The Vodafone Fiji Bati is now without two of its top fowards for the remainder of the Rugby League World Cup.
Korbin Sims was unable to recover from the broken arm he suffered playing for the Broncos earlier this year.
In a devastating moment in the 58-12 win against the USA last night, Kane Evans broke his wrist as he grounded the ball for a first half try, to make him the second of Fiji’s star forwards to go down.
But, with a backline that includes Jarryd Hayne, Kevin Naiqama, Akuila Uate, Suliasi Vunivalu and the impressive youngster Taane Milne, the Bati have firepower everywhere.
Fiji will now play Wales at 9.30pm next Sunday.
In today’s matches, Ireland will play Italy at 4pm, France will face Lebanon at 5pm while Scotland will take on Tonga at 6.15pm.
