Fiji 38, Wales 34 - Daily Mail

Possesion is nine tenth of the act. Giving light possessions to your enemies means you won't be a winner. They are simple aspects of Rugby that are played in schoolchildren who are studying the sport for the first of all. But on Saturday, Wales dramatically missed stamping every kind of Fiji island power, returning home from the World Cup - embarrassing without making the knockout stage.

This may have been the case many months ago, but it was only a question of getting a big kick out of playing football until one of the so-called small nationalities. However, when you watch the match, it doesn't seem so angry.

It has a shimmering set of abilities behind the scratch. Two years ago they won the Grand Slam in a dynamical way and had a certain momentum at that age. It is not the first year, however, that Welsh has been suffering under the auspices of a small country on the international scene.

Fiji, it has to be said, was the better side and earned the praise that a less than biased mass gave them at the end game. They were not good enough and the fundamental truths at the last whistle was that they knew. As the Pacific nations celebrate to the rapturous cheers of over 37,000 spectators and now play South Africa in Pool B, Wales will only go home with their tail between their heels.

It was Fiji - after having salute their enemies - who took a round of honor and showed how much this victory means to them. All the more likely because their third attempt lasted 24 mins. Mater had a seemedingly easy shot at scoring more points as half of the team came to an end, but his punishment was far from the Mark after Jones was beaten with a Polish axe by a Qera kneel who was in debt for 10 mins.

If Wales turns on a bit of a touch of style, they can be a concern for any defense in the match, and this fact was emphasised four moments after the interval when Shane Williams' dancin' legs saw him walking 60 yards, passing four would-be tackers and diving for the tournament's attempt so far.

Jones again struck the post, but it seemed as if Wales began to find their belts and would soon loosely slice to ensure sure passage to the knocking out stadiums. With Qera back on the peloton three mikes later, Mark Jones was put into a void after a fabulous line out trick that put the Fijians in six and seven.

Fiji took the scoring again 20 goals after 20 mins. Few added the extra costs that made sure Wales needed a try if they were to move forward.
