OITA, October 9
Winger Josh Adams grabbed a hat-trick of tries as a battered and bruised Wales battled to a 29-17 bonus-point win over Fiji today to book their place in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals.

That revived memories of the 'Nightmare in Nantes' when the Pacific islanders knocked Wales out of the 2007 World Cup. Adams, steadied the ship with his hat-trick try on the hour-mark.
