Wales rugby team knocked out at Commonwealth Games by Fiji despite impressive performance

Wales Sevens have been knocked out of quarter-final contention at the 2022 Commonwealth Games after falling to a 38-24 defeat to Olympic champions Fiji.

It was always going to be a tough ask against the South Sea Islanders, who sat top of Pool C going into the match having followed up a 52-0 win over Zambia with a hard-fought 19-12 over Canada on day one of the Games on Friday.

A spirited Wales scored four tries against Fiji on Saturday afternoon in the entertaining final pool match, with impressive Lloyd Lewis crossing twice, while Tom Williams and Morgan Williams also touched down. But, despite their skilful efforts and much-improved display, Wales finished third in pool C and do not progress into the last-eight.
