Australian Kangaroos to face Fiji and PNG in historic tri‑contest in Suva

The Australian Kangaroos will face Fiji and Papua New Guinea in a historic tri‑contest in Suva ahead of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.

The innovative format of the match will see all three teams face each other on October 14, at Suva’s ANZ Stadium.

Fiji will face PNG before Australia takes on both PNG and finally Fiji.

All three match‑ups will last 40 minutes.

This will be the Kangaroos' first match in Fiji.

Fiji Bati coach Mick Potter says it will be a great showpiece especially for the local fans.

Meanwhile in the NRL clash tonight, the Rabbitohs will take on the Eels at 9.50pm.
