Fiji won last year's Pacific Nations Cup and have been in solid form. Wales beat the Barbarians last weekend but have struggled to win their matches recently.
- Fiji have won 6 of their last 8 fixtures.
- Fiji won the 2025 Pacific Nations Cup.

- Wales lost to Fiji in 2024.
Head to Head
Wales have the advantage over Fiji, with 12 victories to two over Fiji, including one draw in 15 meetings.
Fiji Form
Fiji faced England, France and Spain in the Autumn Nations Series towards the end of last year, losing 38-18, 34-21 and winning 33-4, respectively.
The Flying Fijians were in fine form at the 2025 Pacific Nations Cup. They beat Tonga 32-10 and Samoa 29-15 in the group stages. They then faced Canada in the semi-finals, winning 63-10 before seeing off Japan in the final, 33-27.
Fiji have been performing well recently, winning six of their last eight matches and defeating Wales in their previous meeting, giving them the edge needed to emerge victorious on Saturday.
Wales Form
Wales came out on top against the Barbarians at Twickenham last weekend, winning 33-31 after leading 14-5 at half-time.
Before that victory, the Red Dragons struggled once again at this year's Six Nations Championship, finishing in last place. They lost 48-7 to England, 54-12 to France, 26-23 to Scotland, and 27-17 to Ireland before beating Italy 31-17.
Wales had limited success during last year's Autumn Nations Series. They lost 52-28 to Argentina and defeated Japan 24-23 before losing 52-26 to New Zealand and 73-0 to South Africa.
Wales will be pleased with their latest victory and they have an excellent record against Fiji, but they have struggled to consistently win their matches recently, losing six of their last eight games.
