Wales open their Nations Championship campaign with a 39-24 win over Fiji in Cardiff. Fiji and Wales trade early momentum, and Fiji manage to level the contest at the break, but Wales pull away over the second half. By full time, Wales record their second successive Test victory and secure a clear margin despite the unusual swing after Fiji’s strong first-half showing.
Jac Morgan is central to Wales’ first-half performance. After returning to the Wales flank following injury that kept him out for much of the season, Morgan scores two tries in the opening period. Reports describe his impact not only in attack but also in defence, with emphasis on sustained work around the contact area throughout the match.
Sky Sports and the Guardian both highlight Morgan’s double as a key reason Wales establish and maintain control as the game progresses. Across outlets, the headline result is consistent: Wales defeat Fiji 39-24 in the Nations Championship opener.
