After the completion of the first round of the 2023 Rugby World Cup pool matches, Wallabies head coach Eddie Jones will now have a tough decision about whether to have star centre Samu Kerevi, who is still not yet 100 per cent fully fit, starting in their next pool clash against the Fiji Water Flying Fijians next Monday or to rest him.

Kerevi who suffered a broken hand injury during the Bledisloe Cup clash against the All Blacks last month, was struggling against Georgia in their RWC opener last week.

The question now is, will Jones take the risk of starting Kerevi against the expected inside centre starter for Fiji Semi Radradra?

After a great performance from Fiji against Wales, the Wallabies will be looking to put on a full-strength side against an ever-improving Fijians side.

The Wallabies secured a bonus point 35-15 win over Georgia last weekend to put them on top of pool C ahead of Wales who is second followed by Fiji and Georgia with Spain still yet to kick off their RWC campaign.

The Wallabies will take on the Flying Fijians next Monday at 3.45am in Lyon.
