The game failed to live up to expectation and it was Fiji who surprised the Welsh by leading 13-6 at half time.br /br /The game ended in drama once again as Wales, who came back through a penalty try, hung on for another exciting finish but yet again the crowd left frustrated. br /br /"We have let them down," said coach Warren Gatland. "We feel a bit embarrassed by the performance. It would have been nice to send the kids and families here tonight away with a win and we were not good enough to do it," he added.br /br /Wales have now not won any of their last six games under Gatland and have only won twice in their last 12. “As coach I’m always under pressure, But I prepare a team as well as I can... I can’t go out there and play the game for them.br /br /"It’s up to the players, but you have to take the good with the bad. And this was bad. We have to take it on the chin and look forward to New Zealand."br /br /James Hook said the result was definitely one of their lows since Gatland took over.br /br /"We did not win the game and we drew, but it seems like a defeat. Warren did not have to say too much after the game because the players and coaches were gutted," he said.br /br /A good result for Fiji though, who showed that they’re no pushovers.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rAVRstBJkLU?fs=1amp;hl=en_USamp;rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rAVRstBJkLU?fs=1amp;hl=en_USamp;rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Time:/span 05:36br /span style="font-weight: bold;"Note: /spanBetter quality highlights will be posted sometime soon /spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-8345369932698812393?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //div pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jcaRflbGYmuEUtzz31wZiptJVwo/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jcaRflbGYmuEUtzz31wZiptJVwo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jcaRflbGYmuEUtzz31wZiptJVwo/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/jcaRflbGYmuEUtzz31wZiptJVwo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=TBtwtsUEkMc:3IAK6ke3r3I:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/TBtwtsUEkMc" height="1" width="1"/ More...
