23 Sep 2015

23 Sep 2015

68' Crowd getting on Glen Jackson's back a bit here for blowing up Fiji for a knock-on after an Aussie knock-on. Advantage was played though.

67' And just as you started thinking about a comeback, David Pocock forces the turnover. Penalty to Australia for holding on. 

23 Sep 2015

66' Fiji win their 3rd Aussie lineout in a row! They've got a spring in their step now! 

23 Sep 2015

23 Sep 2015

23 Sep 2015

60' The conversion is good too! Australia 25-13 Fiji.

23 Sep 2015

58' Fiji put together possibly their best passage of play that culminates in a penalty after Greg Holmes didn't roll away. Fiji opt for a lineout. 

23 Sep 2015

56' This time Matawula makes no mistake and Fiji have an attacking lineout!

23 Sep 2015

55' Fiji have a penalty on the half way line and then miss touch. Talk about not doing yourself any favours. 

23 Sep 2015

54' You have to give it to Fiji ... it may be low percentage rugby but when those passes come off it is worth watching! 

23 Sep 2015

52' Fiji put together one of their better attacks and break into Australia's half. But Pocock steals the ball away in a second and the momentum is lost. It's always Pocock. 

23 Sep 2015

50' Fiji try to get an attack going but the pass is over Nadolo and he can't reach it. That takes some doing! 

23 Sep 2015

23 Sep 2015

45' Not the best start to the half for Fiji ... and it could be a long, long 35 minutes ahead for them. 

23 Sep 2015

44' Foley adds the extra two. 

23 Sep 2015

Second half underway as Bernard Foley kicks off!

23 Sep 2015

We'll be back in a few to give you LIVE COVERAGE of the second half ...

23 Sep 2015

Australia, meanwhile, are all on the same page. Their lineouts are running like clockwork and they are destroying Fiji at the breakdown. 

23 Sep 2015

You can see that Fiji want to play attacking, entertaining rugby. But you still have to look after the ball and be disciplined, and they have done neither of those things. 

23 Sep 2015

HT: Nadolo kicks it out and it's half time. Australia have been clinical. They lead 18-3. 

23 Sep 2015

40' Fiji lucky to not concede there after giving the ball away. They have no cohesion at the moment ... just throwing the ball all over the park hoping someone is going to get on the end of it. 

23 Sep 2015

38' Foley is accurate this time and Australia add 3 points to their lead. It's now 18-3.

23 Sep 2015

33' Foley shanks the conversion horribly. Australia 15-3 Fiji. 

23 Sep 2015

23 Sep 2015

31' TRY AUSTRALIA 

23 Sep 2015

31' Australia set up another attacking lineout ...
