ALEX BYWATER IN VERSAILLES: Wales is expected to have a 'judgement time' in their World Cup opener against Fiji, but Warren Gatland's loss of their star fly-half has given the team a leg up. On Thursday, head coach Gatland and his fully fit crew of 33 players will trade the sweltering heat of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris for a similarly hot Bordeaux. The team will face Fiji in Bordeaux, their longtime adversary, a team that has competed in every international tournament since losing in Nantes in 2007.
