Australia and Fiji meet in their second Pool A fixture of the 2026 IRL Men’s Rugby League World Cup on Sunday at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, with kick-off at 8:05pm local time.

Both sides made winning starts to their World Cup campaigns and will be looking to claim another two points to strengthen their chances of reaching the semi-finals.

Australia have made one change to their side for Sunday's clash, with captain James Tedesco returning at full-back as Reece Walsh drops to the bench. Jake Bostock retains his place on the wing after scoring a hat-trick on his Test debut in Australia's narrow 24-22 victory over New Zealand last time out.

Fiji, meanwhile, head into the contest following a convincing 40-12 win over the Cook Islands. They have named an unchanged starting XIII for the meeting with Australia as they look to build on their impressive opening performance.
