CARDIFF (Reuters) - Wales beat a valiant 14-man Fiji 17-13 at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday in a precursor to next year when the two nations meet in the pool stages of the World Cup.

In an open first half, Wales scored unconverted tries through giant wingers George North and Alex Cuthbert and a converted penalty try following a collapsed maul to take a 17-6 lead into the break.
