Australia survive almighty Fiji scare to stay unbeaten at Rugby League World Cup

Australia survived a major scare from Fiji, winning 36-22 in a pulsating Rugby League World Cup clash in Brisbane on Sunday night. Tom Trbojevic scored a hat-trick for the Kangaroos, while Semi Valemei matched him with three tries for Fiji, who ran in four tries in a fearless display. The Fijians, visibly emotional during their anthem and pre-match hymn, challenged the hosts throughout, but Australia's bench strength, the class of James Tedesco, and Trbojevic's finishing proved decisive.

The match, played before a healthy crowd and a prime-time TV audience, underscored the value of the tournament, with Fiji's performance silencing critics of the World Cup's competitiveness. The Kangaroos remain unbeaten, but the scare raises questions about their vulnerability ahead of tougher tests. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
