Speight wants Wallabies to have more test matches with Fiji

Wallabies flyer Henry Speight has hailed the contributions of the Rugby World Cup's Tier 2 nations and says it's the prime time for Australia to play a Test in Fiji.

Fiji, along with the other Tier Two nations, have helped to make the current World Cup one of the best on record, with the likes of Japan, Georgia and Romania recording memorable victories in the Pool stages.

Speight says Fiji played above what people expected them to play and their games against Australia, England and Wales were all within respectable margins and that's the story of the World Cup so far.

He says there is a huge fan base in Fiji for the All Blacks and Wallabies and it is only fair that they have more test matches with the Flying Fijians.

Australia last played Fiji outside a World Cup back in 2010 in Canberra.

The Wallabies will take on Scotland at 3am Monday. If they are successful then they will meet the winner of the Ireland and Argentina match in the semifinal.

In the other quarter finals, South Africa will take on Wales at 3am Sunday, the All Blacks will face France at 7am Sunday while Ireland will take on Argentina at 12am Monday.
