Australia came to France looking seriously undercooked, with Eddie Jones failing to record a single win since re-taking charge of the Wallabies in January. They took advantage of a disappointingly error-strewn Georgia last weekend to sweep to a comfortable 35-15 victory and, at least for the time being, silence the critics that Jones has so frequently jousted during the lead-up to the tournament.
Two tries and 25 points from surprise full-back selection Ben Donaldson will have been particularly gratifying for Jones but the Wallabies will need to retain their focus if they’re to face down the challenge of a team only two places behind them in the world rankings.
For a side that lost their first game, Fiji will enter the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard with a certain swagger of their own. They looked dead and buried against Wales before concocting a devastating final 10 minutes that fell just six points short of overturning the deficit.
The Pacific islanders, remember, came into the RWC with their first ever win against England. You have to go back 69 years for the last time they came out on top of the Wallabies. Will they be rewriting the history books on Sunday?
Below we’ve got all the details you need for Australia vs Fiji live streams and watching the Rugby World Cup from any corner of the globe — keep reading to discover how to get the game where you are.
