Kangaroos recognise Vunivalu threat

Kangaroos Captain Cameron Smith says it is exciting but also scary at the same time when he thinks about playing against Melbourne Storm teammate Suliasi Vunivalu in the Tri-Nations tonight.

Smith along with Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Will Chambers, Cameron Munster and Filise Kaufusi will get the rare opportunity of going up against Vunivalu who was the NRL Top Try scorer for the 2016 and 2017 season.

Vunivalu scored 23 tries this season.

This will be a clash of the best in the NRL as Cameron Smith is the NRL Player and Captain of the Year while Billy Slater is the NRL Fullback of the Year. 

The Tri-Nations Series starts at 5.30 this afternoon with the Vodafone Fiji Bati taking on the PNG Kumuls, the Kangaroos will face the Kumuls in the second game before the Bati take on the Kangaroos in the last game at 7.30 tonight.

Each game will be played for 40 minutes.
