What channel is Australia v Fiji Rugby World Cup 2023 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Australia v Fiji in a Rugby World Cup 2023 match, including TV details and more.
If Fiji’s game against Wales was anything to go by, this may shape up to be the most exciting game of the weekend.
Eddie Jones’s Australia kicked off their campaign with a bonus point win over Georgia, in what was also the long-awaited first victory of his tenure.
Fiji will now provide ample challenge to Jones’s side and will allow him to gauge where his young team are at as they aim to build up steam.
The opponents, having excruciatingly lost to Wales in their opening game – star player Semi Radradra dropped the ball on the final play – will need a win over Australia if they hope to qualify.
Lose to the Wallabies, while Wales almost certainly beat Portugal, and they’ll need a miracle to pull off passage to the next round.

Australia v Fiji key player to watch
Samu Kerevi (Australia)
An incredible and essential part of this Wallabies team, Samu Kerevi will have the lucky chance to contain Fiji’s Semi Radradra when the two sides clash.
Radradra, whose knock-on condemned Fiji to defeat as the clock went red against Wales, will be fired up. As will the entire Fiji team.
The ever-solid Kerevi will be immeasurably important in matching Fiji’s physicality. They made Wales put in 252 tackles, a World Cup record. His power will be needed. Outside of his defensive duties, his carrying and offload game will be fundamental if Australia want to exploit any gaps Fiji leave.
