Wales overcome close call with Fiji to reach Rugby World Cup quarter-finals | smhsport

Winger Josh Adams scored a hat-trick as Wales prevailed 29-17 over Fiji, almost certainly ensuring Australia finish second in Pool D at the Rugby World Cup.

The Fijians, upset by Uruguay earlier in the tournament but inspired by standout winger Semi Radrada, kept running the ball until the final whistle but now bow out of World Cup in the pool stage for the third successive time.Wales, who beat the Wallabies, will top the group if they beat Uruguay in their final pool match. Australia play Georgia in their last pool game on Friday.The Pool D winner advances to a quarter-final against the Pool C runner-up, at this stage likely to be France.

Earlier on Wednesday, Russia ended their second World Cup tournament with a 61-0 loss to Scotland, which kept the Scots' hopes of advancing to the quarter-finals alive until their final match against Japan on Sunday.
