This disappointment comes at a crucial time, as the Welsh team is set to face the Wallabies and the Rugby World Cup champions, South Africa, soon. Gatland expressed his frustration over not securing a vital victory, saying, “Hopefully it’ll be next week, but it was supposed to be today.”

In the post-match analysis, he mentioned that the team experienced some misfortunes with key calls that went against them. “We are frustrated because it was definitely a game we aimed to win,” he noted, admitting that they fell short of their goal.

Gatland acknowledged the unique challenges posed by Fiji’s unpredictable style of play, stating, “Knowing what Fiji are like, they hang in the game, they throw the ball around, and then they get excited by those sorts of things.

As the Welsh side prepares for their upcoming challenges, there is a silver lining: the experience gained from playing against a dynamic team like Fiji could serve as a valuable lesson. With upcoming matches, there is still hope for the team to regroup and come back stronger.
