There are nine changes in total to the side with a new half-back pairing of Dan Biggar and Richie Rees with Aled Brew starting on one wing and impressive debutant from last week’s South Africa defeat George North retaining his spot on the other flank.

And despite rotating his squad for the visit of the Fijians Gatland has warned his side to underestimate them at their peril.

“We must maintain our focus this week, if we even cast an eye beyond Fiji on Friday night, to the World Cup or even just to the game a week later [against New Zealand] we could be left counting the cost,” said Gatland.

“We know all too well that the Fijians bring an extra dimension to their game when they face Wales and there is no doubt they will have targeted us this weekend as a game think they can win.”
