Fiji, dominant and daring, relaunched by beating Australia 22-15, Sunday September 17 in Saint-Etienne for the second day of the 2023 World Cup. The Fijians, authors of a try, won their first meeting, thus joining Australia, which won the defensive bonus and scored two tries, in second place in group C with six points, behind Wales (10 pts). With this victory, the Fijians put an end to a sixty-nine year drought against the Wallabies. Their previous success dates back to June 26, 1954 in Sydney. “ I’m really proud of the players. It was a great match, against a great Australian team. In the second half we wanted to keep playing and play to win. Our kicking game was good, our runs were good, our three-quarters controlled the game well. I’m happy for the boys, happy for the captain. We pushed them hard for 11 to 12 weeks of preparation “, commented Simon Raiwalui, Fiji coach.
