FIJI VS AUSTRALIA
FIJI vs AUSTRALIA
Wallabies just too strong

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.

On the positive side, Fiji's set pieces were slightly better and the defence remained resolute to the end to avoid what could have been a much bigger score.
