- Two tries from David Pocock and one from Sekope Kepu saw Australia kick off their Rugby World Cup campaign with a hard-fought victory against Fiji at the Millennium Stadium on Wednesday.
Pocock's brace gave the Wallabies an 18-3 first-half lead before Kepu added a third to give Australia a seemingly convincing lead.
However, Fiji showed their never-say-die approach when fly-half Ben Volavola touched down and Nemani Nadolo converted to set up an enthralling finale as Australia chased the elusive fourth try and bonus point.
The Wallabies had drawn first blood in a first half littered with penalties when Foley kicked over and Nadolo levelled the score in the 21st minute.
Number eight Pocock touched down in the 26th and 31st minutes.
Kepu added a third with a powerful drive and Foley converted to put Australia in control before Nadolo gave Fiji hope with a lone penalty but it wasn't to be.
An early blow for Fiji came when wing Waisea Nayacalevu twisted his knee in a tackle with Michael Hooper and was forced off. Nayacalevu was replaced by Asaeli Tikoirotuma.

Pocock is all class... what a monster. I remeber before his injury when his game revolved all around pilfering/fetching the ball and solid defense. After his injury though his game has just leveled out so well. Great ball runner, insane command behind a rolling maul and just an overall perfect #7 or #8. So glad we have him....
i love fiji no matter they lose 40 points but the players are always friendly and competitive
full match highlights?? i guess australia magically started off the game with 3 points
Yeah, they always seem to get a head start! 😂
i love gordon brays commentary

Top game !!! Well done Wallabies & Fiji u never gave up !!!
Fiji played better in this game than against England. Kept their composure in the last 20 as well. Volavola attacked the line more here, allowing their backs to get a little bit more forward momentum. Good luck to them against Wales.
Wallabies good and solid first half, excellent defence with 14 men in the second half, but geez we really need fix our line-out issues, I'm glad it happened now and not later on. England fans may be laughing at us about not getting the 5 points, but that's disrespecting Fiji's progress more than Australia. Anyway, I'm happy for the result and glad we got minimum injuries - Slipper should be ok.
+utuber5055 good synopsis add that this was not the strongest team that australia could of fielded...keeping a few key players fresh for the england match
+Leo Mac oh really?..as far as i know..this was the same forward pack that beats nz this year...and who are those players??
are they playing with 10 players...is that what you suggesting......oh it's another excuse becos u guys didn't have bonus point......don't get me wrong ..i always cheer for ausie come the championship.....
These 2 teams will play each other again in this years World Cup
And in 2023 as well
David Pocock💪🏻
This was a really good 'Forwards' Match... The Aussie scrum looks better than England's...
How good was that stalemate scrum!! Penalty could of gone either way in my opinion, but good to see the wallaby pack finally improving
#Benvolavola is too good excited to see him next year playing for crusaders
Came here for the Nadolo tackle that has caused his suspension for the Wales game. Not here. Anyone know where you can see it?
Fiji's Scrum through!!
during the maul of the Australian second try Pocock clearly separates his shoulder from the Australian n° 2 (the player in front of him) and remains "sticked" only with his hand. Isn't it a foul??The ref was very close and didn't call anything. Is it ok? Some years ago wasn't it a foul? Something has changed?
Partidazo, se extraña el mundial
good game fiji....
. . . a disorganised Fijian rucking there, I must say, otherwise they would have done a lot better than the score line suggested. Never mind better luck next time Fiji. Pretty much open as to who will go forward from this group. Your guess is as good as mine. . .
David Pocock
good start to the Wallabies
I am supoting Japan and new zealand and Australia
Fiji!!!!!!!

+Ismail Marzuki wow look at that malaysia is so cool
+Ismail Marzuki that guy holding the flag is so handsome #amirmuhammad
No bonus point?! Hahahahahahahahaha!
+Niko Zachary true but that was not the starting team for the wallabies
+Allan Alberts What happens if Australia win all their games (no bonus points) but the one against England? Assuming Wales loses to England, would that put Australia into second place?
Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up.
The W BP is hugely important in case Wales lost to Fiji for example but beat Austrlia/England
not important buddy as we'll win all our games. xoxo from next world champions.
Bye bye england
