Wallabies survive Fiji World Cup fright

The Wallabies have fought back to avoid a catastrophic result at the Rugby World Cup, needing two tries from hooker Tolu Latu to help see off Fiji 39-21 in Sapporo.

Match Commentary

87'		And that's it from this afternoon's match. The Wallabies proved too good for Fiji and take the bonus point. Make sure to stick around for our live commentary of the upcoming France vs. Argentina match.
86'		Big raps to Fiji. Dominated the Wallabies for half an hour and had it not been for Yato HIA and the rolling maul, they might just have had the W. #AUSvFIJ #RWC2019 — Sam Bruce (@Sambruce86) September 21, 2019
85'		It was a fantastic contest for both sides. Fiji were hungry and determined to upset the Wallabies, but the Aussies held strong and went back to simple play in the second. FULL TIME l vs @fijirugby What a start to our #RWC2019 campaign! Thank you to our brothers in the Pacific. Good luck for the rest for the tournament.
