10 mins: A lovely flowing move from Fiji's backs after they get quick, clean ball off the top of the line-out from Akapusi Qera. The ball flows through the hands of Mosese Rauluni, Nicky Little, Seremaia Bai and Seru Rabeni before finding Isoa Neivua in space. He beats one man before sending a pass back inside, only for Canada's Craig Culpan to collect it. England and Ireland's backs could do a lot worse than try to emulate at that simple handling move. 6 mins: PEN Fiji 3-3 Canada
Canada's lead doesn't last very long as Dave Biddle is pinged for getting himself offside. The offence is some 45m out but straight in front of the posts, and Nicky Little has no problem with distance or direction. 3 mins: PEN Fiji 0-3 Canada
Fiji scrum-half Mosese Rauluni is penalised for a high tackle and Canada's James Pritchard guides his effort from an acute angle right between the posts to give his side a deserved lead. 1 min: Canada kick off to get the match under way and they dominate possession in the early stages, mounting a series of attacks off the back of their powerful drives. 1257: The national anthems are sung in a sparcely populated Millennium Stadium. There are empty seats everywhere, and you have to wonder about the wisdom of transplanting this match to Cardiff. The players surely deserve something a bit better. 1252: A quick reminder on the players on show in Cardiff this afternoon: Fiji: Ratuvou; Delasau, Rabeni, Bai, Neivua; Little, Rauluni; Dewes, Koto, Railomo, Leawere, Rawaqa, Naevo, Qera, Koyamaibole. Replacements: Sauturaga, Qiodravu, Talei, Qovu, Daunivucu, Kunavore, Ligairi. Canada: Pyke; Van der Merwe, Culpan, Spicer, Pritchard; Smith, Williams (capt); Snow, Riordan, Thiel, Burak, James, Cudmore, Biddle, Stephen.
Replacements: Carpenter, D Pletch, M Pletch, Tait, Yukes, Fairhurst, Monro. 1250: We're a few minutes away from the start of the 17th match of this Rugby World Cup. Fiji eventually won the day against Japan last week in an entertaining match-up, while Canada had Wales on the ropes before running out of steam in the second half.
