Fiji Defeats Wales 24-19 in Cardiff

Fiji achieved a historic 24-19 victory over Wales, marking the Welsh team's record-equalling 10th consecutive defeat. Despite being reduced to 14 players after winger Semi Radradra received a red card, Fiji rallied with standout performances, particularly from fly-half Caleb Muntz, who scored 19 points, including a crucial solo try. Wales initially led 14-3 but struggled to maintain their advantage, with missed opportunities and a lack of discipline contributing to their downfall. The defeat ties Wales' current losing streak with one from 2002 and 2003, raising concerns ahead of upcoming matches against formidable opponents like Australia and South Africa. Captain Dewi Lake expressed disappointment, citing missed chances and poor execution in critical moments as key factors in their loss. Fiji's triumph not only ended their long wait for a win against Wales in Cardiff but also highlighted their resilience and tactical prowess despite the odds.
