As the Wallabies prepare to take on the Fiji Water Flying Fijians next Sunday, lock forward Will Skelton knows the task at hand will not be easy, especially with the Fijians coming in with some world-class players for this match.

The France-based player says he will just try to be himself, and hopefully, his teammates will try and fulfil whatever they can as best as they can.

Skelton says Fiji has got some great players, but the Wallabies have also got some weapons in their team.

He says he feels Australian rugby has improved a lot in the last two years, especially the Wallabies team.

He adds that they are playing a brand of footy that the whole country is getting behind, and that is really where they want to take it.

Meanwhile, the Wallabies and the Flying Fijians will be competing for the Vuvale Bowl, which was formerly known as the Kava Bowl.

The Wallabies will host the Flying Fijians at 3.30pm next Sunday at the Newcastle International Sports Centre.
