Wales take on Fiji in their third Autumn Nations Series match in Cardiff on Sunday.
Wayne Pivac's men are determined to build some confidence after back-to-back losses to New Zealand and South Africa, with momentum needed ahead of the exciting match-up against Australia next weekend.
There is genuine intrigue surrounding Christ Tshiunza, with Wales thrilled to get the 19-year-old Exeter forward involved, with his stature set at 6ft 6in and 17st 8 lbs, enabling him to become an option at second-row and back-row.
But Fiji will be no pushovers, with Wales once stung by Fiji in a 2007 World Cup upset in Nantes, and another stunner was on the cards for a short while, before Wales stormed back from a 10-0 deficit. Fiji can bring the wildcard factor and have that explosive sevens-style of exhilarating rugby in their DNA to also thrill the neutrals.
Pivac will be determined to address worrying signs surrounding his scrum, admitting ahead of the game: “There is work to be done on our side. We’ve come in undercooked.”
