Ten players who were part of the Wallabies side that lost 23-15 to the Flying Fijians in Saint-Etienne in 2023 are in the current squad but hooker Tevita Ikanivere is optimistic of repeating the same performance.

Despite the short preparation period for this Test against the Wallabies, Ikanivere believes they can handle it.
‘That’s always the goal in rugby no one plays to lose we are here to win and it may be a short preparation window but that’s all we’ve got and that’s what we have to work with, I know all the boys coming in are professionals’
Front row and fullback are key positions that head coach Mick Byrne hopes to have more depth in.
Byrne will name his side to face Australia next Friday.
The Flying Fijians meet the Wallabies next Sunday at 3:30pm and you can watch it live on FBC Sports.
