Australia vs Fiji Rugby Union International

Australia vs Fiji Rugby Live War

Saturday 5th June 2010, 10:30GMT


Australia defeated the FMF Flying Fijians 49-0 at the Subiaco Oval in Perth, teaching the Fijians a few lessons in backline combinations as the Wallabies ran in eight unanswered tries.

Whilst Fiji's forwards were more competitive than a week earlier against the Junior All Blacks, Ili Tabua's boys found themselves in defensive mode for practically the whole game.

And after working so hard to force the occasional turnover, the backs tended to kick the ball straight back to the Australians to put their team under pressure again.

15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Digby Ioane, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Matt Giteau, 11 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Luke Burgess, 8 Richard Brown, 7 David Pocock, 6 Rocky Elsom (c), 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 Dean Mumm, 3 Saesi Ma'Afu, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Saia Faingaa, 17 Pek Cowan, 18 Mark Chisholm, 19 Matt Hodgson, 20 Josh Valentine, 21 Drew Mitchell, 22 James O'Connor.
