Fired-up Australia subdue Fiji

LONDON. — Australia launched their Rugby World Cup campaign with a 28-13 victory over Fiji in Pool A at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium yesterday. Back-row forward David Pocock scored two tries in four minutes for the Wallabies at the venue where Australia won the second of their two World Cup titles back in 1999. But his side will be disappointed to miss out on a bonus point.

Fiji, beaten 35-11 by tournament hosts England in the so-called “Pool of Death” at Twickenham on Friday, pushed hard for a losing bonus point but to no avail. — AFP.
