Australia edged New Zealand 24-22 in the opener with a Jack Bostock hat-trick on debut, and they have won every Test against Fiji, including 54-6 in the 2017 World Cup semi-final in Brisbane.

Australia vs Fiji Tips & Prediction
Our pick: Australia to win. Australia have won every meeting with Fiji, most recently 42-8 at the 2022 World Cup, and their spine of Reece Walsh, Cameron Munster and Harry Grant is a class above. Fiji were impressive against the Cook Islands, but this is a different level.
The one doubt for Australia is Mitchell Moses, who left the opener with a calf injury and went for scans, with Tom Dearden the likely replacement in the halves if he misses.
Best value: Australia 13+. Australia have won by 32 points or more in every World Cup meeting with Fiji since 2008, and a big win here would put them on top of Pool A.
