Australia are sweating over the fitness of Israel Folau and Bernard Foley ahead of taking on England, with both players struggling with an illness.

The duo, along with several other playing and staff members in the Wallabies camp, have been hit by a stomach bug ahead of this weekend’s fixture.

However, second‑row Izack Rodda has played down the fears in the group, insisting the issue is being contained before the November Test finale.

It has already been reported that back‑row David Pocock was an injury concern, but Rodda says he is confident his team‑mate will play.

The Flying Fijians will take on France at 9.45am this Sunday.

In other matches this Sunday, the All Blacks will face Italy at 3am, England will face Australia at 4am while South Africa will take on Wales at 6.20am.
