But it speaks volumes for the quality Wales possess to have players of Patchell’s quality on the bench alongside the likes of Wainwright, Tomos Williams and Aaron Shingler. Whitelock bagged a try himself, didn’t panic when New Zealand were clawed back in the first half and contributed well with the ball in hand. Fiji were electric at times, with Semi Radradra at his elusive best, but Wales managed to hold off the waves of attackers in white in the second half to book their place in the quarter-finals. Athletes young and old are using CBD and claiming relief from everything from pain to stress to anxiety. Scored a try himself and delivered the quick ball that the Pacific Islanders crave to play their unique brand of rugby. With Biggar’s conversions they were leading 14-10. Scored a try himself but it was the in which he created Anton Lienert-Brown’s score that really stood out, combining power, vision, passing ability and athletic determination to send the centre over. In the space of 12 years, Welsh rugby has grown up. First Navidi was sent over the line by a George North pass but the try was ruled out by the TMO for an earlier Hadleigh Parkes knock-on. Yellow card: Cavubati 16min, Kunatani 29min. Fiji wins – 1. Pen: Patchell. Finally, don’t forget to follow Rugby World on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. How do you stop him? Jonathan Davies powered through the Fiji defensive line and somehow offloaded in a tackle close to the line to find Adams. Then Wales showed some flair of their own.

We’ve not achieved that, which is disappointing, but having said that the World Cup is a competitive environment and it’s very difficult to get out of the pool phase for any team. Often, when facing them as a high school kid, the results weren't pretty. Gatland’s era, overseen by influential defence coach Shaun Edwards and medical director Prav Mathema, has seen a professional regime established which empowers players while eradicating a drinking culture which had seen Wales lag badly behind their rivals following the onset of professionalism in 1995. Wales managed to take a little more control of the game and when Tevita Cavubati was yellow-carded for a shoulder charge at a ruck, they scored a try from the resulting penalty.

Fiji coach John McKee has said as much in the build-up to Wednesday’s Pool D encounter. The uniquely-named lock led Japan’s defensive charge against Samoa and was dominant in the aerial battle with a 100 per cent lineout effort alongside James Moore, which was made all the more impressive as he didn’t start either of their opening matches.

They used their one-man advantage to put on pressure up front by opting for scrums from a series of penalties and not long after Cavubati had returned, Semi Kunatani was sent to take his place in the sin-bin for an offside offence.
