Wales boss Warren Gatland sets record straight on swearing storm after Fiji Rugby World Cup win

While Wales were able to win, however, Biggar was seen losing his cool at North just before half-time.

The 33-year-old was seen swearing at his team-mate after North opted against kicking the ball into touch - despite his side being under pressure in their own 22.

But Gatland has defended Biggar and sees no issue with the way the Wales star conducted himself during the showdown.

"I didn't have a problem with it. It's about making people accountable," said the 59-year-old.

"There's nothing wrong with players in terms of challenging each other.

"We want that as part of the group so that everyone is accountable.

"For me, that peer pressure is huge in terms of that and taking responsibility.

"Those sort of criticisms aren't personal. We talk about it being a point of care.

"It's about the team getting better and individuals getting better because we need to be comfortable with being critical."

Gatland also hailed Wales for the way they got the victory over Fiji - but insisted his side made 'dumb decisions' to put themselves under pressure.

Fiji looked to have scored a dramatic late try through Semi Radradra.

Fortunately for Wales, however, the 31-year-old knocked the ball on.

"I'm delighted with the win but we made it a lot harder for ourselves than we needed to, made some dumb decisions in the last 15 minutes," Gatland added.

"We'll have a thorough review that we need to go through, some of the discipline and stuff.

"I'm a little bit angry about a few things but the positive is we won.

"I thought we were in control of the game but we know what Fiji are like and what they're capable of and we lost a bit of composure.

"There were periods which were excellent and were there learning, you know, with all the hard work that we've put in.

"There was some times where when you're in control of the game, it's about your man management.

"I kind of go back to four or five years ago when we'd been through this process for the team as it was growing and developing, and it took us a bit of time to actually be able to comfortably implement sort of the game management and understanding and players not giving away stupid penalties and putting us under pressure.

"And then so today there was incidents of that.

"And like I said, it's making sure that we're honest and we review that and we learn from those situations about how we manage things going forward and and everyone getting better."

Wales are next in action against Portugal on Saturday (4.45pm).
