Kangaroos winger Dane Gagai admits to being "blown away" by the size and power of the Vodafone Fiji Bati and is expecting an explosive start to the World Cup semi‑final in Brisbane on Friday night.

The qualities of the Bati are epitomised by Melbourne winger Suliasi Vunivalu. The star winger has scored eight tries during the tournament after having turned in a stellar NRL season for the Storm.

Gagai pointed right across the park to the dangers Fiji would pose as they target a second upset this week.

From Kevin Naiqama at fullback, to Jarryd Hayne at five‑eighth and giant Viliame Kikau in the back‑row, Gagai saiys they are "a great outfit".

The Knights winger says Fiji will not be taken lightly.

The Vodafone Fiji Bati will take on the Kangaroos at 10pm Friday.

Meanwhile the second semifinal between Tonga and England will be held at 6pm Saturday.
