Sam Warburton: 'Fiji match one of my toughest ever'

Wales skipper Sam Warburton has described his side's Rugby World Cup meeting with Fiji as "one of the toughest Test matches" of his career.

The Red Dragons were made to work hard for the win, having been contained by their determined opponents in a tightly-contested second half.

In the end Wales simply had to settle for the four points, but Warburton says that he is more than happy with the result, which comes just five days after a gruelling match against England.

"That was one of the toughest Test matches I've played in," he told reporters. "In the first half I was worrying that [Warren Gatland] was going to pull me off because I was running around too slowly - I was exhausted.

"None of the players spoke about that until after the game, we didn't want any negative talk around the group, but I think everyone found it tough. That's when I realised that the bonus point was going to be extremely tough to get.

"I think it's disrespectful to Fiji to talk about bonus points before the game because we knew with only a five-day turnaround it was going to be one of the tougher test matches we'd played in."

Wales top the Pool A standings after winning each of their opening three games.
