Wales prop Tomas Francis: 'Improved fitness levels told in the end'

Wales prop Tomas Francis has put his side's victory over Fiji down to the high fitness levels of each player.

Warren Gatland's men beat their Southern Hemisphere opponents 23-13 at the Millennium Stadium, just five days after a gutsy display against England.

Despite the quick turnaround in games, Francis believes that high-intensity training camps in the weeks leading up to the tournament helped get his side over the line in Thursday evening's Cardiff showdown.

"We have put in a lot of work during the build-up and knew that our fitness would tell in the end - it got us over the line," he told Sports Mole. "It was a really close game. We were never too far ahead, but we had confidence in ourselves all the way."

Wales now have a nine-day break before taking on Australia in their final Pool A fixture.
