Wales coach Warren Gatland was left to count the cost of his side's memorable 28-25 World Cup victory over England at Twickenham, admitting "we're running out of players".
Wales' storming second-half comeback in Pool A on Saturday night saw winger Hallam Amos suffer a dislocated shoulder, centre Scott Williams a knee injury and groggy fullback Liam Williams a head knock that forced him to be carried off on a stretcher.
Those injuries are the latest in a long line of problems for Gatland's squad, with key backs Leigh Halfpenny and Rhys Webb ruled out of the World Cup by serious injury in their final warm-up match while centre Cory Allen, who scored three of his country's eight tries in their opener against Uruguay, was ruled out of the rest of the tournament by a hamstring tear.
It left Gatland pondering just who he could call on, with Wales facing Fiji at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Thursday.
"Fiji is massive for us. We've spoken that if we win today and win against Fiji, then England against Australia is absolutely huge and the pool could be over by then. We have to front up against Fiji," he said.
"They're not the worst team and we have to respect them. Hopefully we can go out there and beat them. England have to beat Australia and it's a case of wait and see.
"We have to make sure we prepare well enough and get our recovery in. This isn't anything new to us. We've prepared meticulously for these scenarios.
"We've run out of players at the moment. No one knows more than me what the players have been through in the last few months."
