Fiji Bati and PNG out to maintain winning ways

Vodafone Fiji Bati and Papua New Guinea are after more of the same in tomorrow's Rugby League World Cup matches against Ireland and Wales.

The Bati are fresh from a 58‑12 demolition of the United States and are overwhelming favourites to heap further misery on Wales in Townsville

Bati Coach Mick Potter says starting well just puts the team in good stead for later in the game so they need to exert a lot of energy and execute their plays and make sure they get off to a good start.

Meanwhile, the Kumuls thrashed Wales 50‑6 in front of a sold-out home crowd in Port Moresby last weekend and welcome an Irish team that stunned Italy 36‑12.

The Bati will take on Wales at 9.30pm tomorrow.

New Zealand will face Scotland at 4pm today, Samoa will play Tonga at 6.30pm today while England play Lebanon at 9 tonight.
