BORDEAUX (Reuters) - Fiji were left to bemoan missed opportunities, none more heartbreaking than Semi Radradra's drop with a last-minute comeback on the cards, after sliding to a 32-26 defeat to Wales in their Pool C opener in Bordeaux on Sunday.

"We just weren't clinical enough, we dropped the ball over the try line, we had a couple of opportunities we couldn't score," Fiji coach Simon Raiwalui said.
