rugby down our throats why spend the resources and energy in helping the Polynesian countries?
The Polynesian (Pacific Islanders) are all over the World being professional rugby players. Facts! So SHUT your mouth!

Or both maybe? Jesus.
I just ran into Delasau in a nondescript gym in Ba, fiji. This game is the first game I bought up.

Yato's a beast
At least the team of local boys with a few overseas players that recently played and beat the baabaas showed that other team how its done.
12 dislikes by 12 Welshman
Plus another 2🤣🤣🤣
expecting a repeat of this next year
Hopefully fiji makes it far this world cup
Why Martyn Williams never put the try directly under the posts 3:45 I will never know.
Because Fiji #22 would’ve shoulder charged him into the crowd
What a match
Stepping the ball

You can say struggle, but we still win. A lot of games Wales win, its never a convincing win, yet we still win.
@@emyrh9140 WITH THE HELP OF THE REFREES WHO ARE ALWAYS AGAINST ISLAND TEAMS, FOR WHAT REASON, NOBODY KNOWS!!!!!!
So you’re saying that we only win because the ref helps us, and that’s the same reason Ireland have had a bad year?

Seriously? Winning Grand Slam in 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2019 mean they are a second tier? Then I wonder what England is
Wales, Goliath? Lol
Hahahahaha
Fiji is only good at sevens only. Their 15 side is useless. So yes, in 15s Fiji is David.
Vajira Dushmantha their 15's aren’t useless
@@DJ-ce3hq but its still considered as one of the weaker teams

Hi you have a nice 2020
awesome~!!!
David beat Ggolaith in 2019 too but then fiji was goliath and uraguay was david
😂🤣😂
Dont remind us
The biggest disappointment in Fiji Rugby.
vive la France
when david beat goliath? don't you mean...
when goliath beat goliath?
2023.repeat
Wat a game
What a match Fiji get out to big lead wales comeback Fiji Win it at the death
Surely Wales is the David and not the Goliath...Those Fiji boys are the giant ones haha
Qera is my uncle
Thought Wales were the underdogs

When Goliath beat daffyd
For the second try for Wales, the last pass for Shaun Williams is clearly forward....... No try !
Gi
At least 2 Fijian players off side in that last move.
Keeping crying
Lol I'm just glad we got knocked out by Australia in 2015 not a minnow like Fiji or Samoa.
