1 min: Stephen Jones gets things underway kicking off in glorious sunshine.

Pre-match: The future of Wales coach Gareth Jenkins could rest on the outcome of this Pool B decider in Nantes.

Defeat will end Wales' stuttering World Cup campaign at the pool stage and heap pressure on coach Jenkins to resign.

Victory will set up a last eight tie with South Africa, the minimum goal Jenkins demanded before the tournament.

Iconic full-back Gareth Thomas will become the first Welshman to win 100 caps, but with so much at stake, any celebrations are on hold until the team's destiny is known.

Wales: Gareth Thomas (capt); Mark Jones, Tom Shanklin, James Hook, Shane Williams; Stephen Jones, Dwayne Peel; Gethin Jenkins, Matthew Rees, Chris Horsman, Alun Wyn Jones, Ian Evans, Colin Charvis, Martyn Williams, Alix Popham. Replacements: Thomas Rhys Thomas, Duncan Jones, Ian Gough, Michael Owen, Mike Phillips, Jamie Robinson, Dafydd James.


Fiji: Kameli Ratuvou; Vilimoni Delasau, Seru Rabeni, Seremaia Bai, Isoa Neivua; Nicky Little, Mosese Rauluni (capt); Graham Dewes, Sunia Koto, Jone Railomo, Kele Leawere, Ifereimi Rawaqa, Semisi Naevo, Akapusi Qera, Sisa Koyamaibole.
