How to watch Australia v Fiji: Live stream the Men’s Rugby League World Cup Pool A encounter

The Kangaroos will be strong favourites heading into their second Rugby League World Cup match.

Watch Australia v Fiji as the co-hosts and favourites bring their Rugby League World Cup roadshow to Brisbane.

The reigning champion Kangaroos got the result they wanted in the opening match of the tournament, but they had to work hard to beat an outstanding New Zealand team who led until late until the second half. That 24-22 victory is probably the hardest match they’ll play in the pool stages, however, and the Suncorp Stadium crowd will be expecting a comfortable win over Fiji.

Team boss Kevin Walters is exploiting the strength of his squad for this second game, with captain James Tedesco returning at full-back and Bradman Best, Sam Walker and Blayke Brailey making their Kangaroos debuts.

Fiji know they have nothing to lose after their comfortable 40-12 opening weekend win over Cook Islands, with their final fixture – against the Kiwis – likely to have more say over whether they qualify for the knockouts. The starting line-up remains unchanged.
