Since then they have played each other on eleven other occasions, including four times at the Rugby World Cup - once in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, once in the 2011 Rugby World Cup, once in the 2015 Rugby World Cup and once in the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Wales have won the majority of the games, winning ten out of the twelve matches played. Fiji has won once, with one draw in 2010.
