Captain's run training session ahead of Fiji game

Wales v Fiji team news

It's a largely unchanged side from the line-ups that beat Georgia and Australia.

There are two changes , however, with Ross Moriarty coming in to replace Aaron Wainwright, who drops to the bench, and James Davies coming in to replace Justin Tipuric in the back row.

The only change on the bench sees Rhys Carre replacing Nicky Smith at loose-head prop.

Dan Biggar is also back in the team after returning to training just before the weekend following a failed head injury assessment during the Australia game.

Fiji's coach John McKee has made just one change from the team that beat Georgia with Viliame Mata coming in to replace Peceli Yato at No8.

They'll be looking to cause another upset and are hoping to finish the group stages on a high in their likely last match of the tournament.
