The Leek XV is in bad shape. Well below its usual standards, penultimate in the last 6 Nations Tournament, beaten by England (19-17) and swept away by South Africa at home (52-16) in a test match, the Welsh do not arrive in France with full confidence.
Facing Wales are Fiji, a difficult opponent to maneuver around. Fiji could even be the real favorites for this match given their great form (4 wins in 5 matches, including a 30-22 success in England). The two teams will have no room for error in this very tough Group C, particularly with Australia and Georgia, if they want to get a glimpse of the quarter-finals.
This meeting, which has all the tricks of the game for Wales, will start on Sunday September 10 at 9 p.m. at the Stade Matmut Atlantique in Bordeaux, and will be followed on TF1 as well as live commented on our Figaro site.
