Controversial Calls Cast Shadow Over Fiji's Rugby World Cup Campaign Kickoff Against Wales

In what was supposed to be an electrifying start to their respective Rugby World Cup campaigns, Fiji found themselves at the center of controversy as they suffered a gut-wrenching loss to Wales.

The match saw a comeback try slip from Fiji in the final minute of the game, but fans and pundits alike have been left questioning the fairness of the game, due to contentious refereeing decisions that many say seem to have favoured the Welsh side

Wales conceded SEVENTEEN PENALTIES, I don't know how many when Fiji were within spitting distance of the tryline, and were only punished with ONE YELLOW CARD.

Fiji conceded only 9 and also got a yellow.

If you really want a Tier 1 conspiracy theory, start here.#WALvFIJ
