After getting the job done in a must-win clash, the Wallabies now must switch their focus to the Fijians, who are a danger on Australia’s path to the next round.
Fiji faced off against Wales in the best match of the Rugby World Cup so far, going down 32-26 in a high-scoring clash. A close match throughout, the Fijians trailed by just four points at halftime before the Welsh scored a pair of tries just after halftime. Two late tries gave the Fijians hope of a miracle comeback, but they fell just short.
Despite the loss, the Fijians still earned themselves two bonus points during the match, one for scoring four tries and the other for losing by less than seven points. If they win against the Wallabies, they will hold the advantage in proceeding to the knockout stages.
The Wallabies will be missing key front rower Taniela Tupou for this match as he battles a hamstring injury. They may find themselves undermanned in the front row, as they are already missing props James Slipper and Pone Fa’amausili for the match. First-choice scrum-half Tate McDermott will also be missing due to a concussion, with Nic White expected to fill the role.
